It's hard to argue that Teindon is faster than Bob Hayes.. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/news/2002/09/19/hayes_obit_ap/ 8.6 seconds is unreal. http://youtube.com/watch?v=w9HrKZfhbCc Cannot wait to see Trindon getting the ball in space 5-10 times a game. This LSU offense has so much potential for explosiveness. The season cannot start soon enough! Brian ~Go Tigers!~
True enough, Nutriaitch, but Hayes ran the last leg of the 4x100m in 8.6 seconds. No one has bested that time over 100m. :thumb: Brian ~Go Tigers!~
I know, that's why I put the lil laughing guy in there. The best way to win an arguement, is by leaving out any facts that weaken your case.:hihi:
With all due respect, Hayes was running on those soft tracks while Trindon has the benefit of running on the synthetic hard surface. Not really fair to compare the two.
heh, yeah, I figured. Regardless though if he is or isn't the faster to ever play, he's on a very short list, and he could well help put us in contention for the national championship. It sounds like we have a lot of what Florida utilized last year at our disposable with RP coming in on certain situations for or with Flynn, as well as Trindon used as an X-Factor much like Florida used Percy Harvin.

I want to race him in the 40. Yeah I know he'd smoke me, but I don't think seeing it on TV or even in the stadium des it any justice. I want to see it 1st hand.
Bob Hayes ran a 8.6 second leg on a relay. On a relay you are timed over the 100 meter distance but it is from a running start and not at all comparable to the time you would have running a 100 meter race. If his best time was 10.05 at 100 meters and Trindons best was 10.02 then Trindons time was faster. Why is that hard to understand?
That's a great point. I'm not going to suggest that the leg of a relay is the same as the 100m from the crouching start position. However, given Hayes' speed at that time period comparative to his competition, it's hard to imagine just how fast he would be today with all of the medical science information, speed specialists, and better training routines he would have access to. That's why it is impossible to compare eras. I'm okay with saying both are incredibly fast individuals. Two of the fastest ever. If you want to say Trindon is faster, that's fine, he certainly clocked faster, but each were done in two different time periods. Brian ~Go Tigers!~
I don't think that's hard to understand at all. What's difficult to understand is how a 10.02 in a 100m track event makes TH the "fastest player in CFB history"
