The Rest of the Story-Tech's Starting QB for 2013 SMU Opener

[mrydel]

Wrestlers do it all the time but I have not seen it with football players.

I was a wrestler and did some crazy things to make weight. Nothing says fun like jumping jacks in a rubber suit in the steamroom. But, I don't recall anyone trying to lose more than 30 pounds in a week.

30 may be closer to correct. I worked with some All American wrestlers from Okie State and Oklahoma years ago and they would tell stories of how much weight they would lose in a short period and then put it all back on between the weigh in and match.

I only carry a buck 70 and regularly lose 7-8 lbs just working out and doing yard work on a Saturday summer day in Charleston (with heat index usually in 110 range) but losing 45 lbs over 3 days unless you are carrying 300 strikes me as really dangerous

It is my understanding that the rules in HS have been changed to prevent kids from doing dangerous things to make weight. Unfortunately, there have been a few fatalities.

sounds like an onion story.
impossible to lose that much weight in 3 days and live to tell about it. does he say how heaven looked.

I don't know how this is possible but projected Tech starter Davis Webb lost 45 pounds in 1 week in Fall drills prior to SMU game in 2013. That's why SMU got its big lucky break to play against a walkon true freshman QB. The rest is history

When I got home tonight, I remembered that my 3.5 year old daughter weights about 40 lbs. There is no way to lose that much weight in 1 week without an amputation.

I call BS. No way he loses that kind of weight in 3 days. I'm guessing those new high tech measuring magic machines were too complicated for him.

Maybe he has crohns?
