Triple Option Playbook

PrintI posted this in the comments of the interview with Winfield Featherston (writing that name never gets old), but I thought it'd be fun for people to take a look at an actual Triple Option playbook.
This is Army's 1997 offensive playbook. More than just the complexity of the plays themselves, it is quite interesting to see the depth that the staff goes to in emphasizing timing, discipline, and straight up knowledge of each and every little aspect of the plays.
I know that Georgia Tech's offense is a little bit more of a spread option, but many of the characteristics are the same.
Just take a moment and look it over. It's like chess on speed.

Good stuff
especially the Center/Guard calls – picking up weakside LBs is critical to the QB read.
Audible System Embarrassing Anecdote: We had an audible system in HS that called for us to bark out a state name, which generally meant same play, but other side. I went up to the line in practice on one play, saw the safety coming up, and knew the play needed to go left. I barked out “CANADA! CANADA!”, went on cadence, and took the snap – Coach blew the play dead and about fell over laughing, thereupon reminding that Canada was, in fact, not yet a state.
I guess there's gotta be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.
So...
Was the ‘CANADA!’ audible asking for a 12th player to show up on the field? Or that it was third down and you didn’t have another to get the first down?
I hate the CFL.
"President Bartlet: A long flight across the night. You know why late flights are good? Because we cease to be earthbound and burdened with practicality. Asking important questions. Talking about the idea that nobody has thought about yet. Put it a different way...

In case you find it interesting, here are some more links to sites that explain a bit about this offense:
Cool
But not as cool as my additions to the KU playbook (yeah I said it)

Best source I've seen
is Paul Johnson’s 2002 GA Southern playbook.
