Badger is back

[notredomer23]

He will be ready to enroll for the june summer semester per twitter

apparently has lost 10 pounds, but has grown an inch. I think he could be a special teams stud this year.

Welcome back, Chris.

From one mission to the next.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

In college I played against BYU and UTAH players (22 yo frosh)...this extra time Badger had on his mission has him more mature mentally and physically. He will open some eyes.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Welcome back. Hopefully he can make a difference from day one. He's got 4 years of eligibility left, right?

Yes he has 4 years left.

His video kind of reminds me of Ryan Clark... just delivers punishing hits over the middle. Got to love it

He's got 4 years of eligibility and still has a 5 year clock. Missions do not count against either.

In December '11, in the Badger Profile, there's an article where his brother Troy noted Chris weighed 190, down 10 pounds from pre-mission weight of 200.

I am super excited for Badger. The kid is a ball hawk and can lay the hammer. I really believe we will see him work his way into some serious playing time as the season moves along.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Can't wait.

 

[die4irish]

Really waiting on this kid. He is going to be a monster.

Hopefully without the whiffing he does far too often when trying to make the highlight reel instead of making a proper tackle.

Jim Leonard 2.0

Sounds good to me.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I wish Chris the best. We need an heir apparent to the big hammer when Slaughter is gone.

I didn't see any whiffs on the highlight reel. What is the sarcasm font again?

I think he was referring to Ryan Clark whiffing, not Badger.

Give me Tommy Z 2.0 and I'll be bouncing off the walls happy.

 

[Emcee77]

He wrecks running backs twice his size in those videos. What a beast. So excited to get him on the field.

 

[johnnykillz]

Badger hits with bad intentions.

I had a Mormon room mate at Mccllelan . Dude was the same way about sports. He was the nicest guy, and then it was time to compete...

Good stuff.

 

[RyCo1983]

Correct you are sir!
I can't tell you how many Steelers fans I run around with that hate that about Clark.
I'm quite confident that Badger will not have the same problem.

 

[JughedJones]

Very excited.

I think we're going to do better this season than people are thinking.

 

[NDhoosier]

I think he will get those 10 lbs back... Wouldnt surprise me to see him gain 15 or more lbs, especially if it is true that he has gained an inch. should be quite a best physically.

He may be able to play like a beast, but if any of you know about Bob Sander's career, if you dont have the body, you wont have a very long career if you play like that.

I think 15lbs is conservative, he lost 10lbs with no training diet, or weights or....LONGO. With his work ethic and dedication the sky is the limit.

You realize this conversation is no longer grounded in reality.

I think his bust has already been cast for the CFB HoF and I do believe he is on the top of the ballot for the Heisman right now.......
