No one disputes that Wisky has some big boys on the O-Line. But BG does, too, something you have consistently refused to acknowledge.

Kinda graphic aren't we?

And what do you mean , I'm owned??

I actually think based on last roster listings , we are pretty average or below. The biggest guy on our O-line is probably Rob Warren who is 6'6 and 296 or so. The rest of the guys are around 300-305. UT's last year or one year averaged an O-line of 320lbs. Having a huge O-line hleps but , if your not going to have a huge offensive line then you'll need very athletic guys who can move well and know how to block well. The reason you all think I'm "obssesed" on size is because even though size is not everything all the time , it is what seperates us usually from the "big boys" of college football. The main reason why most peope might thing Wisky or anyother Big10 team would cush us is becuase they think that Mac teams are so small their team so so big and will physically dominate , ture for most of time.
I guess what I really mean to imply is that having the big players can help negate any physicality factor. Beyond that you have to rely on good coaching, smart players and some luck. Thats why a St. John's alum friend of mine didn't get a schollie to play football somewhere. Why cuz he's only 5'11 and 180. He was quite good at linebacker for the Titans , but no one is gonna give a schollie to a 5'11 180lb linebacker to play Div. 1 football.
BTW 1987Alum I'm a little worried, you have alot of those kind of pics lying around do you??
