I'm OCD about details -- Denard got new shoes.
October 4th, 2010 at 5:03 PM ^
needs to capitalize on the marketing opportunity. Betcha they come out with a "Shoelace 16" model soon.
October 4th, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
Well, Adidas has the (apparently) lightest shoe on the market right now and I found it funny that Denard wasn't wearing it. Until now -- pretty sure those are them. I thought ESPN mentioned on Gameday that Denard couldn't get new shoes because Adidas had to custom make them with the velcro.
October 4th, 2010 at 5:25 PM ^
I think ESPN said that they had to take them to a local cobbler to get the velcro put on any new pair. Looks like an Adidas logo on the velcro so that may have changed.

Denard also wore those new adidas for the Bowling Green game.

The NCAA wouldn't allow that.

if he's 5 yards behind Denard in this photo, how far behind will he be when Denard scores?

When does Train A leave the station and which way is the wind blowing?
October 4th, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
Did you mention the A-Train? Could you imagine him in the backfield with Denard? Yikes. That would be one crazy combination of speed and power!
October 4th, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
I prefer to take the bullet train and get there fast - I take the Dee-train. (See? See what I did there?)

In another dimension because Denard bends time with his speed and pure 100% columbian awesomeness.
October 4th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
is not bent by speed, spacetime causes space to appear curved by matter. Duh....
October 4th, 2010 at 5:15 PM ^
pretty much the exact opposite of that pic from last year of Kovacs and Floyd trying to run down Willis.
October 4th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
This thread has the exact same subject as my previous response to a post earlier this morning title "Indian fans behavior" - I pasted this same photo and attributed thoughts to each of the Indiana defenders chasing Denard. Of course, the mods took that thread down since it was a duplicate of a previous thread from yesterday so I have no evidence with which to prove my copyright infringement claim against Firstbase. Damn you, Firstbase and mods! (I jest, of course)

I recommend the double creamed Brie

What wine do you like with that cheese? (Get what I did there, Mr. Cheesy Cheeserton?)
October 4th, 2010 at 5:25 PM ^
Dude, it's Indiana, give them a break.
October 4th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
Them shoes weren't made for walkin'; hell, they don't look like they spend too much time on the ground at top speed...
October 4th, 2010 at 5:40 PM ^
This question was asked by my friend.
In a 100 yard race endzone to endzone, how much of a head start to you need to beat DROB?
Curious to know I ran a 4.8 in high school, although that was almost a decade ago. I think I need 30-35 yards with a photo finish. Which is said that I need a third of the field.
I admire the kid from IU for running it out. I would have given up.
October 4th, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
Assuming neither 40 time is FAKE!...
You can't really do this, but for simplicity let's pro-rate Denard's 4.3 and OP's 4.8 to 100 yards. (typically a true 100 yard time will be much less than a pro-rated 40 time). And let's further assume the 40 times are in full football attire (I know).
Denard covers 100 yards in 10.75 seconds, and OP covers in 12 seconds. OP would need to run 10.5% shorter distance 1-(10.75/12) to have a tie. Meaning, OP would need just a 10.5 yard head start.
Of course, Denard probably has more stamina than OP, and has a better translated 100 time. How slow would you need to be in the 100 to need a 35 yard head start? Again assuming Denard runs a 10.75 hundred, you'd have to run a 16.5 second 100, or a por-rated 6.6 40, to need a 35 yard head start.

I was told there'd be no math . . . My head hurts.

I always thought it was Chevy Chase who played Pres. Ford on SNL. Come to find out, it was Sacha Baron Cohen all along.

Well done.
