Kentucky is a team that if we come out blazing and on fire like we did against Missouri & South Carolina it'll be a game they aren't equipped to win.

If we don't come out like that (Ole Miss, Pitt, Bama, UF) then we risk our defense fading before we can close the gap.

One thing we've not seen from this team yet is the ability to comeback on teams. Pitt outscored us 27-20 in the first half and we never could overcome it. Florida was up on us 17-14, but then stretched it out in the 3rd quarter and we didn't have the answer to close the gap again. Ole Miss got up 24-12 going into half and despite us shutting them down in the 2nd half it was too big of a lead to overcome.

So from the "realist" standpoint that's the one area it'd be nice to see improvement. Hopefully we can just gas Kentucky, but maybe against Georgia the ability to rally from behind and win an upset could be major for this squad and momentum for staff moving forward.

UK doesn’t have the offensive prowess of Pitt, Ole Miss, Bama. Their defenses is good tho.

They are one dimensional like always (just not quite as terrible). They average 196 pass ypg.

I would imagine the game plan will be opposite of Ole Miss. Force them to beat us through the air, which I firmly believe only Wan’dale can do. So double him all day. The only concern is Levis’s legs. He’s athletic and can make plays on the ground and that’s clearly the biggest weakness on our defense.

Ughhh you are talking about teams with Heisman QBs and great offenses. Kentucky offense is average at best. Their defense keeps them in games. Even if we start slow, their offense does not scare me at all.

Real talk...sometimes I don't know if you fully read the entire post before firing off on a tangent you yourself made up.

Kentucky is a team that if we come out blazing and on fire like we did against Missouri & South Carolina it'll be a game they aren't equipped to win.

What about that opening statement leads you to the reply you made? Everything else I said was about our team and how the teams that have beaten us have been able to defensively slow us down. I think Kentucky is an upgraded version of South Carolina, so we need to see our 1st half effort against them not our 2nd half.

Okay, you are most likely correct. 100% of Plantar Fasciitis is due to the Gastrocnemius being too tight.

Learn to do the Achilles/Gastrocnemius wall stretch. Hold for at least 60 seconds if not longer. 5 times during the day and another 5 times right before bed.
Buy a Futuro Plantar Fasciitis Night Support. Wear it every night. It will keep you from losing flexibility each night. Wear it and stretch daily until you have been pain Free for 2 months.
Also get Voltaren gel (now over the counter) apply to the painful area and your Achilles two times daily. The OTC strength is the same as the prescription strength. They sell it at Costco in bigger amounts.

Proper stretch technique; heel always on the floor, knee on the back stretch leg is straight, to stretch you shift your hips closer to the wall, your leg acts as a fulcrum to apply force across the ankle, toes pointed directly at the wall (foot not angled at all), take it only to the point of a pull, absolutely no pain or your brain will perceive the stretch as trauma and tighten the muscle up even more.

Hopefully that helps! 🤠

I had Plantar factitious and used a percussion massager on my calves and the tendon about 5-10 minutes a couple of times a day and stretched my calves. It went away in a couple of weeks.

Yep, score on them early and often and keep them from being able to move the ball on the ground. But they'll be one of the best defenses we face. One thing that they don't do well is turn teams over, so if we can move the ball without turning it over it's going to be a long night for them.

You only offered $20 for payment…not my specialty at all. Just trying to make ends meet. Plus Weezer said that he could secure a 5* DT with a testicle… it was for the team…you’re a VFL correct? You still have the more important left one…

Five minutes later no more reps performed but they are still talking so I think he’s making gains.

Without objectifying, I’ll just call it based on my opinion…She has those unusual curve ratios but isn’t particularly stunning

There is a "power lifter" at my gym that comes in for 2 hours, never lifts and talks to the ladies. I guess one of his buddies asked big boy to help him get big and big boy took him to the bench machine, he did 4 sets of 80 lb bench and big boy said. That's a good start and they left.

These types always crack me up but they are in every gym.

We will go 6-6 this year and probably around that mark next year with Hendon Hooker. Bailey will transfer, take over the reins wherever that may be and win the conference. While we have a dynamic offense that puts up great #’s against the bottom of the barrel teams.

Who are those people in portal thread?
Click to expand...
Those random recruiting threads are started in Football Forum and recently a moderator has been moving them to the RF. If we ignore them, maybe they will stop.
Just a reminder:
The Football Forum: where ever poster’s random thought becomes a thread. I started there, but soon saw the light of this thread shining like a beacon on a dark stormy night.

So if you like that plantar fasciitis pain, don’t do anything and it will keep getting worse…. If you are into pain, @Weezer has this little side gig that you may be interested in…😂

Exactly. Wife went through it awhile back. Lasted nearly a year. Got so bad she couldn't walk some days. Used that same night splint in the picture, some needle therapy and a couple of shots along with the exercises before it got better. Still does the stretching every morning.
