    The player weights shown in the GEICO handout, if at all accurate, suggest either that some serious iron is being pumped or that some of our guys should stop supersizing their meals. Etch, once a svelte 165-70 pounds, is listed as 5'9" 190! Ali Curtis is an inch taller but the same weight. Rimando is 5'10" 201 and Nelson, once listed at about 180-85 is now 196. Even David Stokes seems to have put on 10-15 pounds since he was drafted. Does DCU need a dietician?

    Honestly, did anyone ever consider El Diablo "svelte?"

    No vertical leap. None.

    Speaking of which, props to DCU for those posters. Very professional-looking and the wall chart with room for the League, Open Cup and playoff results is a great idea.

    Wow, don't know if that's true but very interesting. You like to see players with some muscle on them, but 5'9" 190 just sounds overweight. Those ideal height/weight charts say a man with a large frame at 5'9" should be 155-176.

    Do the height/weight charts take into account a large mullet?
