Does the Spread Option Really Matter?
I missed you SEC Homers immensely. Yeah, I have been commenting but I have not written anything worthy in some time. Of course this blog post is about my “bride” WVU Football.
Before I get started, I wanted take time to put in a word for Jai and this blog (Link is on the right side of the page). Vote for LWS and Jai for the CFB Blog of the year, Funniest Blog(Trev Albert Category), the best Photoshop, Best SEC (I think all of the SEC Blogs suck) Blog, and of course the BEST BIG EAST BLOG!!!! HELL YES!!!! HIGH 5!!!
And now on to the best and baddest football team in America: MY EERS!!!
Before falling asleep last night, I was thinking about WVU football as I always do and I got to thinking why do we need or have to stick to the spread option? If anything this limited our ability to attract qualified Offensive Coordinators, like Norm Chow for instance, and recruits of certain abilities not compatible with that offensive style.
I am not saying that my Eers (High 5!!) go to an offense that is three yards and a cloud of dust, but we should have a mix of the spread and more traditional styles of O. I mean that is one of the main reasons we won the Fiesta Bowl (High 5) is that we showed a willingness to operate outside our normal pattern for both running and passing. Four of our biggest plays and five td’s off the top of my head came from the I formation.
One concern of course would be teaching a new system to kids. But honestly, Pat White is such a special talent do you really think it matters that much to run the veer or traditional option from the ACE, or I Formation vs the shotgun? And again I not saying we should get rid of all the spread option-just allow ourselves to use everything to win.
We actually saw some hints of that in the Fiesta Bowl. They showed a little “I” and did a bit more downfield passing. I would imagine spring practice will be very interesting and the Mountaineers will become much more versatile. Every offense has its pluses and minuses. The spread is good for trickery and putting pressure on the defense. The thing I don’t like about it, on the other hand, is that because it requires small linemen there are times when it can be overpowered at the line of scrimmage (which happened against South Florida the past two years and Pitt this year).
Either way, I see another BCS Bowl in next year and I pray that my Eers get another SEC team in that Bowl.
Auburn? Get ready for the EER Buzzsaw!!

BECAUSE YOU NEVER HAVE A GIRL IN YOUR BED
” If anything this limited our ability to attract qualified Offensive Coordinators, like Norm Chow for instance, and recruits of certain abilities not compatible with that offensive style. ”
IT WASN’T RUNNING THE SPREAD THAT PREVENTED BETTER RECRUITING, I THINK IT’S TOOTHLESS BACKWATER RESIDENTS WHO FIND PLEASURE IN LIGHTING COUCHES AND THE OVERTLY RACIST BEHAVIOR OF THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH BEING IN B.F.E.
” And again I not saying we should get rid of all the spread option”
I’M
“The thing I don’t like about it, on the other hand, is that because it requires small linemen ”
IT DOESN’T REQUIRE SMALL LINEMEN, THAT’S ALL THAT YOU CAN RECRUIT BECAUSE THE GOOD ONES GO TO ACTUAL SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES
“Either way, I see another BCS Bowl in next year and I pray that my Eers get another SEC team in that Bowl. ”
NOTHING GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT ABOUT THIS SENTENCE, JUST DELUSIONAL IN NATURE
As a side note, I think you’re post hurts Jai more than helping him. If you want to give him honest props for the work he does, make a seperate post. You don’t have wv piggyback on it like “we’re gonna fund the war!..and add in a trillion dollars for building a bridge to nowhere and alpaca farming”.
Oh, and you’re a douche
This post has to do with the hilarious picture as opposed to the article itself. That being said, I have never understood how a grown-ass man could wear a jersey with another man’s name on the back of it. That is about as pathetic as it gets. Honestly, I think going to the game in a T-shirt like a child would be less emasculating than wearing a damned jersey. To make matters worse, those Mounties had the names of college kids on their backs! And to top it off, the jersey-wearers are the same dipshits that attempt to ridicule those of us who (while still supporting our team, as it most likely happens to be our alma mater) tend to wear nicer clothes so we don’t look like we’re going to the state fair to meet Slim Whitman. Have a little pride and start dressing like a grown man. Roll Tide.
There are grammatical inconsistencies in the last example. I understood the context of the issue and my response was more important
I’m okay with t-shirts as tailgates usually include bbq and alcohol. You’re basically wearing a napkin. It’s, you’re sweaty, probably not sober. That being said, I agree with you on the jersey thing. What’s the cut-off with wearing t-shirts to college football games? Let’s say when you can no longer hook up with coeds of the school
Grown men wearing jerseys…sounds a lot like a Buckeye thing. Just to put it in persepective.
5 has a good point. But let’s face the facts. If you’re a grown man even considering wearing a jersey in public, the chances of you hooking up with a conscious co-ed disappeared a long time ago.
You said this was about the best and baddest football team.
Well you were half right, yes the latter half
“Before falling asleep last night, I was thinking about WVU football as I always do and I got to” let’s see……touching yourself???….firing up your meth-pipe??? having tons more delusional thoughts about a crappy team from a crappy university in a state that is a sucking black hole of suckiness???
