Clearly, otherwise you'd understand the significance of the sarcasm pirate Jimlad!

Something is amiss, however, in that we have to be the skinniest team in the Big 12.

Maybe Coach Mac wants them thin. The coach does have some say. I think Moser would be a good hire.

Andrew Moser, not Nic. And no, the 2 football s&c GA's have been doing the workouts the last two weeks. Moser already has 16 teams training at the rec. he doesn't have time to train 4-5 football groups a day.

Moser is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He also has a beautiful family. I know this doesn't matter to any of you, but I thought I'd throw that in there as a personal note.

Maybe we should hire Brooke Burke and have the guys use an exercise ball. Seems to have worked for her.

Saving money and buying a couple of bowflexes may be the plan. When those are full, the Ultimate Pushup will be used.

You just proved my point. You do not know anything about strength and conditioning.

I can't say enough nice things about Andy Moser. One of Guttenberg, IA's finest!

Keep in mind that half of our players are still new to the program (Eickmeier, Buckley, Hamilton, Mann, Vanderbeken, Christopherson and Pomlee). How much can the S&C guy do when the players have only been on campus for 4 months? I'm impressed with the improvements I've seen in a short amount of time with Diante Garrett, Craig Brackins and Charles Boozer (those guys were all pretty skinny when they showed up at ISU).

I'd like to see Hulk Hogan... not only could he develop them into physical freaks, but also raving lunatics. The post game interviews with Eric Heft would be a lot more interesting!

Just my opinion

Ive got a decent amout of knowledge in the field. Ive worked with some highschool athletes whos goals were to put on weight while getting more athletic. You can lift 6 days a week (which I do not recommend) and still never put on a pound because weight (muscle) gain is about 85% diet.
