My brother Les is a huge Alabama fan, loves to travel and watch the games, has the means to do so. To kick off this year's season he came to Atlanta and was kind enough to share a ticket. Alabama was playing the Duke Blue Devils.
The Blue Devils are led by Peyton Manning's mentor David Cutcliffe, a man that I consider to be an arrogant jerk-off, good coach but a real prick. For the past few years he has enjoyed making fun the Georgia Tech triple option offense, comparing it to a high school offense. There really is no great science in any football offense, only a heard mentality of coaches that intimidated by what they cannot control. Admittedly Coach Cutcliffe has backed up his mouth and had good success against my alma mater.
Circling back to the game, after about a quarter, Alabama got is act together and started beating the feathers out of Duke. In the second half, in an attempt to eat up clock and slow the game down, he started running triple option plays, and fairly often. Duke even got penalized for some cut blocks.
I enjoy the triple option offense, run well it is more exciting than and pass happy spread scheme.
The last point I want to make is that the band for Duke has taken on the persona of their head coach in their arrogance. Pictured above the Duke band taunting Alabama fans before the game. Both are assholes and deserve the David Cup.
