Official Name "The Package" Contest Update

PrintAfter extensive field research Barking Carnival staffers have determined that the devastating new offensive weapon being honed in closed practices does not, as previously reported, revolve around Colt McCoy wearing pimp robes and a tricorne. We apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience this caused.
Q
I also regret that after protracted internal infighting we have unable to reach consensus regarding a name for our devastating new offensive weapon, and have decided to open it up to you, the people.
We feel that, as part of our community, it's crucial that your voices are heard. This could very well be the slickest offensive innovation since the Brett Robin shovel shuffle dammit shuttle pass. Yes. There is some added pressure because it's quite possible that Mack will adopt whatever terminology we come up with here, but let us worry about that.
We also need your help, since HenryJames and Scipio keep clicking the SOUL MAN BACKFIELD and Death Blossom options repeatedly from different IP addresses.
The contest will close on Friday at beer-thirty. The winner will receive an iPhone that my son dropped and a free subscription to Barking Carnival. Thank you all.

All of it is left up to the imaginations of Brown and offensive coordinator Greg Davis
Whatever it’s called, I already like it.

The Longhorns used it some in Saturday’s closed scrimmage. But Davis didn’t offer details, other than to say that three plays in the package were very successful.
But it worked in practice?!

The Mack Brown “See I told you unknowledgable fan base that Greg Davis knew what he was doing all this time” package.

These packages have to have a distinct, short name. For instance, when my son and two other defensive linemen go in on offense for short yardage situations, the package is called “Heavy”. Other teams call it “Jumbo”.
I would call a two QB set something like “Q-Rich” or “Star”. In honor of and Colt McCoy’s alma mater (Jim Ned Indians) and John’s alma mater (Summit Jaguars), they ought to call it “Red Jag”.

Please line McCoy up in the slot at Colorado, the week before you play us. Thanks in advance.

I can only assume a McKenzie consultant came up with “Q Package” for $175,000.

The we’re double f’d, wing it, veer off to run and shoot ourselves in the foot package.
but cluster flux is brilliant.

How about the “Fantastically Unbelievable and Brilliant Arrangement of Receivers.”
Then they could run plays like the I-FUBAR, Student Body FUBAR, the Run-and-FUBAR, and Fourth-down-and-FUBAR.
Nothing says “Greg Davis-inspired” like the FUBAR.

“The two-quarterback two-yard hitch to Quan Cosby package.”
by BrickHorn on Aug 18, 2008 4:22 PM CDT reply actions
The “Chris Ogabann…Obannn …Chris O in at running back” package.
They’ll never see it coming. They being Florida Atlantic anytime in the first quarter. After that, not so much.

I love the cluster flux. It brings to mind the Flex Bone, the Flux Capacitor, and a Cluster Fuck all at the same time. This is incredibly appropriate.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics; or, the Three-Loss Season Guarantee.
(I kid, I kid…. we might actually lose 4.)

I don’t think we’re going to improve on “custer flux”. Make it so.

Hmmm, the Q package- you know it is going to be kind of embarassingly sad, but no matter how hard you try not to, you’ll start laughing at it whenever it occurs. The Queef package.

Ok, for the perfect name for this chiles-mccoy package, we will combine parts of each name. Chi in chinese means “inner power” you can defeat anything. Now, I am not jewish, but I think “oy” means “yeah, or what the fuck” in hebrew. So we can call it the chioy package. Just bringing a little international influence to the discusion.

I say we call it the “Simple Jack” package. Nah, “cluster flux” is perfect.

If we had three QBs and we were Rice, we might think of something neat like “Cerebrus”. But since we have neither of those attributes, I nominate “The Double-Barrel Package”.
Or we could go Clint Eastwood on everyone and call it “A Fistful of Callers”.

Shit, “Janus”.
Janus has two faces. I forgot about it when I got all g®eeked out about Cerebrus.

Need to put more thought into my comments so I don’t have three in a row.
From Wikipedia:
“Janus was usually depicted with two heads (not faces) looking in opposite directions, and was frequently used to symbolize change and transitions such as the progression of past to future, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, the growing up of young people, and of one universe to another. He was also known as the figure representing time because he could see into the past with one face and into the future with the other. Hence, Janus was worshipped at the beginnings of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. He was representative of the middle ground between barbarity and civilization, rural country and urban cities, and youth and adulthood.”
Change and transition? Growing up of young people? It works for me. Grow up fast, John.

I’m guessing the deeper meaning of Janus would be lost of the Phi Beta Kappas strapping it up every Saturday.

I predict that you are morons.
It’s right in front of you.
It should be called “The Package.”

Based on that article it seems that this is a fancy way of saying that Chiles has been moved to reciever. Lets look at the facts:
McCoy has only played QB in “The Package”
Chiles has only played WR in “The Package”
Another WR says Chiles will make a great WR
…. Sounds to me like Chiles is being duped into switching positions.

In honor of Greg Davis’ self image as chess player/coordinator, I offer the following designations.
Giuoco pianissimo.
Not yet Reti.
The Davis-Kann coordinate offense.
The Colle station system.
Davis’ gambit declined.
The French tickler defense (Oops, I forgot. This is offensive nicknames.)
The NCAA can kiss my ass. I’m calling it Davis’ Indian attack (for games against Florida State only).
The Vienna Sausage game.

Two snaps, three yards and a cloud of fairy dust.

How about the Big Dick Package? (Actually, this wouldn’t be new; according to some in the UT fanbase, GD is going to spring it every year. Just like in a big dick contest, you don’t show the whole thing, only enough to win. Therefore, just run a few basic plays against, e.g., Rice, UTEP, then UNCOVER THE MONSTER AGAINST OU!
Only it never happens.

I think q stands for queef, as in the the “unexpected” happening of someone getting fucked.
