Petersen's first play from scrimmage vs. Hawaii

You really gotta be some kind of a-hole to run a play like that in Pop Warner. I'm sure all the coaches thought they were geniuses though by fooling those 7th graders.

Assholes make the best coaches. Case closed.
 
I prefer one of our WRs diving for a ball out of bounds, and taking out kim in the process.

Just hope they don't hit Fetters. Be like trying to survive a mudslide in Oso.
 
True....but Gil Dobie didn't have to run trick plays against 7th graders to prove it.
Gil Dobie was an asshole.

Disagree.

Warshington 20, Lincoln HS 0 (10-08-1910)
Warshington 42, Lincoln HS 0 (10-02-1911)
Warshington 26, Everett HS 0 (09-27-1913)
Warshington 33, Aberdeen HS 6 (09-26-1914) the fuck? got scored on by high school kids?

Did Gil have to face a ranked Oregon State?

Nor a ranked USS Tennessee

Reverse to DiAndre Campbell who stops to pass deep to John Ross but get tackled, fumbles, returned for a touchdown.
Sure, it failed, but what a cool play for the huskies, man.
 
Just did some looking - the USS Tennessee had a very Sark-like 8-5 record:

Enemy ships destroyed: 8
Number of times Tennessee damaged by enemy aircraft or enemy fire

Action/Damage

(1) Pearl Harbor/Two Bomb Hits.
(2) Eniwetok/One man wounded by rife fire from the beach.
(3) Saipan/Three hits from enemy 6 inch shore battery.
(4) Iwo Jima/Two hits from enemy 37 mm battery.
(5) Okinawa/Suicide plane with bomb hit ship on 12 April 1945

And just like Sark, just needed more time to get its own semen seamen in there.
 
Actually, Dobie ran something called the "Bunk Play", which was something akin to the fumblerooski. It helped beat Oregon, and Oregon protested mightily to some governing body (can't remember who, they weren't in the PCC yet).
 
In particular, one play is of interest, the Dobie-Bunk Play, which he inserted for the Oregon game in 1911. The center faked a handoff to Coyle and kept the ball while the two guards fell down in front of the center. Coyle took off his leather helmet, tucked it under one arm and bolted around end. After counting to 3, the center turned and handed the ball off to the end, who scampered in the opposite direction from Coyle and scored a touchdown. No one knew what happened. Washington won the game 29-3. Sometime later, the play was declared illegal. (See the "Ghost of Dobie," by Mike Archbold, for a humorous description of the play and his witty characterizations of Dobie.

Fuck that guy.

It was common practice at the University of Washington for a large percentage of athletes to work a year or two between high school and matriculation. This gave them a maturity and seasoning that was highly advantageous in building any sort of an athletics endeavor. This practice most likely explains the ages of the four footballers pictured on page 451 of a document published in 1914, titled, "Washington--A University of the Northwest," by Henry J. Case.

The players pictured are:

BeVan Presley, Senior, Center, age 24;
Wayne Sutton, Senior, Right End, age 22
Cedric Miller, Sophomore, Left Half, age 21
Herman Anderson, Senior, Right Tackle, Age 23

Presley's photo showed a receding hairline.

Double fuck that guy.
