Even talks about JG not being able to hit a swing pass.

With today’s training and nutrition, tell me this guy doesn’t translate!

I don't think any college program can boast a better DE tandem than Reggie White and Doug Atkins. Two of the all-time greats.

I’ve been told by more than one health care professional that if you are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol, diet does very little to move it - only exercise and meds. But both said control triglycerides with low carb diet though.

I’ve faithfully taken a combo of zetia, fish oil pills, and a statin for a while now, exercised for a minimum of 45 minutes 3-4 days per week and eaten whatever I wanted for the last year. My numbers early March were the best they’ve ever been my entire adult life.

The doctor that diagnosed me forever ago said the same thing. He was full of it. He never checked any other factors that could be contributing to what turned out to be my inability to process sugar. Diet has as much to do with it as anything else. Genetic predisposition is one part. Environmental factors are the other. They combine like a science experiment to create your well-being.

Preach.

I agree. I may have misrepresented what they told me. What they were saying was that meds and exercise (which is one of those factors I think you are referring to) do more to control cholesterol, and diet does more to control triglycerides.

I kept a graphic up on my office wall for about 10 years to remind me of what you are saying here. Environmental release of genetics. They drilled it into us in grad school, and you see it everywhere in science and nature.

Is he going to type Google into Google?

One of the funniest episodes.

I'e always been scared to type 'google' into Google's search engine. I have heard it is the endgame.

Just wow. Someone brought up Drew Richmond on another board and called him a consensus 5*. Of course, he wasn't, but I had to look for myself if any service had him a 5. Rivals had him as the overall #12 player in the country. Meanwhile, they ranked Trey Smith #49 and a 4*. I can't imagine being them.

SIAP:

Ranking the Top 25 coaches in college football

This is what has me excited. There is a plan to climb the ladder. The more talented players we get the faster we climb, but we will continue climbing regardless of missing on so-called can't miss players.

Saving this if only to reference when 3-4 DL terminology debates surface.

What they’re going to do is get your money then decide if and when you get it back.

My bet is they’ll have everyone buy tickets as normal. Then when it is decided we’re going to have games without fans, we’ll all get an email saying “we’re disappointed about this year. But if you do not get a refund, your tickets will be good next year!” yada yada yada

Makes sense.....then they will have around $32M to play with.....

That's exactly what I did lol.

Off topic a little...but where are these "other schools" coming up with this whole Pruitt is a great recruiter, but not a good coach, thing?

You can only coach up the talent you have. We just didn't really have that much talent before, or at least didn't have that much that Butch hadn't already ruined.

I think Pruitt can and will be a great "in game coach". He's still learning...just like Dabo and just like Saban. Neither one of those guys started off great.

The key is to learn from what you did wrong, and move forward.

Something Butch and Dooley could never wrap their heads around.

Could not agree more. We know JP can identify talent, he can recruit, he can coach them up, he has a great defensive mind, he can build a staff.

Head coaching is more like learning how to be a great poker player. You have to know your competition, know their strengths and weaknesses, know their probable next move.
It is like as DC he has been in middle management in the corporate world, now as HC he is the CEO. I have seen that in the corporate world, it takes a little learning curve.

Even though he does that great on defense, it is more to it as a total game manager.
He is getting there, and I saw signs of it in the later part of season.

I’m not sure how many of that 70k+ number you can trust. Maybe the majority but how many of those would’ve passed away from their underlying conditions in those nursing homes anyways?

This debate could rage on forever, and as Jake said the other day, no one will ever really know. But a study said people died on average 10 years ahead of their life expectancy.

I am good with opening, working (with many changes on my end), seeing family again, and even trying to play sports. Good with all of that...and for those who say it’s political, I guess you don’t want to know my voting history. Once and for all, it’s also not the flu.

Don’t you just hate it when Athletic Dept starts acting like our politicians?
