Members MsGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 Doesn't count. Division III is the amateur hour of college football. Hell, they're actually real life student athletes. I'm waiting for somebody in the SEC fesses up. (Vandy doesn't count,LOL.) lookin 1 Quote
Members lookin Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 Doesn't count. Really! Especially bi. That's barely sliding one foot out the door. I bet in another year or two it won't count unless you swear you're a pig bottom who's into cross-dressing and hot wax facials. MsGuy 1 Quote
Members MsGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 Nick Buttocksky, noted Alabama tight end, came out during media day at the NFL combine. Still rated as consensus 1st round draft pick, Nick says he just has to be himself & credits a post from Lookin on Boytoy.com for giving him the idea. "First one of you suckers that giggles gets ripped a new asshole." lookin 1 Quote
Members MsGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 Conner's kind of cute for a semi-jock. But he's a kicker, not a real football player. lookin 1 Quote

Guest hitoallusa Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I have always wondered why tight pants are necessary for football players.. Come to think of Superman, Spiderman, Batman & Robin, Captain America, Green Latern and etc.. all wear tight pants.. Hmm wonder why that is.. Quote

Nice tuckus too (he is number 16).....sorry, couldn't resist I'm trying to figure out this photo. Since Connor is a kicker for Willamette U., why do the players' helmets have an "S" on them? Quote
Members RA1 Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 As a guess, it might say "cats" on one side of the helmet. Certainly there is not enough room to say "bearcats". What the hell is a bearcat anyway? lookin- You should know that Vandy has real teams with real athletes and no I did not go there. Just because the IQ of the wrestling team is higher than their weight class does not mean they are not "real" athletes. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members RA1 Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 BTW- Not to pick on anyone but personally I am now sure what "bi" really is. The only person I know who might actually qualify is AS and he is a "special case". Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members wayout Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 I'm trying to figure out this photo. Since Connor is a kicker for Willamette U., why do the players' helmets have an "S" on them? The photo is from his high school playing days (apparently due to an injury he hasn't had much playing time as a freshman at Wilamette U). He went to Southridge High School (so that explains the "S" on the helmet). Very observant Charlie. lookin 1 Quote
Members RA1 Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 Better answer, wayout. Thanks. Best regards, RA1 Quote

Just because the IQ of the wrestling team is higher than their weight class does not mean they are not "real" athletes. I think (at least I hope) you mean these comments for MsGuy. Trying to draw me into an informed sports conversation is kind of like asking a resident of Pompeii to offer a few humorous remarks on the subject of lava.

Members MsGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 RA1, I just meant that Vandy athletes tend to attend real classes right along with regular students and to have majors in things other than "Sports Management" and the like. So...not like a legit SEC school. It's not like I'm talking out of school here; everybody knows Vandy's presence in the SEC is a result of a fluke of the conference's history. LOL, Tulane and Sewanee used to belong too but they got squeezed out a long time ago. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 So, even cuter as a teenager. (Sigh) I would have given my left nut to have a boyfriend like him back in high school. Hey, MsGuy, you wanna hang out after practice? Sure thing, Conner, where you wanna meet up? lookin 1 Quote

(not one of my analogies, alas, rather an old Tom Lehrer wheeze) Same here. Gen. Groves on Oppenheimer: "He's a genius. A real genius. While Lawrence is very bright, he's not a genius, just a good hard worker. Why, Oppenheimer knows about everything. He can talk to you about anything you bring up. Well, not exactly. I guess there are a few things he doesn't know about. He doesn't know anything about sports." (...Cue MsGuy... ) lookin 1 Quote
Members RA1 Posted January 29, 2014 Members Posted January 29, 2014 lookin- As always, you are correct. My east - west was entirely confused. Also my north - south. When your compass goes completely haywire, you just have to go straight ahead and hope for the best. This happens to me frequently when I go into snow country this time of year. I am completely confused when the high temperature is minus anything as it was this week while I was in Indiana. I have now escaped back into the still cold South but forecast to be warm and friendly in a matter of a few days. Best regards, RA1 lookin 1 Quote

Members wayout Posted January 30, 2014 Members Posted January 30, 2014 Great article and gives more depth to the story, thanks for posting MS. I was very moved by the support he got from the head coach and the team leaders. He certainly picked the right school and team, on more levels than one. I don't blame you one bit for having a crush on this guy MS. JKane, MsGuy and AdamSmith 3 Quote
