If you think Costner is fat...

I flipped over to the UW/IU game during timeouts only to see 6'8", 300 lbs DeAndre Thomas on the court for Indiana. Thats a tub of goo!

I thought the same thing, I flipped over and saw him coming down the floor (a little late I may add) and got quite the laugh.

Nigel "Big Jelly" Dixon from f$u-someone's gotta post a picture here. At one time, I think he was 6'9" and about 350 lbs(hey, why didn't we recruit him?:D ). To his credit, I believe he 'slimmed' down to a svelte 300 lbs.

if i recall, nike had to custom make his uniform shorts and there wasn't enough room on the tag for all the "X"'s so they just called the size "Nigel".

Sounds apocryphal, but awesome if true.

That's what the talking heads said at the time.

Wow, it just sounded too much like a ya mama joke to be true.

BTW, they had to do the same thing for Wilson's mom.

I've actually watched about 4 or 5 Indiana games this year and to be honest, DeAndre Thomas is actually pretty decent. The first time I saw him come into the game, I was like "Who is that?". But he definitely provides a spark off the bench and does a good job in relief of DJ White. As a freshman he's already become the fan favorite in Bloomington.

I remember seeing him play...... quite a sight! Big Baby Glenn Davis came along later, but was smaller!!!! Seeing Nigel play was like seeing "The Refrigerator" on the basketball court.

Too bad you can't see any fans waving food at him in the background.

"Please Don't Eat Us"

LOL, I remember that FSU game very well. Didn't we also point at Casey and say: "Ca-Sey San-Ders". Then we pointed at Nigel Big Jelly Dixon and said: "Ker-Nel Sanders" (Colonel).
