The Harsin Offense: Making Complexity a Single-edged Sword
We've heard a lot in the practice reports about how Harsin's strategies include installing a large variety of formations and looks that put too much on tape for opposing coordinators to be able to prepare for in a game week. Belichick uses this practice at New England on a regular basis and loves...
Mack’s New Strategery: Offense
And we're back. Personally I've been navigating a move within Austin, an engagement to the future Mrs. Nickel Rover, and the end of my laptop's pathetic life. Mack has been similarly busy as we are now replacing virtually the entire staff and have few of the same faces that we saw on the sidelines...

Success With Hyperlinking Gets Parental

2011 BCS National Title Game: Oregon Ducks vs Auburn Tigers Open Thread
Here we are - the last game of the 2010 college football season. Just a couple minutes ago, I started breathing again. About a half hour ago, I thought I'd lost a very large file server at one of my customer sites. "Here it is, the biggest game of the year, and I'm going to be re-installing...
Corn Flakes Hopes Your Wedding Is This Blessed
We haven't done one in these in a while. Jlew, master of Corn Flakes, is busy going through some life-changing events right now, so I thought I'd kick one out this morning. Realignment means revision for fight song Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president of the Alumni Association, said as part...
Completely Unrelated: The Ten Books That Have Influenced Me the Most
Look, it’s the offseason. I can’t tell you anything about spring practice you don’t already know from reading David Hale, and the Diamond Dogs are driving me crazy. Heck, the softball team lost last night, too. In short, it’s time for something completely unrelated. Recently, Smart Football’s...
Smart Football on the MSU Winner

Understanding Nebraska's Offensive Philosophy With Smart Football (Or "We Take What We Want" Revisited under Shawn Watson)

A couple weeks ago, Sipple used the same phraseology in an article about Shawn...
Is It Responsible of Us to Care So Much About College Football in Times of Economic Crisis?
