ROR,

I reviewed your great photos from the GAC game this morning and am wondering if you could post the photo of GAC OC- Brown (the one that shows his two wrist bands of plays and the attached play sheet at his waist)?  Just a quick glance at that photo will tell anyone why GAC had virtually no offense last week......too complex and no focus on what works.  Jerry and company eat up those sorts of offenses.

How do you know GAC's offense is too complex?

What's that? Hamms with an olive in it?

Looks like all that time in Florida has finally turned TDT into a Gators fan.

And, the last time the Red Sox were in this situation they reeled off 7 straight to win the ALCS and then the World Series.

We'll see..... 8)

Those were the glory days of baseball...

Unfortunately, no.  It's a Hamm's with a hunk of pickled herring in it.

Hamm's by itself --> okay
Pickled Herring by itself --> good
Cental Minnesota Martini --> TERRIBLE

Like Scotch...a very acquired taste!!!  I am working on a new recipe for the Tommie Game!

Story to follow...

Amen to that!

Mongo Warrior,

My statement about the complexity of the GAC offense was based on all the crap hanging off OC Brown's body in the photo from ROR.....Can you honestly tell me that having that many "supposed" offensive options/plays (two wrist bands and the full NFL OC play sheet) isn't too complex?  Clearly SJU was prepared and ready for the vaunted no-huddle, but my sources tell me that GAC executed poorly and appeared confused.  That is either poor coaching or too complex a system...You Pick 8)

One of the things John and the rest of the SJU staff do as well as anybody is keeping the game simple and executing like hell.  Even the Offensive Genius Kehres at Mount Union runs a very limited number of plays if you examined it closely.

Redtooth,

Remember the complexity of PLU's offense under Frosty?  They ran more plays out of more formations than anyone should be able to remember.  I think they had more screen plays than we had total plays!

bennie,

I just got to get a state job.  15 hours a month.  Thats a good deal.

Duff,

You are right about the PLU offense....big difference they knew how to run them  We also did our fair share of borrowing the effective ones  They were the best screen team ever.  I loved their reaction in 00 and 01 when we came out in their formations and ran their plays.....Frosty and Scott are/were pure class.

I keep going back to the photo that has been posted....it looks like he stole every truck stop diner menu between Glendive and St. Peter, mashed up the options and confused the sh1t out of everyone.

I just consulted my O-Line "playbook" from my years at SJU.  Oh wait, it is just a sheet of paper (writing only on one side)  and on most plays it says "GOB and ROB (Gap-On-On Backer & Reach-On_Backer)..I personally like the backside responsibilities on runs  "Chop His A$$"

Keep it simple folks.  I seem to remember playing UST in 93 and we ran the same play about 10 times in a row each time from a different formation!!

I remember when I learned a little o-line my sophomore year.  Redtooth handed me the "playbook" and I thought, "What in the hell is this and what does it mean???"

Just a little more complicated than "Tackle the guy with the ball"
