Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I've got six herniated discs, stenosis and spurring in my spine..and both shoulders and knees are useless..and now my hips are shot from overcompensating for my knees and back..

I'm a wreck and have been for twenty+ years.
I'm not even 50 and my body's a wreck. Been trying to put myself back together ever since the liver transplant 4 years ago, but for every two steps forward I seem to take three steps back.
 
I thought it was entertaining but not high end story telling. Shallow, one dimensional characters, characters, cliché dialog, no nuance or subtlety. Everyone recommended it, so I broke my no anime rule for it. Just so young adult/juvenile, don't get the hype.

Edit but I am curious to hear from a connoisseur as to why it's so highly regarded.
...Its a shounen, bro. It's not a ****ing Scorsese flick. It's supposed to be dumb entertainment.

I haven't heard a single person besides you refer to it as dumb entertainment. Masterpiece, fire, spectacular, revolutionary. Those are the kinds of words people use. Most anime is dumb and juvenile and shallow, but so many people said this one was supposed to be on another level.
 
It's just the truth. Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt all recruited well here and pulled top classes. Nebraska hasn't gotten any higher than 20th since 2015, and 3 of those classes were in the 30's. Now if Scott Frost has a special year there that could obviously change. But the road for Nebraska is tougher than the road here.

Our problem with those three coaches wasn’t recruiting. It’s been player development. If they were actually able to develop the recruits they got, we would be in a better position than we are now.

It's probably really good at being a shounen, but if you're looking for deep, nuanced anime, you're not going to find it in ANY shounen

OK Doc - if you see this. Medical question for you that will not threaten your license. lol.

My wife fractured and dented her knee at the tibia socket in a fall that sent her fibula jamming into it (all layman's terms obviously). Surgically repaired a week ago with bone grafts/screws and the prognosis is good if she does what they say. Still in the surgical bandaging and wrapping with a tight brace. How do we reduce swelling other than elevation? The ice is minimal in value due to the wrapping thickness and they do not want the brace adjusted for obvious reasons. Grin and bear it or do something else? The wrap comes off in a week at her next appointment. Thanks...

Where’s the swelling? Her foot? Leg below the brace and foot? Email me at jkay@arlingtonortho.com as it will be easier to communicate that with VN posts…

If the swelling doesn’t decrease with elevation of her leg, either the brace/wrap is too tight or a scarier possibility is that she is developing a DVT. If the swelling doesn’t significantly decrease with lying down and keeping her leg elevated overnight, then she needs to be checked for a DVT right away.
Elevation needs to be leg higher than heart…

They make a device that you put on your knee. You can put it over the bandages and stuff. It has a tube that runs to a cooler. You put ice in the cooler along with some water. It circulates cold water continuously all around the knee via a small pump. The doctor prescribed one for my wife when she had her hip done. It was for the knee but we made it work. It will cool the knee down through that wrapping.

It was awesome.
 
I'll ask better questions before breaking my no anime rule again haha

here is something I copy and pasted, but it’s pretty much how I feel.

  • A compelling story with dynamic and exciting main characters
  • Clever worldbuilding and powers for the demons and the slayers that make the battles (and even the training sequences) feel unique and engaging
  • Lots of side characters and villains that don’t feel one-dimensional, even if we’re not clear on some of their motives
  • A tremendous feel for when to build tension and when to release it
  • Talented voice-acting that evokes the right emotions with nuance, both in the tense moments and the comedic or cute ones
  • Precise storytelling pace — they spend an appropriate amount of time on all the right spots.