Dude, are you really gonna keep this shit up for 6 more months?
Can you at least learn to write in complete sentences and spell and grammar check your writing?
i think i can barking dawg. remember the sugar bowl? pwn3ed
one note song, as always….
What i remember about that sugar bowl is WVU nearly blowing a 28 point lead, to win by 3.
..to win by 3. Think thats all that really matters.
I’d get tired of that ’song’ too if I were a UGA fan.
#1 – a hippy from Florida. You must be the perosn I always see wearing jean shorts and a tye-dyed shirt.
Jmuthaf’nT – nice rant. shit you have a lot of time on your hands.
Another eer song…no national championships, with lots of fugly women.
@ 15
Ditto. They talk way to much smack for a historically average program. And the women/transvestite/ whatever the hell those things are that he posts are hidious.
@ Fellow ‘eer
Yes WVU won the game by 3, but it was not a beat down like you guys would all like to believe. And honestly, at the time, I was glad WVU won the game, because I hate UGa. But now, I really wish things had gone the other way. Because of that game, you dumb hillbillies think that your pussy football team is the greatest thing ever. You guys act like children with a new toy, or bragging about their favorite super hero. It’s pathetic.
and WVU still Pitt’s bitch
right – and USC is still UCLA’s bitch form last year. Upsets dont necessarily constitute being ones bitch – although I can promise you that if I were ever called a dumb hillbilly to my face, I’d be able to show the true meaning.
“although I can promise you that if I were ever called a dumb hillbilly to my face, I’d be able to show the true meaning”…
And exactly how would you accomplish that?
Erring on mathmatical word problems?
Running headlong into a 200 year old oak?
Wearing your drawers on the outside of your pants?
Or possibly just showing your face while attempting to utter something halfway intelligible to those that reside outside of the greater WV gruntspeak region of Appalachia?
@18 Very eloquent.
All the dumb hillbilly would have to do is show me pictures of his hidious mountain tranny girl friend and i would be done for.
Yes WVU is still Pitts bitch. By the way, what is the all time record between the 2 schools anyway? Not sure of the exact numbers but it is well in Pitt’s favor.
I remember you SEC homos dazed and confuseed over the hot and nasty Eer speed.
Auburn is next
and Thank God my fellow EERS don’t wear Jorts or Red Pants.
Auburn is next huh. Would you be willing to bet your shack on that?
tell you what: I’ll gladly put my education, credentials, salary, and even GRE scores against the hippy or joker, with proof, at any time.
I’ll bet this hillbilly has done more in 26 years than either of you will accomplish in your life.
Any of you bricks of doo-doo bother to vote for Jai????? Bunch of cheating free loaders, that is what you are
I will bet my shack against your doublewide. Oh, does your trailer have an above the ground pool?
Hey look, I think I got under his Fellow Qu’eers skin. So tell me, what have you done in 26 years that is so great. I bet you moved out of Mom and Dads at age 25, bought your own 70’s model Gremlin or Pacer, and now work at Pizza Hutt making BANK.
@ Angry
Yes I voted for Jai.
High 5
It’s on Angry. My doublewide against your shack.
The pool? Do you have an above ground pool? That is pivotal
Of course it’s above ground. Only the best man.
Alabama bathtubs.
No man, that would be the lakes.
I am crafting a winner blog post for tomorrow. It will melt your SEC brains
Yeah Eer, I am working on a blog about how your fine university and your ex favorite Sombrero wearing coach have been at odds for a while. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, now everyone knows how dysfunctional your school really is…
O gosh
The veil has been lifted.
He doesn’t have the stones to face West Virginia Hate….
AngryEer, I have been getting West Virginia Hate for a while…

Those fugitives from “Deliverance” will be digging War Eagle shit out of that buzzsaw on September 6 and Buffalo shit will completely seize that thing up a little later.
“Deliverance” was in north Georgia…they wanted to film it in WV, but they couldn’t find natives who could remember lines of more than one sentence, usually consisting of words like “yep”, “you-uns”, “‘hit ain’t right”, and so on. Plus, the WV natives looked too lifelike; the West Coast bastards on the crew were scared to death.
North Georgia – West Virginia = Same thing. Also, since those ridgerunning inbreds know a lot about nose picking and nothing about banjo picking they could never play Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
Back to the jersey faux pas, those Pat White editions have a little bit of a “Shazam” aspect to them.
Once again, Eer is posting more fat chicks with his incoherent ramblings. At least they aren’t chugging down Hamm’s Beer this time…
Pat White has colonic nerve syndrome.
From overstretching the rectal vault?
Joel Joel Joel, always so serious all of the time
I’m not serious all of the time. I am just amazed that you out of all people haven’t responded to any of the posts on the blog. I was just sure that you would spin it more than Fox News taking up for Alberto Gonzalez…
I think you are baiting me, still pissed of at me for not giving you my Major Harris FatHEad
