Keep in mind this is a humongous man running an agility drill. Some of his blubber is going to slosh around a little, which is what created the illusion that he's packing a ton of extra weight. I can't be sure that he's not heavier, but I would defer to jimotisheisman's opinion. On a separate note, Rehring could do an infomercial on the success of the strength and conditioning program at tOSU.

I saw Pitcock the other day, doesn't look he has added any winter pounds. Looks like he kept his build from football season. People have to remember most players are right back in the weight room a week after the season doing stuff "individually". Most college football players don't have time to pack on pounds, especially when your in a program like tOSU.

Speaking of Pitcock, he's a lot faster than you'd think. Two plays stand out to me:

1.) The long screen pass to Hart in The Game. Pitcock was about 2-3 yards behind him and to the inside of the field, and ran nearly step for step with Hart.

2.) The play he made on Oklahoma State's fake FG in the Alamo Bowl, where he ran down and tackled the runner.

i'm glad you cleared that up because i was under the impression that they got bigger and stronger from 12 oz. curls

obviously i'm making a point that Troy has dedicated A LOT of time, he is THICK, check out this pic..........and the point i was inferring beyond that is that he has obviously taken his training seriously and basing it on conditioning he is serious about being the starting QB next year, not that anyone doubted that

I know the dad of one of Quinn's High School teammates. He's always talking about how fast Quinn is. In one particular story he talks about is when they ran Junior High track. If they went against a smaller school. They would run what they called "The Fat Boy Squad" for the 400m relay. Quinn would run the anchor, and there would be four "fat boy's" just blowing away the sprinters from some of the smaller schools. He said it was one of the funniest things you've ever seen. This huge Junior High kid moving that fast around a track. Last time he checked. Quinn ran around a 4.6 40. He says that he's heard that it's better than that now, but can't confirm it.

Pitcock's sporting some exemplary Man titties there.

That's it, I'm going to have to tell Hawk to get a haircut and Pitcock to get a mansiere.

All through an anonymous e-mail mind you! :paranoid:

The Lantern had something relevant today...

Smith apologizes to football team during yesterday's media session



Troy Smith, the Ohio State quarterback who was suspended from the season-ending Alamo Bowl for accepting money from a booster, took responsibility for his mistake when he met with the media for the first time since the bowl game yesterday.

"They prep us all the time about the things we should do as far as money outlets, and I just made a poor decision as a man," Smith said. "I've just got to make better ones in the future."

The junior, who started the final five games of the regular season for OSU last year while accumulating a 4-1 record, said he had apologized to his teammates.

"First and foremost, as a leader on the team, it was an apology because I let my guys down," Smith said. "But life goes on. The decisions we make are the decisions that make us."

That came as news to junior wide receiver Santonio Holmes, who expressed his wish that Smith make amends with the team.

"It would be a great thing for him to apologize to the team just to let the guys know that he cares about us and he still wants to be part of this team and he doesn't want anybody look at him different, but if he doesn't, you live life," Holmes said.

Told of Smith's earlier words to the media, Holmes said, "if he can address that to the team next 6 a.m. (practice), that would be a great thing."

Smith, who rushed for 145 yards and accounted for three touchdowns against Michigan, said that the incident is in the past and emphasized his desire to get back on the field.

"The important thing is that I'm back out here with the guys working out, training hard, and getting ready for next season," he said. "If you paid attention today, our team worked very hard getting ready for the new season."

Smith's teammates said they supported him after the incident and there would be no hard feelings.

"I stand behind Troy Smith 100 percent," junior defensive back Brandon Mitchell said. "He's just a leader. He's going to lead us in the direction that's right."

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel praised Smith's "excellent attitude" since coming back to the team.

"He's gone to work like everyone else," Tressel said.

The fifth-year coach expects Smith to miss the first game of next year's season as well, which begins when OSU faces Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 3. Tressel also added that he was unsure of any other sanctions from the NCAA resulting from the incident.

"You really don't know anything more than you know," Tressel said. "Usually in those cases you just wait and see what the sanctions are. You do your part first, which we did - we self-reported and self-imposed sanctions. We're hopeful that it's as minimal as it could be but I don't know anything."

Smith said he had not talked to anyone from the NCAA. On the field, he expects to have to battle for the starting quarterback job after junior Justin Zwick led the team to a 33-7 win in the Alamo Bowl.

"Coming out I'm sure Justin wants to start, I'm sure (redshirt freshman) Todd (Boeckman) wants to start," he said "Thinking about that right now is not my focus."

The interview session came after the first 6 a.m. workout of the offseason for the Buckeyes. Many of the upperclassmen were happy to get back on the field and described what is gained from the early sessions.

"I think the older guys gain a sense of leadership, and as a full team we gain a sense of togetherness," Mitchell said. "This is our first time getting together without the 2004 seniors. For the older guys, this is their chance to step up."

Others talked about how the workouts can help to improve last year's 8-4 record.

"We are getting great workouts in for the next two or three weeks," senior defensive back Nate Salley said. "When we get out there on the field during the summertime and during the games, just having that in the back of our minds, we went through six a.m.'s, we went through summer camp, we got all that done, there's no reason we shouldn't win this game."

As far as winning games, Mitchell thinks the Buckeyes have what it takes to get back to their 2002 level.

"If we get better every day going into the spring, going to the summer ... I think we'll be in national championship form," he said.

Tressel also noted the loss of defensive backs coach and co-defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, who was hired by the Cleveland Browns to coach the defensive backs.

"If you look at the long history of Ohio State, people have looked here to better their staffs," Tressel said. "It's part of reality that people are going to look at guys who have had a little sustained success, and defensively we've been pretty solid for a while."
