LSUPsych-ops

I was at the game as well. A day or so before the game the Chicago newspaper said of the game that it was an unstoppable force versus an unmovable object. It was a slugfest through 3+ quarters until the refs called pass interference on LSU twice which gave ND an opportunity to kick a field goal and win 3-0.

An 800 elephant would be very skinny, almost anorexic. Now a gorilla that size would be impressive.

Pure speculation, but I think the change is more physiological than mental. His reaction time and decision making seem very off. I’d look to an effect of medication, supplements or something new in his diet.

She reminds me of Pete Maravich….her accuracy, passing, assists, vision, concentration on the game, ability to hit the open players and hustle. She makes her teammates better.

Nah….LSU just needs better all-around players in key positions.

Still sounds like an athletic or sports hernia. Difficult to diagnose and it takes an extremely long time to heal.

People who insert “to tell the truth”, “to be honest with you,” or “not gonna lie” into their sentences are big time liars. The one sentence they are saying might be true, or what they believe is true, but otherwise one would be wise to have doubts about anything they tell you.

I was at that game and the game next year in Tiger Stadium. During the week leading up to the game at South Bend the Chicago newspaper (Tribune, I suppose) had billed the game as “Unstoppable Force versus Immovable Object” in recognition of N.D.’s offense and LSU’s defense. The teams struggled back and forth during the game. N.D. almost scored early but fumbled near the goal line. LSU missed one field goal and had another blocked. Cassanova shut down their wide receiver star by being, as someone said, “in his jock strap all day.” I thought the game would end scoreless but N.D. benefited from one, possible two, very questionable calls which allowed them retain possession and slowly inch downfield to get into field goal range. The next year the Immovable Objects shut down N.D. for most of the game in an extraordinary display of defense.

Also scary is the thought of the pole breaking while you are vaulting.....happened to me a couple of times.

Had a chance to vault with Mondo and his sister years ago when he was 8 years old, I believe, and his sister was 5 or 6 where several coaches brought their “students” for a vaulting get together. I was 62 or 63 at the time. Both Mondo and his sister broke existing world records for their respective ages at that meet, although it was not an official meet and their accomplishments didn’t count. Both Duplantis kids showed the the focus and determination then you see on Mondo’s face now when he is going down the runway.
