i mean, my god.
"I'm just trying to be the best Collin Klein I can possibly be," Klein said, "and then to give back with the ability the Lord has given me. It's a new challenge. The priorities haven't changed, but the landscape is different."

Tucks will demand a statue of him be presented at the end of the season to be the welcoming statue inside the new expansion facility. It will go in the atrium area and will span all floors in height.

Collin Klein was born to a family of bluebirds in a meadow on top of a mountain.

That's what you do for your first Heisman winner.

Do you guys think Tebow calls him like once a week, or more often?

Retire his jersey at the CTR
-
This sounds powertardy, but I don't care: We really are very lucky to have a guy like Klein be our quarterback. He has completely,completely, bought into the Snyder Doctrine.
-
Don't apologize for loving Collin Klein. He is a complete badass.
-
Yeah, the last thing I'm ever going to feel bad about is loving our Tebow clone stud QB.
-
You guys remember when I basically said this exact same thing before last season started. F3 and I were all over this.

This year is basically like free money in a casino
Have not been as excited about a QB (Sams) since the ELL days

How about a statue of Klein on one side and Arthur on the other?
-
We'll all excited about Sams but the fact is he will likely never have a better season than CK did last year. Enjoy CK this year (with a dash of Sams thrown in) and look forward to Sams in January.

Beasley went through a similar phase. He was always throwing god damn bounce passes during his first season.
I expect Kleiny to be every bit as good as Beasley.
OB is going to open the playbook for Kleiny Coff this year.
Tim Tebow type stuff here, guys.
Correct.
Kleiny this year will be a LOT like Beasley. You'll see some fake-option passing (remember that beauty that he tossed for a TD in Boulder), they have to bite on it.
We have already seen Kleiny throw this exact same pass ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O82DyNdB7iY ), cept now he'll be tossing it to Harper and/or Sams (yes, Sams).
After Kavs left, Snyder completely switched to yards per completion as his measuring stick for the passing game. He was to nail you deep every once in a while. Partly because you can get a big play that changes the momentum of the game, but mostly because it keeps those DB's back there and gives his QB options for running like a bagillion times more a game.
:users:
-
Giant bust of CK where adoring fans can rub his moles for good luck. Maybe a water fountain in the shape of his elbow that dispenses red kool-aid.
-
Even though I don't get down with his religion, I have to commend him for the tremendous focus.
Hell, that focus is probably why he's so good.
-
:tuckingpants: Love, love, love the crap out of this dude. He rough ridin' cares and will do anything for wildcat faithful. He's his own product. He took in the snyder system, but a home school kid like this had too motivate himself from day one. So blessed.

Nice. Love reading old threads.

It didn't hurt that he probably outworked them all, in all of his pursuits. When he was 10, Collin had a successful lawn-mowing business. He kept meticulous records of expenses and income
When I was 10 me and my friends spent like half a summer designing and perfecting a game that mostly involved us throwing rocks at eachother. Used to ride our bikes out to this field and set things on fire. Sometimes we'd throw apples at cars and run

We had something pretty similar. Also used to go down in my cousins unfinished basement and throw tennis balls at eachother in the dark.

ok, imagine that same unfinished basement but with the lights on, 4 big wheels, and an elaborate obstacle course race track inspired by mario cart.

I would play that game this afternoon if someone set it up.

Now that I think about it, like 90% of our games involved throwing things at eachother.

fwiw, you throw things at each other in big wheel basement cart as well.

Let me guess, if you hit someone while rounding the bases, they were called "out"?

no, there are no bases. you just try to knock them off their big wheel or knock them off course so they have to go back around and on the right side of the track obstruction. I think you may be mixing this game up with indoor ping pong homerun derby where outs are determined by strike outs exclusively. listen, I'm going to have to draw up some official rules.
-
At 10 I took the decorative outer shell off my R/C car and added a little cockpit for my hamster. Stuffed him in there and drove him around, jumped off ramps, spun donuts, etc. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head.

Oh, I thought you were elaborating on your ping pong baseball game; I was envisioning someone getting a hit, climbing on their big wheel, and trying to round the bases while fielders also on big wheels try to peg him with something hard.
-
ping pong homerun derby is a living room game while big wheel basement cart is, obviously, a basement game.

I hope he didn't get hurt, emo.

Having an unfinished basement is the best thing ever for a young boy. We did the race track thing and the tennis ball thing while mixing in a game where everyone has a rubber band gun with a red laser pointer taped on that has to be on at all times, in the dark.

Yeah was pretty devastated when my parents started finishing the basement. But my fears were put to rest when my friends and I converted the newly carpeted basement into our dojo/best of the best 2 reenactment center.

I now have a good reason to not finishing the rest of my basement. T-Y, goEMAW.com

At 10 I increased the armor of my RC car and added nail/screw drivers.
Friends and I would set up a ring of bricks in the driveway and play battle bots.
I didnt start a successful lawn mowing business until i was 16.

I played war as a child. My brother and I would build massive forts out of toy blocks. First we picked blocks one at a time in an alternating fashion. Then, we built forts. Next, we divided the army guys that we had by selecting in alternating fashion. We then placed the army guys in our forts. Now, the war began. We took turns throwing pool balls at each other's fort trying to knock over the army guys. You had to set behind your fort to throw the ball across the room at the other guy's fort. Once you killed an army guy (knocked him over) then he was removed. The game continued until one of us had no more army guys alive.
I'll bet CK would have been awesome at war, probably way better than Tebow.

Couldn't you knock over all of them at once with a pool ball? A pool ball is pretty sturdy. Also, was this an inside or outside game. No way my mom would let us throw pool balls inside, and no way my dad would let us scratch up the pool balls by throwing them outside.

We played in our basement. We had two old couches that we would set a few feet behind the forts to catch any errant throws. Our basement was finished, but not very nice. My dad didn't really play pool. We had two sets of pool balls, so we used the old ones for war. In regards to knocking them over on one throw, you are not grasping the size of the forts and the number of soldiers that were hidden within the forts. I would estimate that the forts were 1 foot tall, two feet wide, and 2 feet deep.

I grew up on a farm. Full parental supervision, but they didn't care too much about what we did in the basement. Why do you think I am a Latchkey kid, and is that bad?

Farm AND unfinished basement... :eek:...I'm jealous...I bet you had all kinds of cool stuff to play with/do. Please tell me you and your bro had riding lawnmower races.

lol at crcoop for thinking a laser is better than a pool ball. It is okay to admit that you really wish you had throw hundreds of pool balls as hard as can at a fort made out of blocks.

Just seemed like you probably had the run of the place. Not a bad thing, IMO. I grew up somewhat sheltered, not really allowed to learn on my own. So college was a crap show.
