Tog, you ready for Feb 2? In TX we have a pretty complex system...we have 1A-5A with 32 districts. There are 8-6 schools in each district. The top three make playoffs with the "big school" going division 1 and the "small schools" going Div 2. In theory, they don't want the top school in the 5A to have more than double the smallest school in 5A and so on down the classifications. Therefore, we have 8 state champs, not including private schools and 6 man ball. So with 1120 public schools, we have roughly 480 going to the playoffs. Way too watered down for most people. Interesting thing is, sometimes there are four really good teams in a district. Sometimes its a struggle to get two decent teams.

I think the NCAA pools were only the tips of the iceberg. Colorado got into alot of trouble in the Barnett regime (before the other controversy) soley based on what Neuheisel did.
I'm not going to judge the guy one way or the other, but where there's smoke there's usually fire...

Rule #1: "The pardner". A person is picked to be the pardner at the beginning of the game. The first time Brent says "pardner", the pardner has to take 1 drink, and then picks someone else to be the pardner. The next time Brent says it, the new pardner has to take 2 drinks, and then pick a new pardner, and so on and so on. The pardner must wear a special "pardner" hat.
Rule #2: "Folks" Everyone drinks 1 when Brent says "Folks". However, if Brent says "Hold on Folks", everyone must drink once but the first person to drink has to finish their drink for not holding on.
Rule #3: "It's a foot race!". Whenever Brent says "It's a foot race" everyone has to finish their drink. The first one done becomes "That Man" and gets to punch the pardner in the arm.
Rule #4: "There's that man again". After someone becomes "That Man", they get to give away 3 drinks to someone of their choosing the next time Brent says "That Man". That person then becomes "That Man". If Brent says "That Man" before "It's a footrace", The Pardner becomes That Man. If The Pardner becomes That Man first, he gets to punch the new That Man in the arm twice after giving away the 3 drinks. There must also be a special hat for "That Man".
Rule #5: "Dr. Pepper". Everytime Brent says "Dr. Pepper" everyone has to yell out "I'M A PEPPER!" and take 2 drinks. Afterwards, each person must give out a satisfied "AAAAAAAHHHHH!", as if in a Dr. Pepper commercial. Anyone who fails to do so must drink again.
Alternate Rule #5: "Budweiser". If the game is sponsered by Budweiser and not DP, Everytime Brent says "Budweiser" everyone has to yell out "THIS BUD'S FOR YOU!" and take 2 drinks. Afterwards, each person must say "TRUE", as if in a Budweiser commercial. Anyone who fails to do so must drink again.
Rule #6: "Jack Arute". Whenever Brent says "Our ol' buddy Jack Arute" everyone has to say "AROOOOOOT!" Last one to do it has to do a shot. If everyone does it simultaneously, the pardner must do a shot.
Rule #7: "In the college game". Whenever Brent says this little gem, everyone must say "Shut the {censored} up Brent", drink 2, and punch the pardner in the arm.
Rule #8: Mentioning a Big 10 school during a non-Big 10 game. Whenever Brent does this, the first person who names the Big 10 school's mascot gets to make somebody drink for 11 seconds, since there's 11 schools in the Big 10.
Rule #9: Calling a touchdown before the player actually scores. For example, during an interception return, Brent says "It's a touchdown!" before the player actually scores. In this case, everyone must start drinking and continue to drink until the player actually does score. If by some odd event, the player does NOT score, everyone must finish their drink.
Rule #10: "Gary, my man". Whenever Brent says "Gary, my man", the pardner gets to choose someone to be Gary. From that point on, that person must be referred to as "Gary, my man" until the game is over. "Gary, my man" gets to give away 5 drinks the rest of the game any time Brent says "Gary, my man". If someone talks to "Gary, my man" without calling him that, they have to do a shot. If there is someone playing the game actually named Gary, that person is automatically "Gary, my man". Rule also applies to "Gary, My Friend", But Rule 14 still applies
Rule #11: "The Major". If Brent has a pet nickname for one of the players during the game, for example calling Major Applewhite "The Major", everyone must drink 5 anytime Brent uses this nickname. However, "Gary, my man" does not drink but gets to give away 5 drinks since this person already has a nickname of their own.
Rule #12: "John Saunders". The first time Brent quips with John Saunders, everyone must drink 1. The next time, everyone must drink 2, and so on and so on.
Rule #13: In the booth. Whenever there's a camera shot of Brent in the booth, the pardner must make a toast to Brent. After the toast, everyone must drink 1
Rule #14: "My Friend". Every pardner gets to choose a "Friend". The friend must always get up to get the pardner another drink (since the pardner will be doing quite a bit of that). However, when Brent utters "My Friend" the friend gets to punch the pardner in the arm for making him get up so much..

