Guys who worry about us listening to their plays probably think that we give a phuk about winning the 7-on-7. When in reality we don't even give a phuk what they think at all anyway. I'm going to get me a visor and see if it makes me feel like I'm the smarterest coach in the world too.
Booster Club guy brought me a team visor at Summer camp shortly after I got job so I felt obliged to wear one for first time ever (31st year at that time).
Top of my head got sunburned, gave visor to my wife as soon as I got home.
Never again.

qbtee.net/hsrose, I like that they use the time tee, no snapper!! true 4 second count, should be required for all 7 on 7 contests!

We have state tournament, it is brutal. Last spring we were in a tournament that can qualify you to go to state. It was a pool play tournament and the top two qualify, but it gets confusing because if a team has already qualified for state at a previous tournament then they don't count, even if they get first or second. So we went about .500 in the tournament and were pretty sure that another school had qualified and we didn't. Man we were pumped, until they come over to tell us we qualified. We argued that another school did and we didn't, so there was a meeting that went like this. us: "great job coaches, you guys are going to STATE" them: "hell no we didn't, you guys are IN for sure, congratulations" us: "no, no, no..you guys are really good and we suck, have fun over there!" and back and forth it went...everybody knows that 7on7 sucks I don't know if there are any South Park fans here, but this reminds me of when the kids keep trying to lose in baseball and it's a battle between the different teams to see who can try less and lose. You beat me to it! My favorite part was when they played the team who was so good at losing, they would hit balls into the opposing players' gloves and hit players' bats with pitches. The idea of "going to state" in 7 on 7 is beyond ridiculous to me.

I had almost given up hope of @dcohio responding. I knew this was too good for him to resist. My mission is complete. All objectives have been met. Good day, gentlemen.

What if you run the wing-t, average 5 passes a game, and wear a visor (just at practice never at a game)? Is that ok or should I lose the visor so my coachhuey membership card isn't revoked?

The visor, I can forgive. But the puka shell necklace, I can not. REVOKED.

No visors...that's how it starts...and before long you forget your shoes and you're wearing flip flops...and before you know it you'll be on RuPaul's Drag Race talking about "buck sweep" and "waggle" but those will no longer be football terms. It's just safer if you just steer clear of it all together. Damn. What about neon colored sneakers and/or pastel colored socks those seem to be cool now days as well...

How about cargo shorts? Are those good?
To go with the visor, puka shells, and flip flops with pastel socks, of course.
To be an OC, you need to look like an OC.

We won a 7-on-7 a few years ago. The field consisted of: 1. Team A: a state power from an hour and a half away, with several D.1 players, well coached, and they cared about 7-on-7. 2. Team B: Power from a neighboring state, about four hours away. They arrived on a chartered bus at the end of a tour of 7-on-7's. 3. A bunch of average teams, including us. In the first game, Team A crushed us. We then beat a couple average teams. In the last pool game, right before lunch, Team B is in the process of handing us our a$$es when the sky opens up. They suspend the game and we go inside for lunch, waiting for the storm to pass but it doesn't. The torrential rain continues-the stadium stairs are waterfalls- and there's lightning. The lunch hour becomes two hours and there's no sign that it'll stop soon. Team's A and B decide that they need to get on the road and they leave. For the "championship" game we're supposed to play another local team but a lot of kids from both teams have gone home. Since we have the best record of teams that are left, we're awarded the trophy. WOO HOO! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! Did you get rings?

You beat me to it! My favorite part was when they played the team who was so good at losing, they would hit balls into the opposing players' gloves and hit players' bats with pitches. The idea of "going to state" in 7 on 7 is beyond ridiculous to me. no doubt, welcome to our own personal hell here in the great lone star state. The state tournament has become a really big deal. All of the kids get Adidas shorts and compression shirts, and cleats (which is cool for the kids, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make them really like 7 on 7). They have it in July so it's 653 degrees outside and you're sitting out in the sun all day slowly dying. Since the games are timed, every game that is going on has to start and end at the same exact time. So if a kid get hurt and they have to stop the game to check him out, EVERY game that is going on has to stop and hang out (they blow a big horn). It's crazy man, nothing but visor guys walking around with golf tees in their ears for no reason and raging hard-ons, parents sitting there on the sideline with the coaching staff (never a good thing) and to top it all off it's usually the last free weekend you're going to have before things start humming in the fall. Couple that with the fact that your staff is staying in a hotel in a college town so some beverages are likely being thrown down in the evenings. You're trying to ignore the third string QB's dad in your ear while watching touch football and profusely sweating out miller lite and getting skin cancer. Moral of the story, whatever state you are currently in, don't start up a state 7on7 tournament.

Gripes about offense at 7 on 7 (The ones mentioned previously I completely agree with) 4. Holding up every play on card for your offense to run 5. Throwing the ball to the crosser that just crossed in front of (or behind) your center. 6. Not bringing a Center. Gripes about defense at 7 on 7 (not covered in previous post) 1. Playing your LBs at 9 yards and dropping on the cadence. Don't forget about all of the Cover 2 Man defenses you see at 7 on 7.
