I can see how the Pittman OL draw is strong...but he built that persona elsewhere, with tons of dudes.

Last year?

His OL was 128th in sacks allowed and 109th is YPC...

I question how well he can develop those Ark style 3*s and low 4*s.

But I wish no ill will on any transfers. Do what you have to do. Thanks for your time.

Should tell us something about the options that presented themselves once he hopped in the portal. I wish him luck and success except when he plays the Vols, but I think it was best for both sides to move on in this relationship.

So what happens if you fall in? Do you just sink? Doggy paddling is nothing but flapping your arms and kicking your legs.

Pretty much. At times, i try to float, but get very uncomfortable when i start to sink.

Shallow water or swimming pools are my only experience. In a residential pool I can swim enough to get from one side to the other. If for some reason I'm stopped in the middle, i.e., i just stop there, or I fall off of a float, I don't know how I would react or what would happen.

He was special. Not overly physically gifted as RB but would absolutely out tough you (which I guess is a gift in itself) him and then the guy at the Browns (can’t remember his name Peyton Hillis) obviously the former being way better.

Peyton Hillis? Try guys like Earl Campbell, Christian Okoye, Natrone Means, etc.

You should get a coach/tutor and learn. Just like hiring any sort of tutor, language or whatever. Wouldn't cost much and you would be able to learn with some lessons. No reason to feel uncomfortable about it. You don't need to be an expert, just competent.

Sewanee requires a swimming test for graduation. Most freshmen pass the test in a couple of minutes the first week of school because they already know how to swim. Anyone who doesn't gets enrolled in a swimming class for PE. I always thought that made sense. I heard it was started generations ago when a student drowned.