I think the minimum is to be able to throw quick. This keeps the other teams from simply blitzing more than you can protect. After that, they must respect your spreading, opening up the run and deeper passes.

It doesn't make a difference how much you work on tackling if your kids don't make the tackle. Getting stronger is a function of becoming a better tackler. Oh, and forcing turnovers helps too.

My personal opinion: I think the best man for the position should always get the job, regardless of religious faith. When you're on airplane, would you choose a pilot because of his religious beliefs or because of his proficiency in the field?

" Wow! Have you guys started practice? How the hell does he think he's going to be able to run all of that? Have the players been aprehensive of trying to run all of those things? Why not throw the Run and Shoot and the Wing-T in there as well? Good luck, I think I would talk to him, and if he wont change his mind, find another gig. Aznando" Please, no more offenses. I don't want you jinxing me! The players have been practicing for about a month, but I just agreed to help this week (I was begged to do it for about a month). I really don't know how well the players memorized everything, but let me tell you: the offense looks sh***y.

I am a college student who wants to coach in HS... this spring I grudginly agreed to help coach a semi-pro team as their OL coach. Problem is, this coach not only has never played football but has little coaching experience outside of the peewee level (which I have nothing wrong with, btw). He wants to run the airraid offense, the wishbone (complete triple option stuff, veer, ML, etc) and the I formation. Its almost like he has three different offenses completely separate with no identity. When I brought this up with him, he said his philosophy was to "make the defense adjust to one offense at halftime, then come out with something completely different."
What should I do? Should I try to change his mind, or what?

Wow!! Now that is some passing yards!! Try 601 passing yards for Daniel Meager at UNT. I think he threw more yards against SMU than he did all of last year.

In my school district, any student can have water in a bottle with a screw-on cap during class, athlete or not. You should talk to the admins about something like this.

In time for the bowl season again, here is the Brent Musburger drinking game.
WARNING!
Play at your own risk. It is conceivable your whole party will be passed out with 8 mins remaining in the 1st quarter.
*Note: Partner is spelled "Pardner," because that's the way Brent says it.

Rule #8: Mentioning a Big 10 school during a Big 12 game. Whenever Brent does this, the first person who names the Big 10 school's mascot gets to make somebody drink for 11 seconds, since there's 11 schools in the Big 10.
Rule #9: Calling a touchdown before the player actually scores. For example, during an interception return, Brent says "It's a touchdown!" before the player actually scores.

Strategically, I think main problem with the wishbone is only having two receivers who can quickly get into a pattern. Not trying to bash the true wishbone, or definetely not the triple option, but just offering my two cents.

Just a little story I would like to share. Last week during practice, we had a wild pig run out on the field. I am talking a 350+ pot-bellied hog. Thankfully it had no tusks and didn't charge anyone.
Anyone ever a problem with wild animals running on the field?

Play the hardest worker for 75% of the snaps. If he is that fast, try getting the ball to him short where his hands are not a problem, i.e. bubble, quick screens, reverses.
Make the other guys fight for playing time. It might just straighten out their attitudes.
