THE NYC SEWER SYSTEM AWARD: VERNON GHOLSTON
We may have to conduct a new offseason contest around here, beginning with this picture of Vernon Gholston: the NYC Sewer System Award for having huge, huge pipes, as the Men of Scarlet and Gray put it so eloquently.

Plumbers, take note: Vernon Gholston maintains his pipes just fine without your help.
The red ties around the elbows are over-the-top, sure. But Gholston’s got to be the Buckeyes’ first off the bus and out of the tunnel.
Nominations for your team’s own NYC Sewer System Award are open below.

Word around the camp (which means whatever pathetic piece of online babble I can find) is that Vernon Gholston is poised to have a great year. He’s our only returning D-Lineman and has always been good. Hopefully he can reach that next level this year.

NYC Sewer System Pipes? Those are more like Serving-Five-For-Armed-Robbery-And-Ain’t-Gonna-Be-Nobody’s-Bitch Pipes. You know, the kind you can only get in the prison weight room (or tOSU weight room, same difference).

For “eloquently” you meant to type “homoerotically,” right, Orson?

Barry Bonds Little Brother Dept:
Not to bring in steroids, the Clear, human growth hormone, flaxseed oil, blah, blah, blah, but it seems like there is some sort of connection there with these jokers and chemical enhancers……(or at least that is what I tell my babe when these types of issues come up).

From Arizona State, junior Keegan Herring. Not bad for a Pac-10 backup running back.

And of course an honorable mention to alum Barry Bonds, although you’d never know it from this picture.

If we are taking all-time, then I’ve never seen a human that could compare to Anthony Munoz and his 24 inch biceps. I’ve seen very few people with that much muscle on their legs.

easy, former UGA & now current New England TE, Ben Watson. Dude was always the first one off the bus. Runs a true 4.4 40 (chased down Champ Bailey from behind in the nfl playoffs) and was the strongest guy on the team in college in just about every category. FREAK.

Sorry guys, just not into “pipes” or other aspects of the male anatomy except my own.

Miss Moss/White Stripes & Click Clack on the Arm Stuff Dept.:
Gentlemen, to get our man card back, after going through this thread, I recommend the following:
Super-Duper-Uber Model – Kate Moss dancing to a White Stripes song – “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself”
(I think Ms. Moss was off cocaine during this video. She is simply awesome, alpha babe, even if her boobs could be bigger)
