USC is either being more honest with its heights/weights or two players shrunk: Tight end Ethan Rae went from 6-5 to 6-3. Cornerback Ceyair Wright went from 6-2 to 6-1. Perhaps this is a byproduct of sports information director Tim Tessalone retiring.

Take it easy Scott. Tim wasn’t lying about player heights or weights. Back in Tim’s time measuring tapes and scales weren’t as accurate as they are now…..

How true, Michael, it is amazing how much measuring devices have improved since COVID arrived in town, except how to measure who had it and who did not have it.
That, and there is also a tendency for footballers to exaggerate their size so as to intimidate the opposition.

Exactly, John. Back in the day (meaning up till last week), the Athletic Department was forced to accept players at their word (due to the insufficiency of independent measuring devices). But now (meaning this week) everything has changed…and more accurate information is available.

We need to get Fauci on the Georgia Southern roster, the village idiot could boost him up to 5’4″, 135 lbs. “I just love Dr. Fauci, he brings so much enthusiasm and wisdom to the position of long snapper. He might even be as good as Toa.”

Oooooh, Eddie, that is hitting below the belt, my man.
I am on record as not getting into politics, but I believe the Democrats (so-called liberals) and the Republicans (so-called conservatives) have taken turns turning this country upside down.
