A Few Good Men (the rewrite)
DBF = Disgruntled Buckeye Fan
Tress: "You want playcalling?"
DBF: "I think I'm entitled"
Tress: "You want playcalling?"
DBF: "I want a wide-open offense!"
Tress: "You can't handle a wide-open offense!"
Tress: "Son, we play in a conference that has defenses, and those defenses have to be blocked by men with quickness. Who's gonna do it? You? You? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Clarett and you curse the playcalling. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that conservative playcalling, while tragic, prevents turnovers. And my playcalling, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, prevents turnovers. You don't want a wide-open offense because, deep down in places you don't talk about at tailgating, you want me on that sideline - you NEED me on that sideline. We use words like Discipline, Poise, and Decision-Making. We use these words as the backbone of a season spent accomplishing something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very undefeated season I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "Thank You" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a clipboard and stand on the sideline. Either way. I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to."
DBF: "Did you call those Power Iso plays?"
Tress: "I did my job!"
DBF: "Did you call those Power Iso plays?!"
Tress: "YOU'RE G** **** RIGHT I DID!"
GO BUCKS!!!
READY!
I got the chips, fridge is stocked, sending the family away tomorrow so I can have the place to myself. (It's all I ask - once/year.)
Drive, drive on down the field....men of the scarlet and gray....
Fight the team across the field....
Yep...hope we paste 'em! Catch you for cyber-tailgate party right here tomorrow at gametime!
CONGRATULATIONS, BUCKEYES!
