May 2, 200718 yr 6'5" isnt all that tall, but my dad is 6'6" so maybe im just used to it. damn him for marrying a woman who is 5'4" and i got stuck with 6'1"!
May 2, 200718 yr QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ May 2, 2007 -> 08:36 AM) At 6'5" your just tall, but on the same token there are people who are short, too. I just think, hey that guys pretty tall and think nothing more about. But at school when I see 6'5" guys who are big (athletically big) I think I bet he is an O-lineman. actually, for athletically big guys, I think DLine right away. For rounder, less lean guys I see OLine. Maybe that's what I get for going to a D2 (going on D1AA) school.

May 2, 200718 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:50 PM) This thread assured me of something. That I never want to meet Critic. I've met him on numerous occasions. Keep with your train of thought, you'll be much better for it.
May 2, 200718 yr Jeez, I was just trying to make conversation..... QUOTE(Iwritecode @ May 2, 2007 -> 12:15 PM) I remember reading once that the average height for a human has gone up over the years. It said that the average man today wouldn't fit in an average-sized suit of armor from the medevil times. I dunno about the suit of armor, but I know I'd have a hell of a time trying to squeeze into the old-time codpieces.
May 2, 200718 yr Jealousy. I hate being short. When we were kids, my sister wanted to be short and I wanted to be tall. Well, she is 5'10 and I am 5'3 lol.

I think I'm just under 5'10". Which is quite amazing considering my parents are both around 5'5". I'm taller than pretty much everyone on my dad's side of the family.
May 2, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(Steve9347 @ May 2, 2007 -> 02:31 PM) = SoxFan1's pops!? My pops is about 6'0 even. Only tall people in my family are a couple of my dad's cousins, who are about 6'10. Edited May 2, 200718 yr by SoxFan1
May 3, 200718 yr I'm 6'4 and that O line comment was right on target. my brother is 6'11 and my shortest brother is 6'1. My mother was also rather tall for a woman at 6'1
May 3, 200718 yr I don't think 6'5" is really tall (I'm 6'4", and I don't consider myself tall), but my dad is 6'8" and my brother is 6'7", so I grew up with height in the family. I guess I don't really think about it when I see a tall person, other than "hey, they are about as tall as my dad".
