Hugh just said they had his hearing tested, and there is a problem there. You would think they would have found that out during an initial physical.

So we should definitely use "the Clap" instead of a silent count.

I have hearing issues in my left ear due to a brain tumor, I didn’t realize I had a problem until I did a hearing test that was ordered by my neurosurgeon. I can relate to what he’s going through, it sucks but I now have a hearing aid in my left ear and it has been life changing. Hopefully he can get this resolved and again I feel really sorry for this young man, prayers up for him.

That would explain a lot of the illegal procedures.

I apologize for calling him “Charlie”, the bowler cap, and all spinning umbrella references.

I did not know he had substantial hearing loss.

I agree, sucks for him. Hopefully they can get it resolved. Glad yours was taken care of.

Weird how he still played fine in ACC stadiums.

So we are 5 games into the season before we discover that our prized LT transfer can’t hear?

Maybe Hugh could have sorted that out sooner IF he did not spend so much damn time on his launch monitor at home.

As golf addict, I can testify that if a golfer posts double digits rounds on the GHIN in June, and none in July/August/September that the golfer in question has probably played multiple times(at least 9 holes) or is absolutely wearing out a home theater hitting bay with a high end launch monitor.

Wouldn't the hearing issues cause him to not move versus moving ahead of everyone else?

I mean… if true at least it gives me hope they may now figure out how to fix this going forward.

Or he's got a high pressure always on the clock type job. This golf shtick was played out the second time you said "member's guest".

Hugh needs about 15 wins in a row to have a decent win percentage at Auburn.

IF Hugh beats UGA, Cohen will probably give him a raise and extension.

I don’t see it happening unless we were truly “close.”

Jang, in fairness Ok and TAM are way louder than almost every team in the ACC lol. FSU is the only one that can really compare.

Damn if this isn't Auburn shite though lol. Our LT gets beat so bad we find out he's deaf lol.
