Thankfully that stopped once I finished training. My practice doesn’t include the prostate.

If your prostate exams are bruising your bottom, then you may just be a little too aggressive there Sport…😁

No one said you were doing them as part of your practice. We just figured it was for your own enjoyment. :)

So just found out Scottie was 1600 before the tournament...which I think is basically 16 to 1 if I understand it right. I really wish I had bet that $100.

He’s at -300 right now. I just threw down $20 on him to win and then both teams to score in Liverpool vs Man City game tomorrow. 2 leg parlay to double my money.

Try going to watch American Pie in high school opening weekend. No one knew how raunchy is was and the theatre was full of older people (40 and up was old people then). I swear they were all looking at the only two high school kids in the theatre in judgement the whole time.

It seems like we keep hearing of this happening, and I hope our defense is impoved, by I find it really hard to believe it has become that disruptive.

I think it improved a ton last year (much much better than any of CORNBREADS years) but we were so thin that injuries and fatigue depleted them as the season progressed. I see a huge step forward this year.

I’ve repeatedly made the claim that our defense is well coached and that a major issue we face on that side of the ball is not having enough talent and depth to compete with elite teams, elite being defined as an AP top 25 team. Against everyone else we perform as a top 20 defense. jmo.

Here is another nugget to try to make my point. The top half of the defenses in the conference and in the nation average around 15 defensive plays per quarter. They play 4 quarters of football so they’re around 60 +/- defensive plays per game. Additionally they’re rotating guys to control the number of snaps on their guys. Of course everyone is emphasizing the need to “strain” on every play. jmo.

Our defense with our offense is required to play on average 5 quarters of football every game. That has always been the case with Heupel’s offense. It’s pretty much the same with Kiffin’s offense at Ole Miss as well. jmo.

Time of possession is thought by some to be increasingly irrelevant and that may be so but the number of plays a player has to play is not irrelevant. Everybody wears out at some point. I don’t think there is any conditioning program in the world that is going to have you at your best in the 5th quarter in most SEC football games. jmo.

I, along with most other analysts, am expecting our defense to improve this year, owing mostly to being more familiar with the system, but also we could marginally have better depth. There won’t be a ton of upgrade in talent but experience will help a lot. jmo.

One thing that I doubt will change all that much is the requirement for Tim Bank’s guys to play 5 quarters of football every game. It’s just a feature of our current approach to the game. jmo.

Our philosophy for winning is to score more points than our opponents. The more points we can score, the more we can help our defense. I don’t want to sound ungrateful or greedy, what with having one of the highest scoring offenses in the nation, but WE.NEED.TO.SCORE.MORE.POINTS. jmo.
