RB Chris "Beanie" Wells (All B1G, All-American)

[sandgk]

Gosh I love that she pulled the "Ohio kids stay in Ohio' card. Is it against NCAA violations to have Mrs. Wells start using her clout as Chris' mother and start swaying other Ohio mothers (Boren, etc)? Any woman that can bring a beast like this into the world and raise him to be a good kid has to have one commanding presence

On a different note, has anyone ever heard of a statistic tracking which state retains more of its top players? It seems like we'd have a pretty good shot at this statistic... I guess top players is very subjective, so its hard to track something like this, but I don't think any other state can claim they keep as much talent as we do.

I'd have to believe that even with the continuing ties Oklahoma has into the Texas panhandle that the Lone Star state will do pretty well with its own crop of athletes. So many colleges with D1A programs and an always strong HS football program.
Don't know who would come out on top, but they are my pick for the Contender vs Ohio. And fromsCUM -- its a really interesting question.

I can hear the chants already coming from the crowd...."Beanie, Beanie, Beanie"

It is going to be great watching Chris bulldoze the UM defense for years to come

What does the nickname "Beanie" refer to? Is it random or is there a story behind it? This may have already been answered but I must have overlooked it if so. Thanks.

the answer was in this post earlier.....but his older brother thought his head looked like a bean when he was younger so the nickname stuck with him. can wait to hear 105,000 people chanting beanie...beanie, how awesome some will that be!

You have no idea how huge that post was Highstreet! Not sure if I could pull it off, but having larger pics like that make wallpapers such a stronger possibility. Sending some serious green!

I think if you ask Chris Pool, he'll tell you that Chris Wells is Adrian Peterson all over again.

Mack Brown...nobody does less with more!

basically I am quoting Pool as saying that Chris Wells has the ability to become a national sensation...ala Adrian Peterson circa 2004.

I've seen him play a bunch of times and he reminds me of a bo jackson and h. walker type.with his great speed and size . He's bigger than peterson already.

He made a few plays at lb that was the most athletic thing I've ever seen a lb do to.
