witesoxfan Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

beautox Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
