Paul Chaney Jr. Anchors 4 x 100 at Drake Relays, Is Kind Of Swole

We'll get to the draft in a quick second -- WTF Mitch King -- but we just saw this picture and it's pretty awesome:

That's WR Paul Chaney doing something that must be pretty sweet: anchoring the 4 x 100 team to victory in the middle of a downpour at the Drake Relays here in Des Moines.

The rain has been no joke here this weekend-- we're talking about, like, 4 inches and counting (small penis joke goes here)--so it's not like they could have planned around the rain or anything. Or wait, they don't normally have track events in the middle of a downpour, right? Is it like baseball, or what's the deal with that?

Chaney also had this to say about the race:

Chaney was asked after Saturday's rain-soaked race what he prefers between running track and playing football.

"Today, it would probably be anchoring that," said Chaney, who plays receiver for the Iowa football team. "We play football in the rain like that, so it was nothing new to me."

Let's see, out of the two-deeps in football, or anchorman on a team that wins in the relays? Not a tough call.

At the same time, maybe we shouldn't be so dismissive of his prospects on the gridiron. It's pretty obvious that he's spent three years with Chris Doyle, so who knows? Maybe he's got a niche role waiting for him as a zone-stretcher out of the slot over the next couple years. He doesn't look undersized anymore, anyway.

You didn't miss much this year

It is always a fun weekend no matter what the weather is, but the Relays itself sucked. I was there for most of the afternoon yesterday (about 1p – 5p) and saw nothing but hurdles and steeple chases. Plus it was cold and shitty. It was like 5 minutes or more between every race. Not to mention the disappointment of seeing Lolo Jones driven off the track in a golf cart after not finishing the 110 Special Invite Hurdles. I still love it, but this year definitely left something to be desired.

That can’t be the Drake I know. They were the masters of efficiency, scheduling, and making it fun. Majorly disappointing if they’re slipping that bad.

yeah it was sad

I am willing to blame it on weather, and Saturday is the only day I go because of work on Friday. I am sure it was better on the other days. Shot put and high jump was fun to watch though, just none of the races that I saw, but we left before most of the relay races.
