The Lions' Pride

If they spike it with 12 seconds left that very well could be 3 shots at the end zone. Some plays only take 4-5 seconds off the clock when you're that close to the goal line. So after 1st play there would be 7 or 8 seconds and after 2nd play there would be 2 or 3 seconds left enabling a 3rd play.

Lacy makes me seriously pine for the days of Curtis Enis. Same style, Enis may have been better. Just a monster - OSU '96 - wow.

I know that doofus. I've visited, but I haven't spent any extended amount of time in any one place that would be considered the "Deep South."

Yep, they're so smart that they are incapable of putting together a sentence with proper grammar or punctuation. There are a lot of reason for things, and I'm sure the culture for them in schools isn't the best (that happens in Texas too, believe it or not, even though we're not the "Deep South"), but the kids have been given the opportunity to learn how to speak properly.

I heard a story from a journalism professor when I was a freshman about an old BB coach, who would start out every season by going on a small tour in Hawaii where they would beat up on whatever d-2 or d-3 schools that dared to play them. People always accused him of doing this to pad his win total, but he told my professor the real reason he took those kids was to teach them how to eat and act properly in restaurants. He would teach them how to sit properly, which hand you were supposed to hold the fork in, etc, so that they would not embarrass themselves or the school/program by looking like slobs in public.

It's idealistic, I know, but I wish some coaches wouldn't allow their players to speak to the media until they were able to make some kind of coherent sentence.
