I think he got mono.


Mono would make more sense for his timeline. Infectious period is usually the first 10-14 days, so you have to isolate. Time to return to contact is, on average, 3-4 weeks. It all depends on the degree of inflammation/enlargement to the spleen and how long it takes for that to resolve.

If the blood clots are true and they were diagnosed in the last several weeks, then that's not enough time for them to resolve on blood thinners. Blood thinners prevent the clot from getting worse, but they don't dissolve the clot.

The duration of therapy is dependent on if there is a reason for him to clot. If it's an unknown reason, he's condemned to long term, if not lifelong, blood thinners. If there is an underlying reason, then it's at least 6 months of therapy.
Which one was the guy who gave the OSU player a prostate exam at the end of a play? There's definitely a gif of it somewhere.

Saban repeatedly talked to the team about how they were being disrespected. One example: In 2014, after losing to Ole Miss and looking terrible in a 14-13 win over Arkansas, Saban chewed out the media for criticizing Bama. They then annihilated Texas A&M 59-0, turned the season around, and went on to win the SEC.


His pregame speech before the 2018 title game vs Georgia was all about how Alabama was being disrespected.

But there are still disconcerting things about the team in both years


There are disconcerting things about the team like the offense disappearing in the second half all season (with the exception of last night), the lack of a running game, and OL inconsistencies. However, there have been improvements from last year. We've done a better job eliminating the procedural penalties this year and this year's team has an edge to it where last year's team would fold like a wet paper bag.
LT was on the sideline. I don't think the rumors of blood clots are true. You don't put a guy with blood clots on a plane.
The sugar huddle and getting Ty a helmet where he could actually hear the calls kept Skeletor from getting our signs.
Might be referring to him threatening to enter the transfer portal as a way to get more NIL funds.
I think he definitely hurt something after that hit vs Missouri and it has impacted him moving forward. I don't believe that we would run him out there with a herniated disc, the chances for a more catastrophic injury are too high.

Benching your starter can be a good thing sometimes. Look at what happened to Bryce Young when the Panthers did it.
quote:

The BYU and James Madison coaches weren’t interested. And they thought Alabama would be.


I honestly don't know why any coach would be interested in PSU right now. I feel like James Franklin has a good-to-great reputation as a coach, built a great roster, and ran into some adversity/bad luck this year for the first time in a while and they fired him mid-season.

Who would want to walk into that situation?
I know that the common thought is that the committee will screw us over tomorrow and that's a reasonable take given their asinine reasoning for keeping us below Notre Dame.

I've got two questions that need to be answered: Where do you rank the regular season SEC champs? Does us clinching the SECCG add one of these arbitrary data points that the committee can use to bump us up in the rankings?

I anticipate that they'll say we didn't throw the ball well enough in our last two games and keep us at 10.
We should cancel all P4 OOC games going forward and either schedule weak opponents or a bye week and just litter it through our SEC schedule.

Every SEC opponent gets a bye or a cupcake before playing Bama? Cool, we can do the same thing. This is one area that Byrne has to put his foot down over.

Tired of these teams not playing anybody and getting a boost in the rankings. After our gauntlet run, wasn't the record of our opponents something like 23-5 with 4 of those losses coming against Alabama?

Back to back good games from Lawson. Maybe he's finally got full confidence in that knee.
I'm gonna lead towards encouraging win. At the start of the year, a lot of people were worried about this game because it was the fifth game of a ridiculous gauntlet. We've been hit with a ton of injuries in those 5 games. Two of our best receivers in Brooks and Horton didn't play yesterday.

Everything that could have gone wrong for the offense went wrong for a little over 3 quarters, but they found a way to come back in the fourth quarter and win. You can point to most championship teams and find a game like yesterdays.

This team seems like they are accountable for poor performances and I think, and hope, we spend the bye week getting healthy and figuring out what we need to do to start peaking at the right time. We have not seen this team put together 4 quarters of their A game. I think the closest we got was Tennessee.

Regardless, this team just went 5-0 against a part of our schedule that a lot of people thought we would go 3-2 in and that's something to be encouraged about.

I'll have to draw the line there. RGIII is way too corny.


I'll take corny phrases over yelling for the whole game. At least we get meme material out of it.
They are the worst broadcasting crew I've seen in a while. Rather have RG III's goofy arse calling our games.
Ingram was a 3-star and won a Heisman. Stars don't necessarily mean everything. Just haters being haters.
I mean, if UT doesn't choke at the end of the game, that model would have been accurate having UT by 3.
Cautious optimism. We've been talking about The Standard since last season. Last night, the team met The Standard. It's not about who you beat, it's how you beat them and the team played with a lot more effort and passion than last week. It wasn't perfect, but a lot of the issues we had last week seemed to have gotten corrected.

People will blow off this performance because it was ULM. IMO, it doesn't matter. You play with that level of intensity for 4 quarters and you win more often than you lose.

The big thing that we have yet to see from a DeBoer coached team is if they can play with that level of intensity and attention to detail week in and week out. If they can, they can still meet their goals this season.

Agreed. So overpaid."All disrespect will be handled accordingly."...the team didn't get that memo.


This is what ultimately pissed me off the most about last week. How do you say this line repeatedly all summer and then lay an egg against the guy talking shite about you?

The players did the same thing last year. I can't remember who it was after the Vandy loss that said "I feel sorry for who we play next." Bro, you just lost to Vandy. Stop all the shite talk and go to work. The prime Saban teams NEVER talked shite before or during a game.
