;)

[soonerborn30]

Could I be the first 31 year-old kicker ever?!

[ouleaf]

Always Sunny....So Hilarious. Can't wait for the new season.

[MiccoMacey]

43, but a leg like a...well...43 year old.

But I'm into Thai kicking, if that helps.

[C&CDean]

53, but I just squatted 4-reps at 335, and am now down to 223 with my workout clothes on. Ran a 4.5 too. In the 20.

[SoonerDomiNation]

I dont think i could run 10 yards w/o oxygen but put me in coach im ready to play. MAybe i could be their 41 year old holder.

[soonerborn30]

That's Florida speed right there!

[SoonerBK]

I wonder how many show up? Are the coaches like WTF!!??

[badger]

I wonder how many show up? Are the coaches like WTF!!??

Nah, I bet they're especially interested in kickers... like kickoff kickers and extra point kickers and field goal kickers... and maybe kicker holders too.

But ESPECIALLY kickoff kickers.

[setem]

I have been looking at the site and what needs to be done to participate. Does anyone know if I have eligibility left? I have been going to school since 05...been at OU since 07...I have no hopes of making the team but damn it will be fun to try and see what it like to be one of those guys for a couple of hours. If they dress us out for a scrimmage or what not my life would be complete! Plus I think I can take Lepak!

[soonerborn30]

looks like you just have to be a full time student, setem.

[setem]

hmmmm we will just have to see wont we? Wish me luck!

Setem goes invincible....Should I pop my shirt off? I am gonna fill up on milksteak tonight so I can have some energy for tomorrow! Think they will be pissed if I am chugging beers before hand?

[soonerborn30]

Pissed? No. Entertained? Probably.

[C&CDean]

hmmmm we will just have to see wont we? Wish me luck!

Setem goes invincible....Should I pop my shirt off? I am gonna fill up on milksteak tonight so I can have some energy for tomorrow! Think they will be pissed if I am chugging beers before hand?

Dude, they're looking for players, not a replacement for Mangino.:eek:

[setem]

haha i dont care if I make it or not. I wanna be able to say I did it! Strolling around in the crimson and cream for a afternoon is more than most anyone gets to do in their lifetime! Wish they had done this when I started there, maybe it wouldnt be as douchy!

[Mad Dog Madsen]

I played tackle in HS and college. I guarantee you I could've made last years squad! lol. I'm not going to try out though. My days of doing "two-a-days" are over for good! :P

[Soonerntxs]

Did i miss the tee fetcher job again? I am 510, 235 and run a 7.0/40

[Soonerntxs]

By the way is that guy DAVE still doing that?

[yermom]

hmm... yermom is a full-time student...

[Howzit]

Yeah, but you used up your 4 years of eligibility about 7 years ago.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Van Wilder was loosely based on yermom

[yukonsooner]

Didn't Tech get a pretty good kicker doing this a couple of years ago???

[yermom]

Van Wilder was loosely based on yermom


i've certainly gotten Bluto Blutarsky before...

[yermom]

i think it was from one of those half-time things :D

[oudavid1]

im 6'1, 140.

And i would be the best holder ever.

[soonerborn30]

6'1" and 140?! Dude. You need to go get a Whopper. With Cheez. And King-size the fries while you're at it.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

He's just a young'n. In ten years he'll be 6'0 240. :D

[gaylordfan1]

Man, this isn't very encouraging. But, i guess Stoops figured what the hell.... might as well. I wonder if they will post the tryouts on soonersports?

[sooner_born_1960]

im 6'1, 140.

And i would be the best holder ever.
Except on windy days.

[Mississippi Sooner]

He's just a young'n. In ten years he'll be 6'0 240. :D

No kidding. When I was his age, I was 6'-4" 170.

I never got any taller, but I did add about 80 pounds of SEC speed.

[oudavid1]

Except on windy days.

ill be honest, when i walk through an area on a slightly windy day 20mph+ i have to lean a little bit.

But dont think i aint eatin folks, i went to What-a-Burger the other night and got the triple meat, bacon, pickle, jalapeno burger with large fries. Weighs almost as much as i do. Put that baby away nicely.

[BillyBall]

im 6'1, 140.

And i would be the best holder ever.

Are you a supermodel?

[yankee]

im 6'1, 140.

And i would be the best holder ever.

and i thought i was skinny...

[C&CDean]

I ain't weighed 140 since about the 4th grade.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I dropped a deuce that probably weighed close to that..I named it C11

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'm still waiting to hear if Setem got that Mangino slot on the roster.

[oudavid1]

Are you a supermodel?


and i thought i was skinny...

Is that really that bad, i mean i can move and catch the football like nobodies business. Beast on the volleyball sand as well.

[setem]

Nope I have no eligibility left and they don't want anyone just trying out for the fun of it. Sad face! I was excited too!

[Fraggle145]

Man, this isn't very encouraging. But, i guess Stoops figured what the hell.... might as well. I wonder if they will post the tryouts on soonersports?

Florida did it a couple of years back... just sayin.

