I had my 10th wedding anniversary in 1997.....it really smacks you around mentally when you realize the kids you're watching play football are the same age as your own kids. It's a little different perspective.

Isn't that the way it usually is, though? Between bad grades, injuries, arrests, transfers, and just general attrition, I think teams usually have a lot of underclassmen and fewer older players.

The realization that people born in 1997 are now playing college football was a swift kick to my self-awareness nads.
HA! I was thinking the same thing. I was a teenager when he was born.
I still wear socks that I got in 1997.
Hahaha. Ewww
I'm wearing a 1989 US Open t-shirt right now...
Shit- I've got socks that old!
Ugh. I was in my 4th of 5 yrs as an undergrad.
Yep, that is exactly what I took away from this infographic, too. My baby brother was born in 1998... this really makes me feel old.
On a positive note Zooey Deschanel(sp) is pretty hot.
Ha I was thinking the same thing, Fall of '97 was my Freshman year at Tech...

and thats a lie Bucky Hodges is at least 8 feet 7 in
you're being really conservative with that figure too.
They're missing an asterisk in the graphic. It should note:
*Only normal human beings considered. For the purposes of this graphic, AJ Hughes, Sam Rogers, and Bucky Hodges could not be included.
The amount of underclassmen is amazing.
When we set our expectations, the talent is exciting, but this team is so so so so young.
Seems like about 2/3 of the team is frenchman and sophmores :)

13 running backs , 17 linebackers , should be able to find someone to step-up & play these positions
How do we only have 5 TEs? I guess they moved 3-4 over to QB.
I think we will be just fine between Mr Potential Malleck, Hercules Hodges, and New Cadet Cline that is a pretty solid top 3!
I realy hope Osterloh puts it all together if for no other reason then I want to see that mass of humanity on the field.
Call him Chef Osterloh when he starts making pancakes.
I knew we had a lot of RBs but I didn't know we had that many RBs
