Morphine? I work in healthcare and know what that means. I am so sorry. Losing a grandparent is awful. They usually are the bridge to knowing our families foundation. Prayers to your wife, you and her family. This has truly been a horrible day. I am so sorry for what your family is going through 😞. I don’t have much, but my knees bending down tonight will include your family.

Thank you. We pick at each other on here but I feel very much like this is an extended family.

Marks wouldn't necessarily show up. More than 50% of documented strangulations left no outward mark. It's one of the hardest things to prove and that's especially true when the victim doesn't die because secondary signs like those that appear when one dies from their oxygen being cut off don't show up. As unnerving as stating the following is, it's not difficult at all for the average male to strangle a female or child to death without much effort and no sign of a struggle - marks on either victim and perpetrator just aren't that common.

https://bloomington.in.gov/sites/default/files/2017-09/Review of 300 attempted Strangulation Cases_Part I.pdf

I don't know who this coach is or anything about this particular case but strangulation is incredibly common in domestic violence and it's one of the major indicators that things can and will escalate to a point of real danger if nothing is done -- beyond more run of the mill abuse. It's also nearly impossible to prove because it most often leaves no trace.

The latest reports state she had bite marks on her arm and other marks.

My family could use some prayers for peace and comfort. My wife's grandmother is 96 and has been in a nursing home for several months now. They just verified today that she has been having a series of strokes and at least one more serious stroke. They have started her on Morphin, so not sure how much longer she has. This is my wife's last remaining grandparent and it is hitting her pretty hard.

Sorry! Will be praying!

Ok, but you called them idiots for telling you to calm down . You know what? It doesn't matter. Like you. I just want to win. I choose not to be frustrated or concerned yet. I can understand why you might be.

Because nobody needs to calm down. It’s a stupid statement.

you guys can have it

If the current recruits are all we add, does anyone really believe our secondary takes a step forward next year? I'm just curious what the thought is? We spent almost the entire season talking about how talent deficient the secondary is, how Banks and Martinez were forced to work with what they had. That being the case, can we really expect significantly better if it's the same guys returning plus some freshmen?

I'm just curious on others' thoughts.

Another year of maturity and experience will help. I don't think it will be vastly improved unless Gibson or the DB from Louisiana is good enough to take a spot.

So unless the freshmen can contribute right away, you think the secondary will be bad again?

She lost her grandfather earlier this year at 96 as well. It can be difficult to see the blessing of that when you are in the hurt. She knows it, but losing her last two grandparents so close together is tough. Just trying to be supportive, because I know my last two grandparents are moving closer to their eternity as well. My PaPa is almost 93 and my Na is 90. We can't keep our family forever, and I would not want to. It doesn't make it any less painful when they are called home but it is a comfort to know that they will have their peace and be made new.

We can’t keep them forever, but we can keep their lasting memories with us until G_D calls us home.

How about you calm up then Bass?!?!

I still 100% believe we're not portal shopping defense because the staff is probably worried current roster guys we need for the bowl game would bail on us early and not play.

I think it's dumb, and if you've been here all season why would you enter the portal now and miss a trip to Miami...but some players will think getting to their name in the portal sooner will somehow benefit them.

Not exactly what I said. I said but vastly improved. But, I would not have great confidence in them

Okay. I guess I'm just confused by that answer. I thought the guys we had were talent deficient and that was the problem? If they are able to be coached up, then why didn't that happen this year? Is the problem coaching or talent?
