He said he also got 3rd in the 100 meter dash in the in-door track meet recently and only didn't win because he thought the finish line was earlier than it was. He ran 40 meters in 4.27 secs. No big deal:)

I loved this post but had some questions about the accuracy here--I was wondering if anyone would catch it before I got back online.

For example--the 100 isn't usually run at indoor meets. The 60 is. A poster also mentioned that at the Cyclone Invitational, Bo ran a 7.27 in his heat--IIRC.

Remember that game as a kid when someone whispers a statement in someone else's ear, and it makes it around the room, whispered from ear to ear, and you see at the end what came out? I'm wondering if some of the facts didn't get a little garbled somewhere along the line.

And the rest of basketball. Waiting for the breakout upset win for next year. The defensive ends appear t6 be aoncern since little was mentioned. Are we covered for DEs?

Love the idea of recruiting 6'7" TE's and converting them to OL positions. They add the size/strength in college but keep the quickness and athleticism...that has been the path taken by a lot of very successful offensive linemen.

I got so excited about this post I went and parked my car in the student lot with a cooler of beer waiting for someone else to show up...haha
CAN'T WAIT

I wish I would have herd about this conference with McFarland! Where was it held? Invite only or what?

Looks like the master Plan in football is taking shape better than in basketball. In basketball, we are losing more recruitied bodies than we are in football. Strange.

Seems that Chizik will have some fine chiseled enduromatic players who play the full sixty. We are still waiting for the Play Forty in basketball.

The race is on - NCAA/NIT (97 or so spots) or football Bowl Team (at least 68 spots).

Coach said it was a Bo ran a 4.27 in the first 40 of his race. Got 3rd.

I am 100% confident in the staff and their approach. If you get a chance go listen.

I think in 09 we will be chearing a lot of great things.

Great post Cyclonebillski. Thanks for providing highlights of his comments. Wow - can't help but be excited already for next year after hearing about the players, etc. Nice comment about Franklin - really speaks to comment the players are making to the program. Also great to hear good players want to come here...
