Bucksweep.com used to have a great page on the SALLY. Does anyone have a link or empirical data on why the Sally is called what it is? I know Sally Rand was a "dancer" and all that story...

I know Sally Rand was a "dancer" and all that story... as far as i know... there is no factual account of why sally is called sally. there's obviously the known story about Sally Rand.... but the account was always dubious, but a fun story. |

Sally Rand was an exotic "fan dancer", burlesque performer / stripper of the 1920s-1940s.
She would appear onstage with large ostrich feather fans and strategically placed garments to conceal her nudity, or create the illusion of being nude, depending on what local authorities would tolerate. It was said that she turned around with "nothing in front of her." (except the fans)
The term "Sally" as applied to a Wing T draw was described as a naked draw, where the QB turned around naked and had nothing in front of him. I originally learned this as a "Draw Counter."
For some reason this was attributed to to Tubby Raymond, although I can't confirm it.

Delaware called it "Sally" because like Sally Rand to the defense they were seeing something that they weren't or wasn't there. The audience that watched Sally Rand and her large feathers were fooled into thinking they were seeing something. Much like Sally Rand, the play Sally is an illusion, by the time you realize what you are not seeing the play is hitting the other way. Bryan Schaumloffel bucksweep.com ![]() |

I had a lot of problems with the server host and spam. The website development of the site became obsolete. I shut it down. Maybe one day I will start it up again. It was one the first of its kind ever on the internet. One of the first five football coaching sites in the history of the internet.