[rawlingsHOH]

Is that really that bad, i mean i can move and catch the football like nobodies business. Beast on the volleyball sand as well.

Yeah, pretty bad.

I remember when I was a sophomore in HS, I was 6-0 155, and pretty much the skinniest person I knew. Zero muscle mass.

[Mississippi Sooner]

As I said before, I was 6'-4" and 170 when I was 19, and it freaks me out to see pictures of myself at that age. It looks like my clothes are hanging on a scarecrow.

But, as David was saying about himself, it wasn't from a lack of eating. If I was to consume as many calories now as I did back then, they'd be putting my carcass in the ground in no time.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Florida did it a couple of years back... just sayin.

I thought you had to beat Chris Rainey in a foot race? ...Or something like that.

[setem]

I could have really embarrassed myself! Not one person tried out for D-line! (http://newsok.com/ou-football-notebook-more-than-two-dozen-students-try-out-for-kicker/article/3489102?custom_click=headlines_widget)

[Collier11]

I dropped a deuce that probably weighed close to that..I named it C11

He calls me deuce cus im always puttin it in his #2 hole

[Collier11]

Florida did it a couple of years back... just sayin.

Hell, Mike Leach took a guy out of the stands and he was a pretty solid kicker...gotta do what you gotta do

[gaylordfan1]

2 men.... 1 CUP!

[oudavid1]

I could replace John Nimmo at holder.

[gaylordfan1]

Didn't you talk to Bob about this? I thought you already had the job. :D

[oudavid1]

Well apparently being a student at UCO makes things slightly difficult.

[John Kochtoston]

FTA:

"Earlier this week, Stoops wasn't pleased with the kicking competition — which has been going on all month between Patrick O'Hara, Jimmy Stevens, Bryce Easley and Michael Hunnicutt — and said he would be evaluating those who showed up at the tryout."

Awesome. Another season of 31-yard shanks.

[Collier11]

I could replace John Nimmo at holder.

wang holder

[gaylordfan1]

Yes, that would present a problem.

[oudavid1]

[BoomerJ]

Just think, the kicker is probably the most fragile person on the field psychologically. Now these four guys are seeing that Coach Stoops doesn't have enough trust in any of them so he trying out 26 students to see if they can do the job any better. Pretty crushing, especially for the one on scholarship. I trust Stoops and we must improve in that area of the game, but what incredible pressure.

They had better get used to pressure.

[soonerboy]

Is it wrong that I'm having flashbacks to the movie "invincible" when I think about these walkon tryouts?

[Jason White's Third Knee]

I wonder if Marky Mark would make a good kicker...

lol whats up! How do you know him? I grew up with this kid.

[badger]

So... um... did any of the 26 kickers that tried out show anything worthwhile? Are we gonna get them on the team, or are we sticking with Patches O'Hoolie, Jimmy Stevens and the other guy?

[Crucifax Autumn]

Unfortunately Brody is gone or he could try his hand at yet another position.

[NormanPride]

I've heard Stoops is calling back three of the kickers that showed up in order to give them some extra work. Rumor is that one of them hit a 60 yarder. :eek:

Ja, but can't Patty hit a 60-yarder too?

What is a kick from the 50 yard line?

Link to Patrick's video on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBSQizkawzQ)

[CrimsonJim]

No idea if it's fact or fiction, but I heard it was 72 yards!! Probably off a tee or something, but that's a lot of leg.

[rawlingsHOH]

Remember, when a kid kicks it thru the uprights on a kickoff, that is 80 yards, or about 85 in the air.

very true. a lot easier to kick a ball far when you don't have to get it over offensive and defensive linemen blocking for you (and trying to block the ball)

[oudavid1]

I dont think i could run 10 yards w/o oxygen but put me in coach im ready to play. MAybe i could be their 41 year old holder.

gotta beat me out first brotha

:D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

[BillyBall]

[BillyBall]

http://i772.photobucket.com/albums/yy10/oudavid1/SeniorNightHolder.jpg

And 140 is pushing it, that is like a 14 year old.

[CrimsonJim]

Me too, I hope he isn't another "CK"...

Blasphemy! :eek:

[Collier11]

What did David do to deserve that, not cool


And David, your forearms are very skinny :D

[CrimsonJim]

We should call start calling him Popeye, because his forearms are the same size as his biceps. :D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

He isn't another CK that I can tell..but I wouldnt post photos

[oudavid1]

One day i just might post a picture history (via Facebook) of all the girls ive dated in the past year (no names) just confirm to you guys that im probably not gay. But im not terribly homophobic, so dont worry....i like womens an sooner football. And also, (i have been using this line forever) what i lack in muscle and athletic ability (even though i bet no one on this whole board could cover me and in a game of touch ;) ) i make up for with a great personality and sense of humor. (*)

[Breadburner]

He's fast and feisty......

[soonerfromgeorgia]

I just had a friend walk on at Georgia Tech as a kicker, he went to one of these tryouts on Tuesday and made the team.

From what I understand he doesn't travel with the team, but has a chance to earn a trip I guess something like the movie Rudy.
