Don't know about a sandwich, but she was getting Dos Equis and Duchesse de Bourgogne off the taps in the basement all afternoon... and she made some Nathan's cony sauce for hot dogs... and got the breaded cheese sticks out of the freezer...

:paranoid: Damn... I've got one hell of a great wife.

I don't know why his junior yr in HS, the analysts loved this kid then they gave him no love his senior year! This kid was going to be a stud and it seems like only Buckeye fans knew it. I'm glad he's starting to silence his critics a lot more prematurely than a lot of us thought!

Yeah I remember that... All world his junior world and then they said he couldn't shed blocks at all or something like that his senior year. Well I certainly think this is proving them wrong. Simon is gonna be tough to handle in the years to come. Heck he's tough to handle as a true freshman.

Simon is a FREAK!, doing 47 reps of 225 as a Jr. in High School and having a six pack at 265 lbs make you super human....mark my words he will be the best pass rushing DT Ohio State has ever had.

Scouts fell off b/c 1) Mooney (his HS team) was not as good (lost 6 D-1 players from a yr before, played lost of JR. who never played before) and he was asked to do a lot on D and O without much help. 2) Scouts like projectiable players, i.e. players who fit into definable positions as they seem them, and they like DTs who are heavy in comparison to their height. Simon, was not the 6'4" he was claimed to be in the beginning nor was he 280lbs and scouts backed away then they realized he was smaller, weight and height wise then first labeled. 3) Lastly, he verbaled early and therefor they couldn't ask the "where will he be going" question 20,000 times.

Awesome freshman campaign for Simon (with one to go :biggrin:) he played a lot this year and will be vital next year. That is one of the things missed at times when looking at returning starters, how much, and how meaningful were the minutes the year before for the new starters. Put another 10-15 lbs on Simon and he will be even more beastly next year :yow2:

Can anyone point me in the direction of the picture of John on NLOID with his father sitting nearby? I am with friends, and we just watched video of how big Tony Pike's father is, and I told them I had a picture to show them... and now I can't find it...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
