Origin of your screenname (merged)

Apache said:
The origin of my screen name came when I was the head coach of a high school team. We scouted a team that ran an slot with a tight end on one side instead of the regular wing t look. As we scouted, I always liked to run one or two things they did against themselves to see if they planned for themselves.

So at a coaching meeting we planned to put that in against them one saturday morning. On the way home it dawned on me we could run the formation on both sides and run 95% of our offense without a wing side key. Thus the Apache formation was born. Ace was our one back formation and so using the team nickname, "Indians" as the basis, I called the formation Apache.

I thought I had invented the formation until a close friend who also helped us as a coach, scout and confidante (Frank Kremblas) burst my bubble. He brought a film in from the 50's and showed me that Iowa ran that formation.


If this comes out the formation would look like this:
Both ends are down in a 3 point stance. B's are in a two and to make it work, the back go in motion a split second before the snap. Or you can used long motion to implement overload passes.

You can gun the trap, buck sweep, bootleg, the jet series, the entire belly series, and quad receiver passes out of this.

This is kind of like the spread-tight formation.

Wing t hybrid offense.

This does not come out right when I post. The Qb is behind the center. The halfbacks are slots with the Tight Ends down in three point stances about 3-4 yards from the tackles.

I know I answered this a long time ago, but I guess that thread wasn't part of the merge...

I used the moniker BigBucks on Bucknuts when I first started posting. Apart from the play on words it is sarcastically self-effacing (no Big Bucks here). I changed it to DaddyBigBucks when my son (now 6) was born. It is the only handle I've used on BP.

My screenname ain't that great, just something I came up with to use in high school for AIM. Was supposed to be "you lookin' at me" but I've had to explain it to too many people, so it was a little too vague I fear

Your username looks like 'ukulele' at a quick glance, so that is the name I think for you. :p

@ Best Buckeye - not to mention ironic! :biggrin:

Play on words: muffler draggin'. When I first started posting on internet forums in 2001, I just pictured this beat up p.o.s. car going down the street with sparks flying off of dragging muffler. Oddly enough, my first forum was christianforums.com. I've since left that at and the religion, but the name lives on.

I must have been 10 years old and saw a bumper sticker - it read "champions bleed scarlet and grey" - I got my mom to buy it and slapped it on my bike.

My orginal username here was just my last name, ended up changing it to a more "buckeye" username. This was the first thing that came to mind.

I started out as MuckFich06 because I joined the site just before the epic 2006 edition of The Game. I had never been on a web forum before and was was actually searching for some info on the famous Greg Frey Iowa game when I happened upon BP.

Now, I can think Buck Nutty for my new name. :biggrin:

I was being a smartass in citing the name of an old Beastie Boys EP:

It was after the Purdue loss, so I decided to stick with the name until the Bucks lose again.. Long live CookyPuss!
