Snap count

It seems like we take a pretty lazy approach to the snap count. Kwadra or Keon just lines up the team and then claps his hands together when it's time to go. JV ball had more trickery than that. Has anyone else noticed this?

Re: Snap count

I've noticed others doing it as well.  And of course they do the hand clap 4 seconds in and no one moves...on either team.  And then they look back to the sidelines for 15 seconds and then finally clap again with 3 seconds remaining.  And no one in the entire damn stadium is surprised!

Brilliant!!

Idiot. When you play in loud, hostile environments like North Texas or UAB, you sometimes have to alter your normal snap count and go with simple hand signals. You can't imagine what it's like to have 2,000 rice fans rustling their cheetos bags while they chat on cell phones.

Imagine how loud it is for opposing QBs coming into the Rock having to contend with the constant droning of Jackson Walker's voice doing commercials and thanking the Circle of Champions. It gets loudest when there's the resonating effect of dozens of men telling younger fans in front of them to "sit down in front" echoing off of empty chairback plastic.

Hmm. I hadn't looked at it quite like that. I guess the full extent of the armageddon that is CUSA football isn't quite evident when I'm watching on MySpace.

Now, that's some funny chit right there.  Well done, Humper.

It has gotten so bad that there isn't enough cover to pour whiskey in a damned drink while watching the game much less cover the sound of glass on concrete when you sit the bottle down.

Re: Snap count

UNCC handles the snap the same way. I'm skeptical.

Function of common core math. QB says go on 2. RB may be be feeling that 1 is 2. LT may be feeling that 3 is 2.

Clears up the confusion.
