Does anybody have the records at OSU for OL/DL, I know they are posted at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, and there have been pics of them posted before.

It might give Taz a feeling of what some of the best OSU players throughout time have done. I also wonder about the legitamacy of some of those squat numbers posted, I mean a kid might tell a reporter something he squatted but would not really count because he didn't have the form or really go all that far in his squat.

HH - any news from the coach Bollman

are the coaches back from vacation, any updates from coach Bollman and how many linemen they will take? If R. Wilson committs, will he be the last. this would have to be the best OSU offensive line class ever if R. Wilson comes on board......

710 for Clarett? That's sick. Lydell's is pretty impressive as well. How about Donte Whitner squatting 630 pounds. Wow.

I recall some discussion that these numbers were adjusted based on position and body size. Nothing firm, but I am fairly certain JT said this when those photos first made the rounds. Can anyone confirm/recall this?

Great to hear you are coming to Columbus to see the Michigan game. It will be very interesting to hear you thoughts after the visit. It's great you are going to see the Bucks against NC State as well. That should be a really good game. Thanks for keeping us in the hunt.

Yo TAZ,

After reading your interview with B-Nutty, I felt the need to watch Cool Runnings again.

I've had a VHS copy of it for many years, so I headed down to the basement to see if I could dig it up.

After about 10 - 15 minutes of searching, I found it in an old shoebox. Popped it into the VCR, and I gotta say that CR is probably more funny now than what I remember from watching it years ago.

It was so funny, that I thought I would write a little review here just to refresh everyone's memory of this great movie.

Here goes... Enjoy!

John Candy stars in the role as Irv Blitzer, coach of the Jamaican Bobsled Team in "Cool Runnings"...

Doug E. Doug and Malik Yoba offer fine supporting roles as well, as Blitzer's hard to teach pupils.

Blitzer and his Jamaican recruits must now face the complex winter sport of Olympic Bobsledding...

In order to pull this feat off, a reluctant Coach Blitzer must mold his Jamaican Team by teaching them the basics of the sport.

Needless to say, the results start out rather rocky...

This is mainly due to the tropical Jamaican landscape, which offers nothing in the form of snow, cold, or ice.

Naturally these elements would allow our first time Olympic hopefuls an opportunity to gain some further insight on how to better prepare themselves for the tough road ahead.

However, the hilly Jamaican terrain would soon serve a purpose, as the sport of bobsledding requires as much agility and speed necessary to navigate the many curves and slopes throughout a bobsled course.

But, in order for our Olympic hopefuls to accomplish their goal, they must raise enough money for a trip to Canada and the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.

Despite the efforts of Coach Blitzer, who is unable to borrow the $20.000 needed to get his team to Calgary from the local Olympic Committee...

Our team moves on to Plan B, where our future Olympic hopefuls attempt to raise the money on their own through donations, but are only able to scrape together less than $1000.

Well short of the money needed for the trip, Plan C turns out to be the charm...

One of our athletes, (named Junior) receives a cash loan from his wealthy father (who wholeheartedly objects to his son's amateurish career choice), plus Junior sells his car to cover the remaining cost of the trip.

Now, the wheels are set in motion (no pun intended)...

As soon as the boys and their coach arrive in Calgary, they receive a rather harsh greeting, courtesy of the harsh, bitterly cold winter weather.

Sanka Coffee (Doug E. Doug), Yul Brenner (Malik Yoba), Junior Bevil (Rawle D. Lewis) and Derice Bannock (Leon), are having great difficulty in adjusting to their new winter environment...

While Coach Blitzer seems to feel at home in the whitewash (he ought to, being that John Candy's Canadian). :biggrin:

Blitzer sees to it that his boys are not affected by the negative surroundings, not to mention the harsh reception by everyone from the International Olympic Committee to the other athletes.

Coach gives the guys a strict training regimen to better prepare them for their qualifying run, which got off to a shaky start, and eventually leads to becoming the laughingstock of the Olympic Games.

Well, as they say, practice makes perfect, as Coach Blitzer & Co. are off to try their nighttime practice qualifying run again, this time coming ever so closely to the one minute official qualifying time limit, but fall just short at finishing with a time of one minute and two seconds.

However, the third time would be the charm, as the crew finished their final practice run before the real Olympic competition, finishing at just under 1 minute.

Now, it's on to the real time trials, where the Jamaicans come out of the gate slowly and unsurely, thus continually being mocked at by their adversaries.

Coach Blitzer is proud of his team, nonetheless, and the guys go out and celebrate their somewhat major accomplishment, as a result of their second Olympic run.

I'm going to stop right here.

As there's still more work to do before the Jamaicans' third and final run, which is a must see...

I never give away the ending! :tongue2:


Many a viewer of "Cool Runnings", will be both happy and heartbroken upon seeing the spellbinding ending, which will teach chidren a very important life lesson and instill confidence in them at the same time.

The warm stylings of the reggae music are also a perfect compliment to both the Jamaican and Canadian environments...

Given that "Cool Runnings" was also one of John Candy's final films, makes this feature a must see for the entire family.
