Are we still running the Pistol?

Was this a reference to the Camus play "the just assassins"?

I wish it were, but I don't have that much culture.

It's a play about a group of dudes that feel bad about throwing a bomb. Written in french...

Since it's the 1905 Russian Revolution, it would have been a handy reference.

I didn't know there was a 1905 russian revolution so you have that on me.

The replies to this thread are fantastic. +1 to all for your history & theatre references.

I hereby nominate this thread for "CF Thread of the Month"...yet I will admit I'm secretly hoping the "AISOLHG" Spider-Man thread takes home the honor.

I''m just hoping our OC gets pistol whipped just before the next game and is unavailable for duty.

If we are running the pistol, we are playing like the Pistol Annies:

We don't run the Pistol, we run the Pisspoor.

I know nothing about X's and O's, but I felt like all I heard about in August was how the pistol was going to revolutionize the offense compared to last year. I still don't really know what it is, but are we still running it? If we are, why isn't it working?

We are running the Courtney Chauchat formation...a variation of the pistol.

It doesn't matter what kind of gun they use, they always shoot themselves in the foot

This is obviously a trick question. We don't run an offense.

[h=2]If not the pistol, maybe the slingshot offense[/h]

Which version of offense do you prefer?

I was listening to the director's comments of Les Miserables. He said that a lot of the revolutions were basically a group provoking riots and hoping that the others around them would join in. I sometimes feel that way about our fb team. Some of the players do their thing hoping the others will join in.

So you are saying we need ISU Football - The Musical?

That would definitely be a tragedy.

Tragedy (Ancient Greek: τραγῳδία, tragōidia, "he-goat-song"[SUP][a][/SUP]) is a form of drama based on human suffering that invokes in its audience an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in the viewing

The twitching and twerking offense. It's actually very offensive.

The tree branch, cuz it looks like the weak branch is gonna break.

The problem with our oline is all those little opposing defensive guys keep jumping around and they are then hard to block for our oline stodgies. If they would just stay in place, we could block much better.

Seriously, I thought our oline looked better than our dline last game.

 

[The_Architect]

I refer to it as The Klobb.
