Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

IM IN! I got four years... Why wouldnt MB/CK want a short, slow, 35 year old white guy with no skills?!? But I did kick FG's for my JV football team back in 1991...

Cool! Will they pay for my knee to be repaired at the Slocum Center so I can be comfortable while riding the pine?

If I ever did get in the game, I could work with the kickers... As a tee!

I bet that there is at least 1 poster on this board that is a solid athlete and could at least impress the coaches. Rudy made it, so you never know!!!!!!

The tryouts are really kind of lame. They consist of running the 40 doing a shuttle run.

I'll be there.

Ha, I might be physically able to try out (6'4" 190lbs), but I only played a couple years of football.

If this was baseball on the other hand, I'd definitely give it a shot. Because I played basketball all my life up until my soph year in HS because of arm problems.

Rudy played for ND & we see what they've done the last 20 years.

Wow, 6'4" 190lb, not bad!! Go for it, TK, we will all be routing and cheering for you as you out of the tunnel into Autzen! What do you have to lose? After that you can try out for the basketball team, it sounds like they really need help!!

Surely you can beat a 6.32/40, TK?

Hey TK I found this!:

Heck, if this guy can play college basketball, albeit juco, I think that you should try out to be a walk on for the Ducks! But, just pass all your classes!

You have to be a current student. Have you guys matriculated lately?

I'm only 5'5 130 lbs but I bet at 30 I can still run a sub 5 40. Maybe even sub 4.8 right now. However one hit from TJ Ward and I'd get folded worse than Zac Robinson in the holiday bowl.

I played college baseball for 2 years before changing my major and transferring. I'm 6' 195lb. i could probably squeak out a sub 5 40... but to reiterate jhop's point, i would have nightmare's of tj ward repeatedly destroying my spinal cord.

Haha, very true. I heard about that story. Strange.

I wish I played football in HS, but it wasn't meant to be. I think I'll settle for running this site and going to college for school.

Had I been built like I was at the age of 40 (5'11/190/12% body fat... At 55, those days are long gone) when I graduated from HS, instead of 128 lbs soaking wet, I would have thought it was worth a shot.

Of course, the prospect of a head shot from TJ Ward should give any of us pause...
