A lot of teams hold up signs with fun symbols on them to signal in plays (and / or for misdirection), including a bunch of dudes signaling sings in from the side lines. Gophers do it... I think everyone does.
But Colorado had a weird situation going on. They had one sign guy, who held up one symbol at a time.
I was watching and in the first half, every time they held up Pickle Rick ... it was a pass... every time I watched, pickle === pass. The sign was held up well before the play started. Gopher players looked to their own sideline, then a few at Colorado's sideline too.
The second half rick was a run most of the time although I stopped looking closely.
Now I know jack squat about signaling in plays, and maybe Pickle Rick wasn't even the actual sign, but it was the weirdest thing that it was so predictable / reliable of an indicator. That couldn't seriously have been the sign right?
