Rename the Razorback

[GimmeTheBall!]

We don't need no stinkin' reference to the University of Arkansas or to Arkansas, Jerra.

if we must use this gimmick, let it be named something with a Cowboy or Texas tie-in

Herewith and with soforth, be a list of alternative names for this unfortunate wrinkle in our offensive arsenal.


1. The Longhorn (To honor Texas the state, not the university who plays a cupcakes schedule all year)
2. The hitch (to honor Tom Landry's offensive line's resetting)
3. The Mildcat (to honor its value as a change of pace gimmick)
4. The 1-back
5. The Coming at You Real Quick
6. The Wildcatter (to honor Jerra's background)
7. The Gimmick (truth in advertising)
8. The Shogun (Tashard as Samurai)
9. The Oh-you-didn't
10. The Quick Draw

Mens, let's make a stand; anything but the Razorback!
Or submit your own name for this um, play.

It's called the Razorback because it came from the Arkansas Razorbacks with David Lee as the offensive coordinator who is now the QB coach for Miami I believe (also our former QB coach).

Also it was originally run by Felix Jones and Darren McFadden, and Jones is on our team. It's not a tribute to Jerry.

Heck with it....call it the Cowboy Formation.

 

[baj1dallas]

Negative. It should and will remained named after the Razorbacks for all eternity.

Woooo Pig Sooie!

Lets just get rid of it altogether. Its a dumb style play that does not fit this team. Its almost like we just decided to do it because a lot of other teams were getting ESPN time because of it.

I'd agree with you if it wasn't... SO SUCCESFFULL!!!!

:bang2:

 

[BigD]

Rename it to TC up the middle.

So successful? Yeah, its been a real staple of the offense.

 

[craig71]

Since Choice is the triggerman they could of named it "The Yellowjacket".

What do you say

 

[BAZ]

They scored with it right? That's success. Teeny tiny success, but success all the same. If it's not hurting and it promotes the running game, then why not? Barber with a draw up the middle will only take you so far.....

 

[DaBoys4Life]

it should be named after something from GT.

Why if Arkansas used it way more than GT? McFadden and Jones rand it alot. Ga Tech did use it some and Choice played the same role he does for us in the formation. BUT Arkansas used it the best, the most, and their former OC brought it to the NFL last year with the Dolphins. Besides Jones is on our team.

I honestly don't see a problem with the name. They could call it whatever they wan't and I wouldn't care, but to say the name should be changed because it promotes Jerry's alma mater is ridiculous.

That's because TC plays the QB in the formation.

The Bailout

Because in stead of worrying about 4 or five offensive possibilites, you only have to stop Choice running...
