Tis the season to be stockpiling couches. That is if there were any other worthy teams on the schedule. I pray every night for another SEC team for my Eers to spank!!
High 5s all around!!!

OK I think I get it. Sprint likes WVU?
I’ll never buy another Sprint product again…
When did WVU get the exclusive couch burning rights again? That’s like saying, “When the Gators win, Gator Nation is known for drinking beer.” Fucking lame, Eer.
Envy is an action verb.
“I pray every night for another SEC team for my Eers to spank!”
And there is your daily reference to the 38-35 UGA “spanking”/WVU win by AngryEer.
They have cellular telephones in West Virginia?
No…
IS UGA in the SEC? Yes? I bet you money that Herban Meyer wants nothing to do with the Mack Daddy of the Spread Option, Rich Rodriguez
“Mack Daddy of the Spread Option”, huh?
Then why was Rich Rod visiting Florida in the off season rather than the other way around?
They were spying on Florida like they did Marshall. Or recruiting more quality people like Noel Devine. I saw this on some blog I can’t recall the source.
Morgantown — City of Dreams (and Arson).
The “Mack Daddy of the Spread Option” huh? Way to take us back to 1992 Eer. Morgantown must really be caught in a time warp. I guess that’s why they’re stealing “dem ther computer thingys” and trying to sell them. BTW,an SEC team won the National Championship that year (Alabama). Remind me again when the last time a Big East team not named Miami (now happily an ACC school) won a national title?
it is well documented that meyer learned his offense from the Rod. he was probably poaching good citizens off of the gator team….oops there aren’t any.
Did you see that our problem kids are suspended indef? not like the 1st half of the WKU game. I guess buying weed isn’t that big of a deal in Florida?
in fact, meyer reminds me of Jerry Reed in the movie the Waterboy. And Coach Rod is fonzie. Remember Jerry Reeed has the spiral notebook of plays that he stole from fonzie?
“It is well documented that meyer learned his offense from the Rod.”
WRONG again, AngryEer.
Meyer created his version of the spread option based on a fusion of the different offensive staffs that he coached on/under (Earl Bruce at OSU, Sonny Lubick at Colo. St., Holtz at ND, etc.) Rodriguez had NOTHING to do with it until AFTER Meyer became coach at UF and they talked about their respective offenses.
Know what the fuck you’re talking about for once at least!
(And you got served by gatorhippy at #9.)
I think Angry might be right on this one LL. I have seen the link from Craig James on this (I will keep looking):
Not being a A-H or anything but Urban Meyer is not the father of the Spread Offense, Rich Rodriguez is. ESPN would like him to be but Craig James told the truth earlier this year. I am shocked ESPN did not fire him for saying something positive about WVU and its Coach.

