Sam Harvill tonight on PBS Frontline

[Boakai]

Frontline is doing some expose on health risks in H.S. football. From the preview it looks like Harvill will be depicted as a maniac with little disregard for his own well being. TBD whether or not it shows him being awesome at football, but I'm optimistic. Might be worth tuning in for.

Yeah, that'd be awesome.  Hopefully there's a segment on him bending a frying pan with his own arms and then eating the pan or something along those lines.

Sam can lift the rock that is too big for God to move.

would be nice if it was Hiva Lutui, Vai's cousin.  That guy is a meatheadesque devastating run blocking 2012 guard prospect.

Wasn't Morgan Burns from Trinity?

My thoughts were that this was actually footage of Harvill at Shiloh injected into general B-roll clips of weight lifting while the narrator talked about what was going on at Trinity High. The magic of media!

But to be honest I'm completely basing his similar appearance to Harvill off of the beard.

legitimate question: if you looked like that would you take pictures of yourself like that?

my first thought when i see pictures like that is, "eh, kind of a tool..."   but then i put myself in their shoes... and i just dont know.

I'd prolly have my pants off too

[Scary Smart]

Not going to lie, every time I see the name Harvill I instantly think of Haverhill and it pisses me off. Hope that this kid is good enough to make up for his shitty name.

The Ozark Hillbillies?

RECAP:

The show obviously focused on health risks that todays bigger, faster, harder hitting H.S. kids endure. I'll just footnote some points of interest.

- No interview conducted with Harvill, but lots of camera time of him looking jacked and wearing various Cats gear. Also occasional footage of him screaming a lot.

- Aside from smearing his face with that black stuff he also wears eye strips with powercats on 'em.

- His family is actually from Missouri and they rent a place in Arkansas so that he can be eligible to play for Shiloh.

- Keihl Frazier showed his giant Rubbermaid bin full of correspondence and scholly offers. Just in the few glimpses they showed you could see how much crap Auburn sent to him. Just heaps of Auburn mail. In the mix was a Purple envelope with a powercat on it. Also a letter from Randy Shannon (whups) and a KU offer.

- Shiloh, despite being the dominant force in Arkansas H.S. football, attempted to match up with Texas giant Trinity High and got blown out of the building 80-20 or something like that. Harvill was carried out on a stretcher with full body cramps and Frazier was shut down. Blatantly showed just how big the talent gap is from Texas to the rest of the country.

- Trinity has or had a 200+ player roster  seems ridiculous.

- Ozark Hillbillies

So what's the big deal at Trinity?  Are they implying it is all Nebrasky in the 90's with tons of roids or what?

Tiger blood and cheating.  Lots and lots of cheating.  Do we recruit them?

Are those pecs or tits?  I really cannot decide.

[goCats101]

Anyone else think Sam's face looks a little like Bobby Hill's?

[jtksu]

I bet it's hard to bbs while you're smoking rock.

No.  Absolutely not.  While roids may turn great players into superstars they also turn mediocre high school football players into marginal to mediocre D-1 prospects.  If this Harvill kid is on roids (90% chance), he'll probably never see the field.  At best, he will be backing up Tate Snyder. (1% chance Tate takes roids)
