My list of demands.

Posted: 1/3/2011 2:50:21 AM

My list is long, violent and intractible. Here's a start:

We play in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis next year. That's a good one and will be a good step up.
We win next year's Liberty Bowl.
We junk the stupid pistol as a base offense and go often to two back sets--giving our o-line a chance to show off their power running stuff and enhancing our passing.
We actually have a pass rush from our front four.
We stop giving it up on defense on third and long.
We do something to get better receiver coverage--am I right in thinking we go zone too much? If so, find/develop some man-man cover guys.
One or two guy's show the Patrick Tafua style zest for it leadership on the field.
Show some deftness in ball-handling. In the middle of this past season we showed good ball-faking. Then we went like everyone else with the arms extended hand-offs, allowing the opposition to clearly see where the ball was going.

Start there.

My list starts by rescheduling so that Ohio State,USC, Notre Dame and Nebraska plays us at Peden next year.
Popcorn and game tickets are free.
They increase the capacity at Peden to 200,000 over the summer.
OU flies any fan who lives further than than 500 miles to the game for free.
That Boone Pickens becomes a Bobcat fan.
An Interstate is built thru Athens and an international airport is built there as well.
I'll get back on my major demands later.

Aerosmith on Victory Hill to play when the 110 doesn't, as well as a post game concert.

Occasional pump fake by the qb.
Roll the pocket out occasionally.
Hurry-up offense occasionally (you knew that was coming)--see Oregon's tempo.

Hurry-up offense is just a style thing. It's not inherently better than a non-hurry-up.

And we beat each of them by at least 56-0.

The MAC and the SEC trade bowl revenues.
OU gets nothing but 4- and 5-star recruits at all positions.
OU gets its own TV package with CBS and they hire Pat Summerall (in his heyday) and John Madden for the booth.

We will get by.

I'll settle for playing a 6-6 OSU team in the LCPB next year and winning the game! Sorry I don't have the delusions of grandeur that the rest of you have!

I demand that our offensive line prove 100% adept at blocking for extra points and field goals in contrast to whatever that was??? this past season.
I demand that we use passing to the tight end(s) as a cornerstone part of our offense, instead of just an after thought.

Dragon--hurry up offense is to make the defense react, to gain an advantage mentally and/or physically for at least a brief period. Would you deny that the fast break or full or 3/4 court pressure can be effective at points in hoops? Same concept. We are so reactive, so slow to get the ball in motion on offense. Like a pitcher who never changes speeds or location or curvature--it don't work in the big leagues.

Hurry-up creates problems for the defense, but, for it you; recruit differently, condition differently and strength train differently. Did anyone see Williamson gasping for air during the bowl? To combat it you need depth and players ready to sub in like a hockey team changing lines. Would I like to see Ohio go that route. No, I don't want to see Ohio get into the musical scholarship game it would take to find the right players.

I want an outdoor version of The Greenery to be re-opened in the north endzone,complete with puke and bleach smelling dance floor and bad late 80s/early 90s music, and each football ticket gets you two complementary Brainstompers.

No, of course I wouldn't deny that. But run-and-gun basketball is also just a style and not inherently better than other types of styles. If anything, it's worse.

I'd take running out of the I once in a while with a lead back.

I'd like to use the tight end deep more often.

I would really like to see an overpowering front four so we could put pressure on the QB without using the linebackers.

Oh, I know I'll get all kinds of crap for this but the above describes the osu buckeyes vs. Arkansas in the first half.

I demand significant improvement in performance at a significant number of positions, a thing we seemed to lack last season.
I demand that our qb be schooled in throwing the ball away on non-critical downs when there's nothing there and/or he's under a great rush.
I demand that we discover the "screen pass."

Dear the love who is not reading this thread: as you can see from my posts here, there is always either fabulous (and I agree with me) content to my posts or the required modicum of wry humor in my posts.

I do appreciate the serious responses here. And those that recognize the compelling nature of my demands with hyperbole and/or glee.

On a Tuesday on a rainy November night when Ohio is playing a 2-8 conference foe televised on ESPN2; what would the stands where the band sits and the cameras focus look like on the tube?

Why don't you like the 110 in the stands where they have been located the past two seasons? In the end zone their non-half time playing sound is completely lost to everyone.

Any way, what would the two elites that visit the end zone for drinks and eats do if they shifted the band back to that location?

1. If TV forces us to put the band in the stands so that it looks like people are at the game, we shouldn't be on TV.

2. I disagree 100%. You can't hear the band very well at all if you sit in the general admission seats on the student side. I never had that problem at all when the band was in the end zone. Cat Scratch Fever sounded like Cat Scratch Fever. Now, it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher.

3. Watch the dance team, Ohio's most under-utilized recruiting tool.
