Who Would Win? Rd 2

Alright folks, time for round 2 of our weekly hypothetical Illini battle.  This week, I've decided to kick it old school.  A good old fashioned hot dog eating competition between two of our big men on the basketball team.  Here are the competitors:

CJ Jackson:

A man whose size speaks for itself.  Listed at 6-8 and 265 pounds, left the basketball team briefly to play tackle for Ron Zook (too bad it wasn't Guard - could have used the PUN).  The man is big.  And the man can eat.

 

Mike Tisdale:

The picture might not seem all that impressive, but look at a picture of the kid from high school and the difference is scary.  For those Illini fans who have been living in a cave, Tisdale eats about 6000 Calories a day and has put on almost 45 pounds since stepping on campus here at Illinois.  Basically, the man eats a LOT.  He's no Michael Phelps, in fact he's only half of Michael Phelps in terms of Caloric intake, but he doesn't suffer from the Munchies that MP does).  But regardless, the man can eat.  He's well on his way to being the next Shaq.  (Too optimistic?)

 

So there are the competitors.  Who would win the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest?

Round. Two. FIGHT!

This is no contest. I’m not sure MT actually LIKES to eat that much every day. But put CJ in front of about 100 hot dogs and I bet he’d definitely go to town. It’s CJ all the way here.

CJ

wins in a speed eating contest (which is what the Hot Dog Eating Contest is). But I wonder who would win a marathon. Just an all-day eating contest. That one raises concerns for me over CJ’s abilities.

6000 calories!

The man has been training. I was CJ all the way, until I read the calorie intake of Tisdale. I pick the skinny white kid in an upset.

Maybe we should do

Tisdale vs Nick Smith?

Nah, he’d probably just whine, then go grow a dirty mustache

Oh. IT BURNS! IT BURNS!

Well played, sir.
