OP is a weirdo but he's right. Football has taken a turn for the worse over the past 5 years. It was fine when these offensive schemes were on the fringe with Mike Leach, etc., but it sucks that it's becoming the norm. What makes football so fun to watch to me is that it's a balance between strategy/innovation and lining up and hitting the other guy in the mouth. How American is that?

Now it's turning into pussy shite in which teams with inferior resources and talent can not only mask it, but dominate teams with superior talent due to the exploitation of an inherent advantage with substitutions. I'm singling out A&M here, but they have no reason to base their philosophy around that because they have the resources to be a badass SEC football program, as douchey as that sounds. And I don't mean that as a troll. It's a shame.

It sounds cool, not douchey.

It's wrong, as given our home state talent the alternative to using our offense is to end up like Texas last year.

But it sounds cool.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The best offense out there is a pro style scheme managed by elite D-1 talent at the skill positions. Only a few teams are able to put that kind of team on the field every year. The teams with fewer resources have taken to the HUNH air raid BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM BETTER FOOTBALL TEAMS. Competition is improved. Upsets are more common.

I swear, some of you are straight up communists. Little teams play a different scheme, start winning games, and you all whine that it's unfair because they won't play 1954 ball with you. Pathetic.
