It is becasuse Al johnson is a joke.

BTW, did you know that Rob Reynolds beat Mike Furrey's record in the Pro Agility drill?

Hint: There is a difference between hand times and electronic. So don't take all of these reported times as gospel.

The board obviously went up in 1990, as that is the earliest recorded achievement. My question is what was going on in 1991,1992, and 1993? Teams weren't too bad those years, but man is there a lack of achievements those years. Maybe about 3 total.

You cant quite deduce that the board was started in 1990 purely from that being the earliest number.
Most all of todays atheletes are bigger, faster, and strong than 15-20 years ago.
I would, frankly, be rather scared if we had alot of "records" dating back to the early 90's.

New Quotes from Practice - 04/08/05

Article from the O-Zone

There are also some quotes on the page about recruiting, the Marshall job and Snyder, and having three QB's. I thought these players' observations from practice are the most interesting. In another thread, I noted that the Coach Daniels might be giving Boekman the short shrift because he is perceived as young (which he isn't). These quotes would seem to suggest, however, that Boekman is going to get a fair shake to show his stuff, perhaps.

Quinn Pitcock:

"Alex Barrow, he's really coming on on the pass rush, he's doing really well on that. He's already moved up to the twos right now. He's one of those guys who goes hard on every play, is consistent all the time. He still needs to gain a little more weight but he still holds his ground. With a little more practice he could be a great player, very quick."

A.J. Hawk:

"A guy like Curtis Terry has so much raw talent, he's going to be a great player. Curtis is very fast. He brings a lot of speed, he ran track in high school, and he's bulked up. He weighs almost 225 now. He came in at about 190. When a guy is that big and can run as fast as he can and he's not afraid to hit, it's just exciting to watch him play."

Coach Daniels on Todd Boekman:


"He's one of those quarterbacks that finds the open guy. I wish I could take that and give it to everybody, but he has a knack, he really has a knack. He has vision to find that open guy, which is nice, which is very nice."

"He (Boeckman) is probably a little more advanced than the other two were at this time of year last year because he was more involved in reps last year as a redshirt guy. He's a pretty smart kid. He's big, he's strong, he throws the ball well."

"What I would like to do in the next week is get Todd more time with the ones. The learning curve he is on is on the rise, so it would be kind of neat to see him with the best receivers, the best running backs, the best linemen."

Boekman on Ted Ginn:

"I know it's definitely better to have Ted Ginn on your side. This year he knows what to do a lot better. He just knows where to go. He's just so athletic and so skilled, you get the ball in his hands early enough and quick enough and often, and he's going to make plays."

A Visionary: OSU quarterbacks coach Joe Daniels says there is a player who has been exhibiting one of those attributes you just can't coach, great vision. You may remember a freshman tailback in 2002 who was not particularly fast but was an extremely effective runner due largely to great vision. It's a quality that can often separate great players from good ones. Daniels just loves Todd Boeckman's vision and ability to see the field.

"He's one of those quarterbacks that finds the open guy," said Daniels describing Boeckman's gift.

"I wish I could take that and give it to everybody, but he has a knack, he really has a knack.

"He has vision to find that open guy, which is nice, which is very nice," said Daniels.

Daniels says Boeckman is advancing nicely this spring.

"He (Boeckman) is probably a little more advanced than the other two were at this time of year last year because he was more involved in reps last year as a redshirt guy. He's a pretty smart kid. He's big, he's strong, he throws the ball well," said Daniels.

"What I would like to do in the next week is get Todd more time with the ones. The learning curve he is on is on the rise, so it would be kind of neat to see him with the best receivers, the best running backs, the best linemen," Daniels said.

Boeckman says he would like that very much, if for no other reason than the opportunity to hook up with some of the receiving talent on the OSU first team offense.

"I know it's definitely better to have Ted Ginn on your side," said Boeckman in what is perhaps the largest understatement that will be made for the duration of spring camp this year.

"This year he knows what to do a lot better. He just knows where to go. He's just so athletic and so skilled, you get the ball in his hands early enough and quick enough and often, and he's going to make plays."

The next question is whether he can consistently get the ball to the open receiver. If he can, then start him.

Hmm...I wonder what Butler B'yno'te's 40 time was? I know I butched the spelling, but look at the guy's name for heaven's sakes. Those boards only go back a few years...so I'm wondering if he would have missed the cutoff. He was INSANELY fast.

I don't know what it was, but I do remember hearing while he played (no, I don't remember where I heard it or from whom, so don't quote me) that he was unofficially the fasted DI-A football player that year. The reason that statement was made was because he also ran track, or indoor track, and in some event he placed first of all of the other football players at the event.

No I think the most impressive would have to be M. Clarett Squating 710 pounds.... more than anyone ever at OSU.

Agreed. All those "big uglies" that have passed through the weight room, and the only player in the history of the program to reach the 700 plateau was the one guy who arguably half-assed everything else he ever did ... geeze, just imagine what he could've posted as a motivated junior?! :(

This is the primary reason I think MoC still gets drafted in the middle rounds this year, the kid is built like a bowling ball. Nobody ever really cared about his 40 times. What difference does it make how fast or slow you are if you can still run 5 more yards carrying the first guy to attempt a tackle on your back?

The most exciting news out of practice this spring, at least to me, is that Pittman seems to have stepped up his game! So, there is a real battle for the starting running back spot! This, I think has HUGE implications for the whole team! Now, things are really getting exciting!
