Take a flying leap

Every once in a while someone tells me to take a flying leap… ok, more than once in a while :)

If I had this kids hops I’d take that a little more literal…

For those of you who haven’t ever walked onto a football field or don’t understand how far 5 yards is try this out – stand up and take 5 really long steps, now turn around and see how far you went – should be about 5 yards. He should probably be a long jumper or high jumper because not only did he get some distance, he also got a lot of height if you go back and look at the video.

Very cool. High school football has changed a lot in the last 2 decades :)

Pro football game… meh. College football is finally here!

One of my workout buddies went to the Falcons vs Ravens football game last night in the ATL.  The only reason I even bothered to flip on the game was the off chance of seeing him and his son on the big screen. He sent me this picture of his tickets to rub it in, but the only thing I saw on them was the price… wow, I haven’t been to a pro game in a while and from those prices I don’t think I’ll go anytime soon.  Then again, he probably didn’t buy the cheap seats :)

That and because a former Bama player, Julio Jones, is ready to bust out on the pro scene… just wish he would have come back to the Tide one more season, but I would have done the same thing.

I don’t really care about pro ball, but really enjoy college football and it is finally here and I am really looking forward to watching a few games tomorrow. 

Planning on going to the Alabama game so I’ll end up catching the late games on TV.  Weird to say there are some critical games tomorrow for national championship game implications, but with LSU vs Oregon and Georgia vs Boise St there really are.  If Oregon or Boise State win they will have a rebuttal for their weaker schedule even though I don’t expect Georgia to be any good with a 4th string running back and no depth so it won’t help them as much as a win by Oregon for their own chances. 

Anyone out on the quad tomorrow send me a text if you want to catch up. 

Roll Tide!
