OSU - Scary

[HooperScooper]

I hope this guy isn't in uniform on December 10. Those watching the game might not be the same.

I guess they celebrate Halloween early out there

Since I am probably closer to his age than yours, it's not that bad. Just hope you can put on those duds at that age when you reach it.
Mind you our coach could probably spot him 20 in a game of 1 on 1 to 21 and still win it, so what are we concerned about again?

(And yes, I dropped 30 lbs to be able to hike this past summer. I made all 80 miles or so in the 7 days I allotted, and came through fine. Hoping next year to tackle the Wonderland Trail as it has been on the radar for a long time and 60 is quickly approaching... we all die at 60 right?)

 

[Waquoit]

Watch out for that Old Man strength.

 

[Kitaman]

In Coach's defense if you hide his head he doesn't look that bad for his age.

I bet he could manhandle Brimah under the glass.

Thad Matta looks like a fraggle rock character with a W.C. Field's nose.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

He's only 49. He's looked 60 since he was 40.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Full kit wanker

that right eyebrow up almost looks like it was a surprise candid photo. Wonder if he sneaks into the locker room after all the games and tries on the sweaty uni's? Are we even sure that's the men's locker room? Just sayin

That's exactly what I was thinking. In fact, I thought it was one of those gimmick cutout photography things where you stick just your head through.

S***, I didn't believe you so I looked it up, and somehow, he is 49.

Honest to God, when I opened this thread and saw only the photo without the caption, I thought it was John Havlicek. "Why is this old guy dressing up in an OSU jersey? Must be a famous alum" was my thought process.

(Havlicek is 76, for those wondering).

He and Greg Oden are like peas in a pod. When they were together in 2007, Oden was 19 going on 40, and Matta was 39 going on 60.

Seriously, Thad Matta was 39 the year OSU went to the championship game. Unbelievable.

A male buttaface I guess.

He's only 49????? Holy , some people really do get the short end of the stick.

Then again, he's a multimillionaire basketball coach at a major D1 program...

I'm 49 , I look 20 times worse.

That's because you never eat ketchup. It has the same effect as HGH. See what you're missing?

 

[superjohn]

Ha

I'm 49 , I look 20 times worse.

Ha, no you don't. Matta is allowed to ride The Joker though.

No, we don't die at 60. But living can be pretty tough. You'll have aches and pains you never had before. And your golf game goes right to the red tees.

Maybe but I'm certain your extracurriculars were a hell of a lot different from Matta's over the years.

Speak for yourself. 60 and can still bomb 260 yds.

But I do have to piss more often.
