REALLY, it's general admission. Lol. Saw a Lobo lady save 3 seats in the lower section of AT&T in the title game for 3 friends who apparently did not want to sit with her. Enjoyed the elbow room.

And I've been on one of the "original" 10-1 staffs. For the 10-1 special most are actually running now, there are a few key coaching points some obviously missed on their youtube videos they watched. Lol. Common misconception that the Special WAS the original ... probably because we haven't really seen the "original" 10-1 since the dinosaur days. Few remember that the original was more 6-1 based (and many see it as an off-shoot of the Gap Eight) ... and I always assumed that combining the two A-Gap players into one was an effort to evolve for flexibility to handle the more common use of multiple WR sets and/or ALWAYS have to ability to keep a Safety in the middle of the field. In the 5-1 front, you are always one combo block (3-to-Mike) from having a "C" Gap play turn into barn burner. The Safety in the middle is always there to prevent that with virtual overlapping area responsibilities with the Mike on non-option plays. The death knoll for the alignment appears to be that if you get the Safety and Mike going the wrong way, it has problems - which is one of the reasons why they are taught to work off of the ball carrier's backside hip. The odd thing out there is the question - did the Special (which I have always attributed to Ford) come from Ryan's Bear or did it pre-date the Bear - or was it a take-off from Arnsparger's/Thompson's Two-Level Theory (published in 1988)? From what I've encountered, that depends on what you read and who you talk to and where you're from. While Butch's is hardly a household name outside of his home state, if you met him you would never forget him - he's that kind of person and that kind of coach. One of the biggest differences that I observe between Arnsparger and the Special is the alignment and assignment of the Free Safety. Under Arnsparger, the job of the FS (with an alignment of 20-25 yards in depth) is Horizontal and primarily pass, while the Special is more Vert/diagonal (from a depth of 8-10) and primarily run. And the "original" is not totally buried - every once in a blue moon, I have found Argyle in it (but not as common as their 4-2 change up). The biggest difference that I have seen in limited study of the Argyle version vs the Celina versions - in situations of 2-backs=2-LBers is the depth of the Backers - Argyle tends to play their LBers a little deeper off the LOS than Celina (maybe because they're dealing with a different type of kid or a different type of athlete they consider relevant to the position). And across the board as change-ups, I see Celina use more slant front and Argyle with more twists ... but they could be just the video that's out there and available for study. While I have seen both play over the years a few times, I have hardly studied these two team's technical side in great detail and depth - so consider the source on that observation. One thing I see from opponent's offenses is this - they see it as "having potential problems with this and this, so I will add this play, this play, and this play to take advantage of it" ... This can often result in a trap, because all of a sudden their kids are running something they are not "natural-ed" at yet and execution suffers. To me, I would rather run my offense and use sets to take advantage of match-ups in my favor. In the end, especially with today's Spread, you either create space and attack that created space, or you use your best to take advantage of their not-so-best. One of my main concerns about it's usage is that I see a few people "dabbling in it" as a change-up to their regular defense. While it does provide a radical change suddenly, from what techniques that I see that have to be employed ... I'm not sure that it's truly sound to do in that manner ... It may be like the Slot-T - if you're gonna do it well, you're either ALL IN or ALL OUT. Ain't much middle ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrenchWarrior09 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The band deciding to play when it's 4th and Goal on the 1 when their team is on offense and then they decide its time to be quite when it's 3rd and 1 and on defense.

Nacwagons Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 1. Too Much Rain-Game against Pine Tree was ruined by the monsoon!!! 2.People who don't live in town constantly trying to tell those of us who do what happens in town. 3.Not being ready for an onside kick when everyone in the state knew it was coming-WH Game:) 4.Band/Cheerleader parents leaving after half time in a game we are winning to make the playoffs. 5.Lack of atmosphere on game day and support for our boys. Had a fun year overall!! Ready for next year already!! Basketball looks like it will take some of my attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HulaKat Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 If you are gonna serve coffee at the concession stand....... sigh....... use a Bunn branded 40 cup coffee pot instead of a Keurig... or however u spell it. When it’s cold you can get $3.00 for a LARGE cup of coffee and get it to them faster that ten minutes. Many times they would reply: “we just didn’t know this many people would wand coffee....”.

Destry Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Coaches who think they have to run the spread because it is the "in" thing. With everyone running it that makes preparation easier. Trying to run the slot t in practice like your next opponent just doesnt work well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
