How the hell are people that are drinking a bottle of celebratory Crown going to keep up with whatever the hell this format is?
Chizik said the quarterbacks won't be assigned to any one team, and will be randomly inserted into the lineup.
The A-Day game will feature 12-minute quarters -- and the first two will be different than the third and fourth.
The first half will be like a real game: One offensive unit representing the Blue team, the other representing the White team. The second half will be just one offensive unit. One quarter the offense will score for the Blue team. The other quarter the offense will score for the White team.
-
Serious question, why even keep score at this point? You're QB aren't on any particular team and you're just putting them in the game at free will anywhere you want? I don't get it, Big Dan.
(It's possible that this thread is about to become another 'O Brother Where Art Thou thread.

I don't find that confusing. You sure you only broke your back? Have they checked for a concussion as well? Or were you wearing your "Bear is back" shirt when you arrived at the hospital (in which case they just expected and accepted stupidity).
Seriously, I don't think it's a big deal that a QB stay on a certain team. Each "unit" is still trying to beat the opposing unit. I'm sure it's so that you don't constantly have 1's vs 2's, but so that it's mixed up from time to time. Maybe they start with the first team offense against the second team defense, but then want to see Bynes, Freeman, Stevens, etc try to stop the first team running game. Or maybe they want to see how Gayden and Mosley do against Carter and Fairley.
For the second half, it looks like they want to keep all of the offense together and run them against two different defensive units.
My guess is that they are just doing whatever they can to give themselves flexibility to get the match-ups they want to see for evaluation. Shocker that they didn't consider bammer trolls when deciding the format. :poke:

At least then it would be worth reading...
To paraphrase...
Hey, bammer, you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!

Thank you boys for throwin' in that fricassee. I'm a man of large appetite, and even with lunch under my belt, I was feelin' a mite peckish.

That theme has been done. I started a new one... figure it out...
Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live ... is it a live rooster? We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove, and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.

Jade, twist it any way you want, keeping score while not having understood teams is pointless. Letting players play for both teams makes keeping score a bit mongoloidish.
Guess in the end it's not for our enjoyment, it's just for the match ups.... but then why keep score?
-
It's like he knew what I was gonna throw.
He did, because I told him.

It's not pointless just because you, or anyone doesn't get it. Think of it as offensive players verses defensive players. It is Auburn verses Auburn no matter how you divide it up. So keeping score at all in any spring game could be considered mongoloidis
In basketball practice growing up, we would be playing blue vs white, five on five. In the middle of the scrimmage out coach would stop and tell two players to reverse their practice jersey's and switch teams. This would happen several times throughout the game. At no time did any of us get confused. At no time did we think, "well now the scoring doesn't make any sense because Jimmy is on the white team and he just scored 8 points for the blue team".
It made sense that the coach wanted to see different things. The scoring was kept just to keep it realistic in a "game" sense, regardless of the rosters.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I just got lesson number one: don't think; it can only hurt the ball club.

Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.

Come on, Wench, think of something clever to say, huh? Something full of magic, religion, bullshit. Come on, dazzle me.

Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

How come you don't like me?
-
Do you want to know what I believe in? I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

This may come as a total shock to you, but Auburn folks can still enjoy A-day without declaring a winner. Just so you know...no records are at stake, no SEC standings, no BCS standings. It's a day that the fans get to come watch a practice, but make no mistake, it is a practice, and the first priority is to get the team something that resembles game speed pratice reps. The burnng question in my mind is: "Why the fuck do you appear to be so damend concerned about it?" Hell, I'd think you were a fucking idiot for sweating this over bammer's A-day...the fact that you're here concerned about Auburn's A-Day scoring system, or who is on what side, is baffling as hell!

I think you've hit on something here. With no straight scoring and clearly defined teams, how can Alabama win the Spring Game Nation Title? Genius FR4AU, you see right through him to the core of his bammer-ness. Well done.
-
Well, my triple-A contract gets bought out so I can hold some flavor-of-the-month's dick in the bus leagues, is that it? Well, fuck this fucking game!
I quit, all right? I fucking quit.
Who we play tomorrow?

At Auburn's A-day they'll run some plays, Auburn folks will Oooo, and Ahhhh at the ones that gain big yards, and marvel at any big hits, then go home and ponder the possibilities of the 2010 season. At bammer's A-day, they'll be wondering how Tom Roberts will narrarate this A-Day game on a future episode of Bammer's greatest games, while many will flog their cocks in the bathrooms of Bryant-Denny over having 90K plus in attendance at a spring srcimmage and it won't even cross their minds that it's that same line of thinking that brought those drunk fools out to the Tuscaloser Air Strip to greet Saban's arrival, including the blonde bombed bimbo that ran her tounge down Saban's gullet just prior to her DUI arrest.

I fixed a couple of things for you.
-
I really, really, really want this Florence kid. Seriously, he is a special athlete. My brother in law coaches against him in his region. He has said Bama lock for a while. To see his interest in Auburn is really encouraging. The dude is bad azz all the way around.
-
Come on, Wench, think of something clever to say, huh? Something full of magic, religion, bullshit. Come on, dazzle me.
Making love is like hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250... not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle.
-
Ok, time out. I believe I'm going to have to throw a flag on Ms. Ziemba for a false start. Her first hijacking attempt was a Bad News Bears quote, then she went with Bull Durham.

I'm glad I'm not the only one around here paying attention

another player was in attendance....
Damien Williams WR (Former Springdale HS/Arkansas/USC) he was there hanging out with his former HS coach...Coach Malzahn.

and for the kill.....

The original theme was simply Insults from Sports Movies in general, but no one was smart enough to pick up on that, so I stuck with Bull Durham...
Bitch, don't be calling me Ziemba. I'll chop block that flag right up your ass.
