Ya think they'll take a 53 year old dude who is 5'10", 225, and can out bench press half the team? Prolly not, cause my 40 time is like 4 minutes.

We will of course give you a waiver on all this if you can kick 60 yard field goals consistently.

at 5'10" 225 your arms are short I have no doubt in my mind. with any girth in your chest at all you wouldn't have to throw your bench up more than 6 inches.

short chubby guys can' always bench quite a bit cuz they don't have to make the bar travel any distance at all.

short chubby? That ain't what she said.

I'm not your prototypical short, chubby guy. My arms are longer than some guys my size which makes me fairly proficient at arm wrestling as well. All in all, I'm pretty average proportionally with a little extra thickness. Besides, I ain't chubby no more.

I've never been timed in the 40. It's not that I can't run it, its just that I can't get anyone to stay long enough to time it.

Haha. So you're saying they need maybe a combination or a sundial and a calendar?

You do realize that kickers do not comprise half of the team, right?

Just because you are 5'10" it doesn't mean you have short arms. Allen Iverson is barely barely 6' and has the arms of a 6' 11" lad.

Also, you can simply widen your grip for a short arm press.

I can drop-kick. Good to 20 yds.;)

correct. I believe our kickers are only about 1/4 of the team.

Actually I'm closer to 5'11" and I'm down close to 220. This time last year I was at 267.

Of course my driver's licence says 6', 210. I used to be 6' but I ain't no more. And I damn sure ain't 210 no more, but I'm working on it.

I'd go try out for kicker if all my eligibility wasn't used up.

Do they have tryouts in the late summer/fall?

The reason I ask is I'm 6'2, but I'm only 165...I've been lifting for the better part of the semester, but I'm still very skinny...and so adding a few pounds over this semester/summer would probably be smart.

You should do it to succeed if your going to do it. Not just to say you did it.

Unless you're 6' 5" 300 lbs with quickness, or run a legit 4.4., or actually kick 60 yard field goals, or 65 yard punts with 5.0 hangtime, there's no use showing up for this stuff

If I combine all the running I have done in the last 10 years, I can run the 40 in......................
wait, I don't think I have traversed 40 yards total at running speed in the last 10 years, or maybe even since BS started coaching at OU.

Do they have a 5 yd time objective? It's about that far to my bathroom and there have been times I know I have set some kind of land speed record covering that distance.
