CoachChuckDickerson Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Back in high school (10 years ago) I was considered very fast. The best I ran was a 4.7. Its a lot harder than you think.
R. Rich Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Back in high school (10 years ago) I was considered very fast. The best I ran was a 4.7. Its a lot harder than you think. 260952[/snapback] Exactly. I have a cousin who is on the Michigan State football team. He also ran hurdles in high school (won 2 state titles in the 110 hurdles), and his recorded 40 time at Mich. State is 4.5! Running 4.8 is very tough. Now, imagine someone as big as the late Reggie White being able to do it, which he was. Scary, isn't it?
justnzane Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 didn't Jose Conseco run a 4.1 261029[/snapback] only after shooting up the roids and then taking some LSD
Mikie2times Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Have any of you people actually run a 40? I'd be willing to bet that there are very few, if any, members of this board that can run a 4.82 40. 260521[/snapback] I was electronically timed at Bowling Greens football camp at 4.75 and 4.77. That was when I was in peak condition about 6 years ago. Now I could probably barely crack 5 seconds.
justnzane Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 good point. most people are not in top shape anymore. I don't think too many other people on the board besides me can brag about runnin a 4.85 after finishing a 5 mile run.
bills_fan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I have run the 40, we used it for HS football. I ran it every year. I was a QB. My best time, after I had worked out & ran all summer to get ready for my senior year, was 5.15. 4.86 is a damn good time for a normal human, not so good for an NFL RB. I'd be willing to bet that noone on this board could break 4.86 in the 40.
stevestojan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I would love to test this out at next year's tailgate. Anyone who thinks they can beat MC's time, we should set up a 40y dash next to Lot1,Pole6. For the obvious terrible "track" conditions, I'll even give you a couple tenths of a second. I'm still betting anyone who says they could beat MC can't even crack 5.0.
R. Rich Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Oh yeah, this could be hysterical. This might be a good time to get an extra memory card for the camera.
stevestojan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 steve, i'll take that challenge 261172[/snapback] Home opener: Lot1, Pole6 - 40yards. 5.0 seconds. The last time I went to a tailgate. I played washer toss against a friend. I beat him 3-0 and we played for a beer each game. He obviously owed me three beers, but I told him we would be even for one beer if he brough it to me and said "Here is your beer, sir". He chose to buy me three beers. If we happen to be sitting close, I'll happily bet you 3 beers on that 5.0 seconds. If not, I think $20 sounds fair. You can pick the spot in the parking lot.

Tux of Borg Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 steve, i'll take that challenge 261172[/snapback] i'm in...
