What's the over / under on post counts until this thread gets locked or disappears.

This one

Nah, I'm leaving it up for a while and I just asked the guys not to delete any content within reason.

I guess mine wasn't reasonable then? Factually accurate, certainly, but apparrently unresaonable.

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world.    Fortunately there are some  exceptional people who give us hope.

Harold Schlumberg is such a person:

QUOTE FROM HAROLD:
                                     "I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?' Well...I'm
                                        fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is
                                       converting beer, wine and vodka into urine. I do it every day and I really enjoy it."

Harold should be an inspiration to us all.

Welcome to the board CTNYGFAN! I look forward to our future sparring matches. 

Sheesh.....was that an eye test? Because if so, I have an appointment to make.

Did you know that studies show that a woman is turned on by different things, depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. If she is ovulating, she is attracted to strong men with rugged masculine features.  And if she is just about to menstruate, she is more attracted to a man with a knife in his chest and tape over his mouth while he is on fire.

Herb Welsh II?

I was thinking more along the lines of Craig Dahl II. Very similar speed, size, and skill set.

The Sun Belt conference isn't exactly the NFC. I guess I'll wait and see.

I agree but it is much a much better conference than some might think. Troy alone has produced guys like Umenyiora, Demarcus Ware, Tynes, and Leodis McKelvin. There are some athletes down there.

Wait.....I think I just called Lawrence Tynes and athlete.

I know it is a ridiculous comparison, but he reminds me a little of Jerry Rice or Chris Johnson with the way he runs away from people. Nothing shifty or fancy, just one move and then.......see ya.

A terrapin (turtle) who runs a 4.35 40-yard-dash?  

Hares beware. 

So now we have two Scotts in the backfield. I think everyone has already forgotten about Charles Scott from LSU who was signed late last season.

As near as I can tell, we just drafted a tackling machine.  

If you think anyone knows anything for sure at this point, just read the scouting reports on this guy. Absolutly all over the place. Everything from good work ethic and athletic to underperforming and unable to reach the second level.

My brother actually called the pick. He lives in Pennsylvania and has been talking to me about this guy for months now. He said they would take him in the 3rd Round. I told him he was nuts.

He called this moring to remind me I owe him a beer.

greg, the videos I've seen of him show him lined up in the backfield often.

He's Cam Newton's mini-me.

Coaches are just trying to get the ball in his hands, that's all.

He's the fastest player on the team now. And, Prince is the second fastest. Speed kills. The Giants just got a lot faster. Must be part of some kind of plan. 

Once some see him they will change their minds. What you want to watch is the broken tackles in this video. He is very tough to bring down for his size.
