If there's a football term that you can throw away

PSUFAN · Post by **PSUFAN** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 7:13 pm

It's "Florida Speed" - or "Southern Speed". I think the days in which southern teams have a distinct speed advantage are basically over and done with. Everyone has the athletes, thanks to roster limitations and a few decades of emphasis on speed from coast to coast.

IMO, things have shifted to tactical football...great assistants with good scheme ideas are the building blocks of effective football teams now.

Of course, I did hear Corso mention "Florida Speed" the other day, in saying that UF deserved the MNC game berth over UM. Apparently the berth is deserved simply because UF is rostered with Florida players.

Bah...Corso is a penis.

I will have to agree. The Big 3 doesnt get every big time athlete in the state like they used to. They still get a fair amount, but schools like Mich, tOSU, Oklahoma and PSU have caught up. Also, Texas and Cali have tons of speed guys and a lot of midwest and Northern school are getting these kids too.

Hmm, when I saw the title of "football term to throw away" I expected something more like:

Iowa's NFL prospects

Cal's National Championship Run

Big Game coach Charlie Weiss

Miami's sportsmanship

My pet peeve is using "defense" as a verb.

And if ever Bob Costas starts calling ND games, I'll crash this server posting shit he needs to stop saying.

This critical 4th quarter drive is reminiscent of one the great Knute Rockne faced. It was 4th down, with 3 and a half to go. The national championship, and ideed the very legacy of the great Notre Dame football program were at stake. The great Knute Rockne knew only a touchdown would do. They lined up in an I formation, much in the way the other great, great coaches of the era. And then, in the greatest moment in sports history, they converted that 4th down, on that fateful day in November, unlike the 1927 New York Yankess, who reached their pinnacle in October...ad naseum."

I'm ready to puke just thinking about it.

I think he is using WVU for leverage. WVU officials went on record this morning as saying that they are going to put millions of dollars into upgrading the facilities.

From what I hear, the best (or at least the most) speed comes from the Bakersfield area.

Of course Dins might have something to say about that.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 8:09 pm

Or when they interview the coach before the gamme, first, the "what do you need to do to win the game, coach?"

Stupid enough, but the reply is usually "well, we need to play good football."

You spent all week reviewing film with the coaching staff, and that's what you came up with?

Does the QB's wristband read "first play -- play good football."

Facing a crucial 3rd down conversion, the QB calls timeout, and the coach tells him "well son, let's just line up in the Good Football Formation, and then let's play some good football."

Yeah, thanks for that coach -- us armchair quarterbacks didn't realize you needed to play good football to win.

Samie Parker is one of, if not the fastest CFB player in recent years. He's from Long Beach, CA. Jordan Kent, also a track star, is from Eugene.

I don't really see where one region has cornered the market on speed...but we can certainly argue about it anyway.

Bwah

Stupid questions usually deserve stupid answers, ala, any sideline "reporter" interviewing the coach of the team that's "down" or is losing at half:

"Coach, what do you need to do to turn things around in the second half?"

Coach, always in a hurry: "We just have to play better defense and start moving the ball on offense."

Sideline skank: "Thanks, coach!"

Another thing that runs me the wrong way is when after a heartbreaking loss, they jam a mic into a coach/player's face and ask, "Can you put into words what you are felling right?"

I'm still waiting for the "go fuck yourself" response.

-- Everything that's new being "the best ______ ever."

-- When Dins said "rough shot," I'm going to assume that he dislikes it because people say "rough shot" and not what it actually IS, which is "roughshod." If he was wrong, then HE annoys me. If not, then he STILL annoys me, but he was also able to motivate me into a post about what he wrote.

-- Bandwagon fans.

-- People that think that going to every game makes someone a fan. Alternately, people who think that someone who has never been to a game can't be a fan.

-- People who refuse to see their team's deficiencies. I guess that most of those people are just blind "fans," and not actual fans anyway. Being a homer isn't the same thing as being a fan.

-- And, as for an actual football term... "Game Speed." You're either fast or you're not.

That shit got disspelled in 94 and again in 95. ESPN licked Spurriers nuts for a month before that laugher. Corso was at Gator practices doing that fucking gator chomp thing with FLA players.

Midway second quarter the announcers sounded shell shocked and at halftime the ESPN guys looked like they just got punched in the face and were in such disbelief they were stuttering. SI couldn't wait to get to college basketball coverage after that one.

Bitches.

This brings me to the next term that should be thrown out, but for a particular reason.

"You can't run east & west on this defense!"

This comment normally doesn't bother me too much. But what if the game's being played at the Coliseum? Or the Orange Bowl? Then you have to run east and west on that defense. Sorry, just some directional perspective.
