Are we doing this for 99 days?
And what happened to the fan post about the uniforms?

Not doing every day
But we’ll throw one in there every once in a while.

You mean
That nobody is going to accept t he challenge of rooting through PSU history to find players 98 through 1, so that the isolation insanity that is driving us all mad during the offseason, will be somewhat lessened? You make me sad (monty python voice)
I’d do it, but I’m also quite lazy.

Of course, there is still the problem of actually finding pictures of the players.

Well I guess you're not busy with anything now
since you finished your analysis of the Big Ten teams. I know were all bored with the offseason, but you seem to be taking it extremely hard.

I was wondering the same thing
About the uniform post. Was my Holly Rowe picture too scandalous?

No, not scandalous enough, good job you ruined it for everyone.

Uniform post
I’m not sure what happened to it. The SBN network has been under a lot of spam attack lately so they have put in some corrective measures. Maybe it got flagged for spam or something.
I don’t remember reading it. Were there a lot of links in there or something?

some new guy (wistlinwill, who also did the "Navarro Bowman's future" post)
put up a “uniforms change” post that asked if we’d like to see helmet stickers. There was a resounding “NO” in the comments, with some good discussion. I was curious where it went as well. I figured the guy deleted it, after all the harsh criticism he got after even mentioning using helmet stickers.

Ware came into Penn State at 370-pounds and it’s been a struggle to keep the weight off and cut what’s currently on his frame.
But after a season of watching from the sidelines, the surprisingly athletic Ware is starting to slim down, tone up and do all the necessary things to add depth to a stacked Nittany Lions defensive front.
"It’s a lot easier because there’s a lot of different options of healthy food to eat," Ware said after Saturday’s Blue White scrimmage. "Lot of fruit, lot of salad, lot of grains and stuff like that and everybody is on me, like ‘what are you doing?’ Everybody is looking at my plate seeing what I got."

I don’t know why, but this phrase just made me picture Brandon Ware harvesting a field of strawberries, and then eating them all in 15 seconds.
But that’s healthy, so whatever.

A critical analysis of eating an entire field of strawberries in 15 seconds.
I don’t know why, but this phrase just made me picture Brandon Ware harvesting a field of strawberries, and then eating them all in 15 seconds.
Uh huh. Lets see about that.
Strawberries Per Acre=3 ft. apart 12 in. 14,525 plants
Up to 1 pint per plant (I’ll use a conservative 0.5 pint per plant) = 0.5 pint of strawberries / plant
Nutrition Facts
1 pint = 3 1/4 cups whole berries
Serving Size: 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (166 grams) Calories 50
So by my calculations:
14,525 plants x 0.5 pint of strawberries / plant x 3.25 cups / pint x 50 calories / 1 cup = 1,180,156.25 calories
But that’s healthy, so whatever.
At 347 lbs. Ware needs 4573 Calories/day to maintain his weight. So that would be 258 days worth of calories but he would probably die first due to the osmolarity of his GI tract/blood.
Start eatin’.

That would still be pretty ugly...
Death from alcohol generally results in a Blood Alcohol Level of 0.2% to .6% so for BWare we’re looking at somewhere between 17 (0.2%) and 51 beers (0.6%) in a 15 minute time span.
by deihlba on May 29, 2009 10:50 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I suggest either
shotgunning or funnels. I think 17 is easilty doable.

If you're looking for a great strawberry beer...
Try “Strawberry Blonde” by Pete’s Wicked Ale. Scrumptious.
Actually, I’m gonna go now to see if there’s one in the fridge.

Granted that requires an asinine remark for me to expand upon. RR was lucky enough to provide me with such an opportunity.

He really looks the part now
It will be interesting to see how he does. It is easy to look really good when you are 370 lbs in HS, but I certainly have faith in LJ.

I think LJ saw something special in him. Last year’s B10N summer preview of PSU’s practice had a segment where one of the commentators specifically called out Ware saying he was “like a dancing bear” and that he was basically unblockable when he was fresh. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see him blow up this year, especially on short yardage and run plays.
Just remember, most teams are going to have to double-team Odrick and if you have Ware and Crawford out there you’re talking serious damage.

Imagine for a second if Maybin hadn’t gone pro. A line with Odrick, Ware, Crawford, and Maybin. Do you even try to block them, or do you just throw bubble screens on every passing down.

Maybin will be missed, but I’m glad he went pro — I love the excitement of knowing a kid like Ware or Crawford is about to blow up — and no one else outside of PSU nation knows their names yet.

That’s probably the only way they’re going to be able to stop 350lbs barreling into them., and they’re going to get away with it.
