They would have said that while not in the spirit of the rule, there was nothing against it. His poor little school could then compete with the Goliaths they played. Evidently there was another motive.

Yeah, but then who'd be hailing him as the genius creator of this innovative, exciting, safer offense?

Let's call Jimmy Swaggert and have him make the apology. I love drama!

Terrible strategy...befitting the goal

The petitions are now available. Kurt and Stan are leading the march on FED. A sampling:

"Is there room in America for more than one style of football offense now & in the future?

If you believe the answer is Yes; and your school, your league or your entire section wants to use the A-11 Offense or a Hybrid of it, please read below about how to submit this Dual Petition to your own State Association and the NFHS. Over the last two years, many hard-working coaches & student-athletes across the USA took a chance & tried something innovative in the game of football. Now, A-11 Offense concepts and strategies are here to stay in their true capacity, in a hybrid form, and/or in the new A-11 Camouflage attack for teams wanting to use different ideas."

So, without the A-11 there is only one style of offense. This will come as a complete surprise to every coach I know.

...and, for $149 you too can get my book on the advanced concepts of the A-11. And, I'll throw in a bottle of snake oil.

Just imagine, for only $149 you too can run this advanced offense and receive a bottle of snake oil.

Be the first in your state to run this truly remarkable offense, an offense that revolutionizes the game of football!!

Wow, these guys are truly delusional.

IF YOU WANT EVERYONE TO BE ELIGIBLE, PLAY 8 OR 9 MAN!!! This was meant for the "small schools that can't compete" (well, so were classifications like AA and AAA, etc, but that's obviously too easy to follow and believe).

As they say, if you can't win, then take your ball and go home and play somewhere else so you can have it your way. The big boys don't want you plaing in our yard anyway! Make sure your A-11 leagues give 'participation trophies' as well! (to all 3 teams nationwide)

No, in all or most versions of 8s or 9s the usual eligibility rules apply. You're thinking 6s.

I think he is trying to say that in 8 and 9 man football, numberring requirements for being on the line don't apply.
