"Rutgers Football’s very own QB Athan Kaliakmanis joined us with his O-Line at TakaTakaStreetGreek last night for a feast of champions!"

Definitely want to try that place, but not heading downtown today in this sauna.

Do you know the player “ shorty”… no you didn’t. Enjoy the fact that we are bringing in some B1G players.

AngryBob will never be mistaken for Smiling Bob.
Such as shame, as he has some really solid posts, but he comes over here sometimes looking for trouble.

True and I still want to try that Greek place. I think I’m going to steal a page from Dave Portnoy’s book and rate the falafel of New Brunswick. You need goals in life.

Was it necessary to leave us with such an image? This young man treated his teammates and you now have our OL destroying the sewer system in the greater NB area.

Well I played in college and see some pics/vids differently
Seen Sean O'Hara since his playing days?
He's like a miniature of what he was he shrank so much.

Many OL work at 300+ weight and get made to eat like pate Geese with gavage feeding.
Guys wake-up in the middle of the night to have milk shakes and cupcakes.
I know from reading and also because I had to take road trips with these giant toilet killers lol.

Army had a 225lb TE end-up a 325 Pro Bowl tackle with Steelers - adding 100 lbs wasn't pretty


LATROBE, Pa. -- When Alejandro Villanueva isn't in his blocking stance, he might be holding a tray full of food or standing on a weight scale.

The magic number is 335, and the Pittsburgh Steelers' Pro Bowl tackle is five pounds away. Getting there by Week 1 will leave him in a constant state of discomfort.

"It’s terrible," the 6-foot-9 Villanueva said about his weight-gain process. "I would say it’s harder than losing weight because you feel gross."

Not Rutgers related, but I saw Jim Burt 5-6 years after he retired from the NFL. My guess would be 225.

Yeah, many of these guys totally remake their bodies because they know they won’t live too long in the typical NFL OL body after they retire.

Indeed - some guys are naturally thick and good athletes.
Some others have to adopt extreme methods.
A lot of OL remind me of sumo wrestlers and their chanko nabe stew diets.

All-Pro Tristan Wirfs is (to me) one of the naturally thick and athletic OL
6' 5" 325 and running 4.85 40 dash - no lard butt

Really don’t have a clue WTF you’re talking about. If anyone is drunk or on drugs you starting your antagonistic BS posting is more the issue. You and the other two need to get a room together.
