re: Another example of hyped 40 times

How fast did Dominique-Chromartie(spelling?) run the 40, wasn't it the fastest ever recorded at the combine? Like a 4.26 or something?

Oh yeah, yeah, he recorded the fastest running back 40 ever with a 4.26, thats right.

I'm posting just to set the record straight and no, I'm not Orrin Fontenot, I'm his dad. If you look back on DD's interview with Orrin, you'll see that he had the correct stats on Orrin, 6'2, 230 lbs and 4.68 sec 40yd dash. He ran 4.68 hand timed on the track at NUC combine last year and ran 4.71 hand timed at LSU football camp last summer at the indoor practice field. Someone later in the thread wrote that Orrin ran a 4.66 at the Army Combine which is a mistake because he was did not attend the Army combine but I do appreciate him taking up for my son. The stats that I listed are the facts for what they are worth. I don't know why DD's numbers changed from the interviews to the listings that he had. I agree that alot of stats you see on kids are hyped and that DD's numbers are confusing but for "peopleschamp" to pick out an individual (Orrin) and say that he is another example of hyped 40 times and insinuate that my son lied about his 40 time is irresponsible and pretty cheap on his part. He made an assumption about my son and used his name without checking the facts for himself. If you want to make the blanket statement that alot of stats and times are hyped, I'm all for it and would agree with you but don't grab one particular persons name and stats and say that they lied with out checking first! Maybe "peopleschoice" should do some facting finding of his own before he criticizes a kid who didn't do anything wrong!

Sir if you understood the animal you are hunting here, you'd understand theres no logic in the brain of a dodo bird.
Good luck to your son and I hope he likes LSU.

Whatever his time, which is the biggest bs factor for a linebacker ever, congratulations.

Last I checked LB's were supposed to tackle the guy with the ball not run 40 yard dashes. His 10 yard dash would probably be a better time. (BTW we did that at my high school. Two linemen were in the top five. Both all district .)

I know he is a good player because he is on the "list" I know he is well coached because he is at Parkview. I know he has good character or Coach Mayet would have run him off.

So please ignore the rantards on here who especially during the offseason began to act like complete nuts.

I do hope you get to see you son running on to the field one day at tiger stadium in a big game. (whether it takes him 4.3 4.7 or 4.67 sec to reach the Tiger's eye.)

Best advice. I would even try to avoid this site all together if possible. Good luck to your son.

Purple Peacock. I spent many nights at that place, driving over from Jennings with my buddies.

Thanks for the good wishes guys. Orrin works hard, is focused and driven, how ever fast or slow he may be. If the door at LSU doesn't open for some reason then another one will and some coach will be damn glad and damn lucky to have him. But that's just my opinion, I might be a little biased! LOL

BOOM!!! You just made my day. Best of luck to your son. Hopefully he will become a Tiger...er...quickly.
