But Does He Have Any Eligibility Left?

Someone get Al Groh on the horn! There's yet another stud in the Tidewater area of Virginia, and I don't think Groh should let the Tar Heels steal this one. According to his own website, the infamous televangelist Pat Robertson "can leg-press 2000 pounds!"

Just in case they change the page, here's the text today:

Did you know that Pat Robertson can leg-press 2000 pounds! How does he do it?

Where does Pat find the time and energy to host a daily, national TV show, head a world-wide ministry, develop visionary scholars, while traveling the globe as a statesman?

One of Pat's secrets to keeping his energy high and his vitality soaring is his age-defying protein shake. Pat developed a delicious, refreshing shake, filled with energy-producing nutrients.

Now, I know what you're thinking - Dave, is 2,000 pounds really that much for a leg press? Well, maybe not to God's favorite son, but as CBS Sportline points out, the Florida State football record for the leg press is held by Dan "Mr. Wizard" Kendra, at 1335 pounds. And Kendra burst capillaries in his eyes during his lift (one of several Kendra stories during this FSU career that used the word "explode").

So, send a recruiter down there, Al. Pat Robertson is a hoss (and just think how he'd fare against the Miami Hurricanes).

Dave -- I read about this on an (admittedly liberal) website (ThinkProgress.org) earlier today. I went over to read the Sportsline post and I really couldn't stop laughing -- one of the funniest things I have ever read. I was crying in my office.

That said....it looks like UVA is having an excellent recruiting season so far -- some really sick QB (#2 in in the country?) from VA and an all-purpose kid from KY. Sorry I don't have names....but, they both seem pretty excited and say that they are going to hype UVA to other recruits. Looks like that 2008 game in South Bend might be a contest after all.

Go Hoos!

Well, Groh needs to keep recruiting well. He has not turned his past recruiting successes into comparable on-field triumphs. If the recruiting falls off, he could be in real trouble.

That said, you have to think that a 76-year-old prophet with thunder thighs would make a heck of a fullback.

Today, brothers and sisters, we are going to talk about Jesus and the way to defeat the axis of evil of sin. Pencilneck-edness, geeky-ness and infirmity. By drinking my shake, you will not only receive the gift of strength that God wants you to have, but you will single-handedly be able hit home run records that put heathen, such as Babe Ruth, to shame. You will be able to kick Osama's unholy assorted brethren out from the dark corners of evil for the sake of Jesus. You may even impress others with your newly developed Body of Power so that you are elected to a high and exaulted office of the state for the glory of God. Call now, and you'll also get my pamphlets "TESTIFYING before Congress" and "WITNESSING under oath". Join me, and the church of Balco as we challenge this evil axis, and leave scrawny Satan-legs behind!
