Pictures have been posted!

I have posted pictures from the combine to the right on this blog. Please take a look. I have included a few pictures in this blog including:

1. The presentation of the trophy to Mr. Irrelevant, Joe Milligan
2. Me keeping the Autism fundraising keg stand tradition alive
3. Our 2nd place finisher (Drew Stemen) with his award.....a growler at Barley's
4. A group picture of all of the participants.
5. The presentation of the trophy to the champion, Jason Dray

We look forward to seeing you at the 6th Annual Cornhole Tournament this fall.

Results have been posted!

I am more sore today then I was yesterday. I felt like a 60 year old man when I crawled out of bed. Please see the link on the right of this blog to see the overall results as well as the results for each individual event.

I also included some notable results from this year's NFL Combine to compare our results to those of the pros. I think this says a lot for how great of athletes college and NFL football players really are. In most cases you will see that I posted the 10th best offensive lineman's results in the 2010 combine. And in most cases that guy is faster, can jump higher, etc. than most of us that participated - even though they all weigh over 300 lbs.

Thanks again to everyone. Not only was it a successful event in terms of raising money, but I think everyone involved had a great time.

As always, if you could not make it this past weekend and would still like to contribute, please see the link on the right of the blog to make a donation. We will see you all in late summer / early fall for the 6th Annual Cornhole Tournament.

I will post the pictures sometime this week.

Wow! The Inaugural Combine for Autism was a HUGE success!

I would like to thank everyone for helping to make the Inaugural Combine for Autism a HUGE success! The rain held off until we finished all of the events. In all, we had 19 competitors (20 including Brady). I will post detailed results and pictures soon. At the end of the day, the overall winner was Jason Dray - who finished in first place in 4 of the 7 events. The Mr. Irrelevant (last place) trophy went to my step-brother Joe Milligan (Brady was not eligible for the Mr. Irrelevant trophy). Thanks for being a good sport Joe. We raised a total of $675 from the event and an additional $45 has been donated directly on our Walk Now for Autism site for a total of $720.

In addition to all of the participants and donators, I would like to thank the following people for their help during the event:

- Chris Donovan (for us of his bench and weights)
- Dustin Gardner & Mike Casasanta - our event officials and time keepers
- Katie Casasanta, Kasey Friesner, and anyone else who kept an eye on Delaney during the event
- Justin and Kasey Friesner for coordinating pizza order and all the other help in coordinating / recruiting for the event
- John Pelzer for ruining my self esteem forever by beating me in the 40

To keep the tradition alive with the Cornhole Tournament, I also knocked out a nice 15 second keg stand at the end of the night. I am planning on icing down my hammys, hips, and knees for the next week in order to complete the half marathon on May 1. I find myself getting more sore by the minute. I hope to have results posted later today.

Rich Eisen 40 Yard Dash Video

You all have to see this. Hilarious! My new goal is to just beat Eisen's 40 time of 6.25 seconds.

I decided to start the combine at 3:30pm since many of you might want to attend the OSU spring game, which starts at 1:30pm on 4/24. Please meet at my house, but we will walk down to the Grandview Heights football field to do an event or 2. I hope you all can make it!

Fear me!
