They have fliers around campus looking for any student 6'1 230 lbs. for their Oline---pretty desperate at the U.

Is this like when we had to pull a hungover kid out of his dorm in order to have a kicker on the field?

I'd rather have to for a kicker than an OL

 

[shelbyvillevol]

I've never seen a school do that. Talk about desperate.

 

[Shaun1985]

wow.

 

[Orangesmokey]

Wow they must really be hurting!!

 

[miamicane]

its called motivation and calling some kids out

Pretty thin this year at OL. Still, I think this was put up as a joke.

- Of the highly publicized fliers around campus asking for walk-ons over 6-1 and 230 pounds to come out for the team as walkons, Golden said, "I think it's laughable that people are making a big deal about that. That happens at every program in the country. The hope is you find one or two that help us. A guy like (Nantambu) Fentress, for example. If we don't put fliers like that we don't have a story like Fentress a year ago because the kids don't understand that we're looking for that, don't believe they have access. It's an easy target, so people want to make fun of us, that's fine. I'm not a politician, looking for public approval. … it's a bunch to do about nothing."

The flier is definitely real. "We are in the market for some walk on prospects," emailed Matthew Applebaum, the video assistant whose email address is listed on the flier. He seemed a bit rankled when I told him this was how my school filled its football team-- and I went to a small Quaker school in Indiana.