Doesn’t matter who created the Spread. Meyer was smart enough to keep Charlie Strong as D Coordinator. His defenses are always tough and it’s a shame he’s not a head coach somewhere. Until you guys tighten up that “vaunted” 3-3-5 defense, you’re still screwed.
Co-Cordinator
It does matter, WVU is constantly getting hosed by the “big boy” schools. Herban Fucking Meyer learned the offense from Coach Rod.
Fonzi was also in slippers speaking on a dead phone in that movie.
The water sucks.
It really really sucks.
Angry,
As a fellow WVU fan I implore you to stop sticking up for us. Allow our players to continue to do the talking on the field. If you are looking for the Gators (or anyone else) to admit that WVU is #1…I have a feeling you will fail. No good fan from any team will give another team too much props.
Seems like you guys need a history lesson…
First lets define it…
The “spread” offense simply refers to the manner in which the receivers ine up in different sets of three, four and five with normally wider gaps across the line as the the OL gets set…
Different versions are involved in the modern version of football…
Run heavy, Pass heavy or Balanced versions are seen depending on the current personnel and their strengths and weaknesses as a team…
Now on to the originator…
Glenn Ellis is credited with founding the “spread” offense all the way back in the late Fifties known as the Run and Shoot (I’m sure you guys have heard of that)…
Over the years it has been modified and specialized in different version as listed above…
Mouse Davis in the Sixties was the first to take Ellis’s philosophy and apply a pass heavy playbook to it…
In reality…
The Rich Rod version is little more than a triple option offense using wide splits at the line…
Meyer’s version is more of a balanced attack relying on a dual threat QB to cause confusion in the defense…
And a more pure passing version of the “spread” can be seen being run by Mike Leach at Texas Tech…
But if you are going to give credit where credit is due…
Then Glen Ellis is your man…
All the rest simply took his idea and applied it to work with their personnel…
I believe what Angry is referring to is the READ OPTION out of a Shotgun formation. Many Head Coaches and OC’s have visited WVU the last few years to better understand it. The quarterback reads the defensive end on the side in which the play is designed to go. If the defensive end is playing inside the tackle after the snap of the ball, the quarterback hands the ball of to the running back. If the defensive end is playing outside of the tackle after the snap, the quarterback keeps the ball and runs counter to the blocking scheme.
Rich did not invent the spread. However, he has certainly tweaked it.
Here is a history on it, before you people kill each other
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offensive_philosophy_(American_football)
I will find the James quote. Pittswallows, I wish I could stop the good fight, but I am sticking it to them. And they know it too!!!
This Gator was very relieved when Rod turned down the Alabama job. Nobody currently runs the spread better than Rod. Hope he stays at WVU for many years to come. We also hope to be running the spread as well as WVU very soon. Tebow and the gang can’t wait to give the Mountaineers a little competition on making that spread run like clockwork. Love watching WVU games. Catch every one I can. Good luck in ‘07.
People have got to understand that Rod’s spread is like rocket science to the banjo pickers in WVU. I mean come on….they’re not hard to impress. Winning games in the new Big East is hardly impressive. Oh yeah, We are Marshall!
Rodriguez has been considered the pioneer/creator of the spread option offense, while at Glenville State, which he has refined through his stops at Tulane, Clemson and now West Virginia. This strategy features frequent use of the shotgun formation where Rodriguez uses his quarterback, Pat White, and Running back, Steve Slaton.

(Thanks for the research TrojanEer)
Penn State, Texas, West Virginia, Ohio State, they all run a spread offense,” Meyer said. “Ohio State, you can call it whatever you want to call it, but that’s a spread offense.
“You can see that kind of taking over. It has been that way for a while. Rich Rodriguez started it.”
Rodriguez, who coaches West Virginia, tinkered with the system as offensive coordinator at Tulane and Clemson before taking over the Mountaineers in 2001. Last year, with quarterback Pat White, it produced the best rushing offense in the country.

Hey Angryeer: Why do you pretend to be a mountaineer fan. Lurk on BGN for something to post on LWS. Then field questions/comments on LWS as a WVU/BE fan in order to simply stimulate interest in your blog by enraging SEC Fans?
What’s BGN?
AngryEer,
I suggest you do some research on the spread offense philosophy rather than just looking for quotes from current publications…
The “spread” philosophy has been around longer than Rich has been alive and was run in an option minded format long before he began coaching…
BGN is the WVU scout board that I post on. It is heavily infiltrated with marshall and pitt fans, which #29 appears to be one of, a fan of those schools. They are both jealous and envious of the Eers succcess
dude why are you arguing over the spread option… The best offense is a simple run it up the middle I-Formation. Arkansas does it better than anybody. That and the Wildcat/WildHog Single Wing Formation where DMac takes the snaps… best offense ever designed by a high school coach turned OC.
The spread option is for schools with wide recievers that run proper routes and QBs who can pass. Nobody wants that stuff.
Are you people serious? Maybe it’s just that you’re all trapped in the confines of WV, but in the real world it’s pretty well known that you’re lucky to be considered in the top 25…you do realize your schedule is a joke, no? Planning on beating South Florida this year I guess?
