Mercury: Burton expects to play next year, not redshirt..

[LickNeckey]

As a townie can he participate in spring ball prior to hs graduation?

Lockett is so B.A.

My roommate works in athletic training and was in charge of recording numbers for the "combine-esque" workout today.

Lockett: 4.37

Burton: 4.41

Both electronically timed.

That doesn't suck.

Maybe Lockett jettisoned a kidney (excess weight)

When I first saw the thread title at first I thought his name was Mercury Burton. That would be great. Is that his name?

It is now.

Casting my vote for this to be his official goEMAW nickname. Mercury Burton blows Scoop Jardine out of the water.

i don't think you could lock our best and brightest in a room and come up with a name so fitting.

Mercury Burton has a very nice ring to it.  It looks as though you have given Deante his nickname.  Do I get five percent credit for writing the subject line?

If Locket's 40 time is 4.37, his 60 yard time must be about 8 seconds. That guy got ran down more on long runs than Jerry Sandusky chasing small children.

What are you talking about.  The only one I can think of where he truly got caught from behind was the 80 yard punt return in the 4th quarter of the OSU game and he did that with a lacerated kidney.

shivvy's post is what we refer to in the sports message board posting as a FAIL.  Lockett beat a florida state sprint champ to the end zone vs. Texas Tech.  He was caught once this year (OSU) likely due to playing in that game with a lacerated kidney.

Shouldn't he have scored before the half of the KU game?  Or was it just cause he cut back when he didn't need to? I don't remember.

Once he realized it was unlikely he would score, he knelt down for a field goal. Didn't want to run all the time off the clock in case he didn't make it. IIRC, a guy came across the field.

Yeah, I think he lost where the defender was. IMO, he could have scored.

Quit with the Lockett comparisons and think about this:

We're talking about a townie who didn't camp at all the right places and didn't have a Brian Butler to set up a pay-per-view website.  The measurables are similar...maybe better.
