At his weekly media circus at fooBar, East Nashville coach Jim McMahon couldn't stop talking about Black Dogs running back Ronnie Brown and the team's new "Wild Dog" formation which features Brown as the quarterback in a variation on the old Single Wing.
"I'm just trying to stay ahead of the defenses in this league," McMahon explained when asked what made him add the "Wild Dog" formation to his playbook. "If you'll recall, I was the original Dr. Krankenstein. Now almost all of the league's teams have followed my example and those who haven't are at the bottom of the standings.
"I'm sure it will only be a few seconds before other teams are trying to duplicate the success we are having with the "Wild Dog," but we spent the entire offseason working on the formation, so it may be next season before our opponents can begin to catch up."
The coach was asked to what extent he planned to use the "Wild Dog" against West Nashville this weekend and he said, "A lot. [Boyd X.] Biggs has never seen anything like this. I'm expecting Ronnie to have a record-setting day.
"If anyone sees Biggs, tell him I've got something for him." When Joe Biddle took the bait and asked what he had for Biggs, McMahon said, "Canes pugnaces."
