The Genius of Tommie Harris

[JoeDaSchmoe]

"When I was in the fourth grade, I was kind of fat, (and weighed) something like 155 pounds. And I was playing in a league where the (weight) limit was 150 pounds. So I put myself into a trash bag, ran around in it, figuring that I would lose weight by sweating it off. It didn't work, though, because my mother found out. She thought I was crazy and made me stop." -- Oklahoma defensive tackle Tommie Harris, at the combine, when asked how much he loves playing football

:lol1:

That just goes to show how hard it is to get into Oklahoma

Actually, what Harris did is a very well known and highly used tactic within Pop Warner circles. At least it was when I was playing football back then. And I must say, it worked more often then not.

Well now he needs to do the opposite. He's up to 292 now and could be worth our second first rounder if he adds just a little more. Remember Corey Simon was in the top 10 and came out weighing 293. Who would object to having Corey Simon?

Hey BC I heard he was up to 296.

Are you trying to tell us you used to run around with a trash bag over your head???
