"Yep coach, he sure was." Then enjoy the look on the coach's now more baffled face.

Me: "Yeah, I'd say he was between 5 and 6 feet, but I'd need the game tape and a mathematician to be more precise than that."

so it is imprinted vividly upon my brain. especially since I (being the R) had to fill out the paperwork for the T and send it in on Monday, So I just cut and past it into the post.

You know that's 8 minutes & 37 seconds right? Judging from the knowledgeable posts you contribute to the forum, I'm thinking you aren't putting up with this for a quarter & some change. But correct me if I'm wrong :D

No coach, he was more like 5'11" away!
