Human pyramid, eh? It's a crazy idea - so crazy it might just work! It should help keep the guys on the bottom from jumping offsides, and increasing the number of passes batted down will be a sign of real progress. Sure, the human pyramid defense is vulnerable on the edges and over the top, but heck - we're vulnerable on the edges and over the top now. And it will definitely get us on ESPN.

No wait, nevermind. No way to get it installed in time for the next three games - it would take several years of breathtaking failure before the innovation started paying off.

The human pyramid was used by Cornell in the 60's in a game against Princeton in an effort to block Charlie Gogolak's field goal attempt. It was subsequently outlawed.
