Ole Green Guts

Let's clarify. Every program runs s little of this and that. Saying your an air raid team because you throw isn't true. Neither is calling your self an option team because you run the read option. Offensively being an "Air Rid" offense means your going to rely on the Pass as a mainstay. Running man and zone concepts and attacking the areas where the defense isn't. Being a triple option team mean your going to grinds it out with midline, inside veer, outside veer, double dives, rocket toss or some sort of variation of those plays. The two offenses are similar in that they try to reveal and expose a weakness of the defense. The main difference is the talent level and character of the athletes needed. Air Riad you must have a skilled qb (same decision making capability as option) but a gun slinger. Additionally you need several Johnny Quinn's. This offense is for the microwave generation, anyone can get the ball any play. Triple option you need a decision maker. Bruiser at full back and a couple of running backs. Kids who are selfless and willing to do what's best for the team without recognition. The level of talent needed to be successful isn't close. One stark difference is how defense is connected to offense. Air Raid teams rarely have a solid defense. Too many plays on defense etc. Triple option teams fair slightly better. I believe it's more of a program mindset. Air Raid = Pretty Boy. Option = Working Man. One thing I do know is that in today college football you must score and there will be games that you must score a lot. With all that ranting one thing is for sure we will be running the air raid and this is the biggest recruiting class of Littrell tenure. If he doesn't land the talent now. He won't ever!

Where did you find them?

All done coaching. Assistant principal in Crane Tx. More time with my kids. My buddy Bense and his familia in El Paso last night. Ready for the game tonight.

Gonna go to get tickets and take a look around here in a bit.

Where can one get all of the past helmets? There used to be a site.

I'm in the same boat. Want a safe clean place food near buy with reasonable price and maybe a indoor pool. Meeting a buddy and his familia for a long weekend.

Screaming Eagle ....... Do you reside in monohans?

My MEAN GREEN Flag football team dominated the horny toads last night 28-0

#6 airing it out vs Nichols.

Will it be aired on dishnet?

I gotta have one. Where are they sold??

I must say I am VERY impressed!

Anyone want mail a few down to Crane America?

For me it has to be Middle Tennesse Game 2001. 0-5 having just lost to ULM (worst team in the nation) and rumors of Dickey getting fired...... Troups rallied around him to 4 peat as conference champs. 2002 Season was awsome..... were inches from winning 2 more games that season.

Ok co don't loaded it. Now what.

Anyone want to swing by and see if they have white #78 in the bin????

Wonder if they will let letterman have first dibs? I would like to get ahold of my old Jersey if its avalible.

The NMSU game was 2000. We pulled it off and not one person showed. Its a tie for my favorite: 1. Beating NM State for the conference championship in 2002. It was a hard fought game and we came back from a half time deficit. 2. Being 0-5 and beating the 5-0 Muts (who ended 8-3 and didnt get a bowl). What a great day. Worst Loss: Idaho in 2000. They were terrible and I really feel we should have beat them, or loss to USF - Ja'Mel Branch just stepped out of bound in the 4th on what would have been the game winner. we would have finished 8-3, 9-2 if we didnt get screwed in Arizona.

VOTE FOR REID!!!! Thats my son!!!!!

Vote for my Son and "What happens when you rub Green on IT"

Goodness, here we go again.......

Either a coordinator from Oregon, or how about Jon Gruden? He has spent some time there and loves what oregon does.

I would take carthel or leavitt, fran I just dont know about.

If you go back and look at Fran, he didnt do anything with his own players..... he lucked into good classes at UNM, TCU and a semi good one at Bama before running into the end at ATM.

A few years ago I was talking to a college recruiter from Alabama (when Fran was there) and he said that skill kids are a dime a dozen, finding big athletic linemen is whats hard.... I know you probably think I am crazy, but the spread is the equilizer.
