Serious question.

How does one become "internet relevant" more so than anyone else?

13 years of the internet?

I was dialing into bulletin boards in 1990.

I was using Gopher back in 1993. (before web browsers)

I was using netcom to dial in back in 95.

I had a Prodigy account on a 9800 baud modem in 1991 and using ARCHIE at school.

I had a secret level security clearance and running corp network for peeps trying to use pre-MS Windows 3.0 in 1988.

I had a BitNet account in 1985.

Waylon be a young'un.

no wait...

Friday's lead item is not so much an add-on to the Freaks list, but a stand-alone because the story is pretty compelling. Florida State guard Matt Meinrod still is deserving of that freak tag, thanks to a school-record 430-pound clean and a 505-pound bench, but "Monster Matt" – the nickname came from FSU fans who marveled at pictures online of the hulking Meinrod – is intriguing this time of year for a few other reasons.

Meinrod's rapid recovery from a torn ACL is one of the keys to FSU's offense bouncing back to the explosive attack we used to expect from the 'Noles. Not just as a powerhouse lineman, but also as a veteran leader on a pretty young offensive unit in the midst of transition.

He wrecked his knee in last year's opener against Miami. Doctors told him recovery time would be six to nine months, but Meinrod was cleared after 4½. (His procedure was a little different than the norm. Usually doctors like to use the patella tendon but Meinrod's was damaged in the injury, so they used one from a cadaver.)

This spring he and his linemates have had to adjust to a new O-line coach Mark McHale, who overhauled the 'Noles blocking schemes. Along with the new coach came a shift to a more traditional locked positioning, meaning the 'Noles won't line up based on strong and weak side any more. The change, coach Bobby Bowden hopes, will make his team less predictable.

"For the younger guys it was a little harder because they were just starting to learn the system and then, all of a sudden, they've got to learn a whole different package," Meinrod says. "But for me, football is football. Our new coach is big into zone blocking. The main thing is picking up on the new terminology and the way he coaches."

In chatting with Meinrod Thursday, I found out something interesting (at least to me). Meinrod, like a lot of college football players, is a big fan of the World Strongest Man shows ESPN airs. (I admit I am a fan too. At first I was more drawn to the spectacle of it, marveling at some of the bizarre events while watching it with the sound off in some bar, but now it's more of an awe of what these guys can do. By the way, Meinrod points out they do drug test, in case you were wondering.)

Unlike almost all the fans, the 305-pound Meinrod hopes someday to compete. After all, weightlifting has been a passion of his since eighth grade and he's always reading articles online about strength and nutrition and picking the strength coach's brain. He says he's even gotten a few pointers from Strongman Jesse Marunde.

What is the appeal of what often looks like the ultimate freak show?

"Power lifting is basically about brute strength," he says, "but Strongman, to be good at it, you have to be an athlete too and that's why I think I could excel at it. It's not just about how much you can lift for one rep, you have to have the strength and also the endurance."

I definitely agree with a lot of what he is saying about those guys being athletes, and quite frankly I'm surprised more athletes don't attempt the crossover given the athleticism and competitiveness involved in some of these events. Then again, very few athletes have the genetics that Meinrod has. (One of his brothers played at Air Force and another played for Navy.)

Football is still his first love, but Meinrod concedes some days he tries out a few of the Strongman events in the weight room. He says the farmer's walk (an event where the Strongman has to lug ungodly amounts of weight in each hand and hustle as fast as they can for a couple hundred feet) translates well for football training. Unfortunately, he has no trucks to pull or Hussefelt Stone to tote around. And next winter, there probably will be an interesting de facto world's strongest college football player contest shaping up at the NFL Combine in Indy where Meinrod and Miami (Ohio) linebacker Terna Nande both take aim at the bench press record.
