It was a really good crowd on hand for the game. And it all just seemed lethargic. The team looked like they were just going through the motions to get the game over with, the fans were not in the game at all, and overall it was just not great.

I heard a couple parents say to each other “I really wish this season would be over” or something to that effect. Mickey Dean has lost the support of the parents and possibly the players.

I saw a few heads in hands in the dugout, and student athletes that looked like they would rather be any place but the softball field. For young women recruited to Auburn to play softball, they should love the softball field. But the culture of the program right now has made everything go bland.

You know it’s bad when UTs fans cheers are louder than ours at our own field. The fans are only showing up to either A. Support their kid/relative, B. Are Auburn to the core, or C. Only going because they bought the season tickets (like me).

I really hope we make the right hire this offseason, so we can bring the program back to a place people want to be. Whether it’s players, fans, parents, whatever. It should be an exciting thing to go watch Auburn play softball.

Maddie Penta seems to be the only one putting her heart on the field. She’s still fighting for every call, every pitch, every spot. But because of the lack of depth there’s only so much she can do. And her family knows it. Her mom has put on Facebook her opinion and that spoke volumes to me. The one family that supported Dean, no longer does. And that’s huge.

Last point, it seems like Dean hasn’t worked with Lisenby at all on the “hitching.” She hasn’t gotten better, and he continues to play her instead of giving her time to work on the mental block she has. I thought Elkins did a fine job behind the plate last weekend. Give her the shot she deserves.

We appear to have basketball Gus but I'm hopeful about football. We have talent coming and maybe Hugh still has it.

@AcesFull1AU once tried to also make this argument on TOS

if a team takes a delay of game on their 5 yard line, the penalty is half the distance. Ball is now on their 2.5 yard line. Right?

What if they do it again? and again and again and again until it becomes impossible to move the ball any further without encroaching the goal line.

is that a safety?

I lost count during the 8th while we were running up the score on the philthies.

Well, what doesn’t he do to help terrorist’s??

Travis Smith Jr. talks his Auburn visit, seeing practice and official visit plans...

Makes a run at Jamal Shead in the portal as a grad transfer? Hadn’t seen his name mentioned already in @Jay G. Tate’s portal thread.

Dude is a lot of the things we want/need at that position. He’s a senior with fringe R2 draft stock per the article below (kind of sounds like Johni’s grade) and he has played high level ball in March.

Unless I overlooked a lack of eligibility I’d have to think this guy is in top of lots of wish lists to stay in college somewhere.

I've tried a lot of things over the years to help me sleep, most of them were various supplements like copper, iodine, glycine, etc. Many of them helped for a few days and then I was right back to where I was before. I have no issue falling asleep, but exactly five hours into my sleep cycle, I wake up with a racing mind. I'm thinking about everything and can't go back to sleep. I think I've finally cracked the code on that one, it only took me about 15 years.

Our neurotransmitters in our brain act like they are on a see-saw. Our main stimulating neurotransmitter, glutamate, opposes our main inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. When the level of one goes up, the other goes down. In my case, glutamate was high so I tried to increase my GABA levels. Looking at how GABA is made in the body, I always assumed that I was low on active ingredients to make it, primarily glycine. This can be the case for some and that is why supplementing glycine or TMG (Tri-methyl-glycine) can be beneficial. I would supplement and get benefit, but two or three days later, I was right back to where I started. I now believe I failed to achieve a balance in electrical charge and some of my chemical reactions couldn't take place because of an increase in electrons. With my background in Chemistry, I should have seen that and didn't.

All I have done differently the past several weeks is alter my nightly routine. Just before bed, I usually let the dog outside and brush my teeth. Now, I go outside with my dog and then brush my teeth. I make sure I walk bare footed on the grass for several minutes. I take at least 30 steps but I don't know if that matters. I know it sounds odd, but this has completely changed the way I sleep at night. If I do happen to wake up at 1 or 2 am, I can quickly fall back to sleep and I can now remember my dreams for the first time in many years. All I am doing is grounding, what some people call earthing. It sounded like hogwash to me, but it's cheap and I'll try anything once. I'd like for some of you to try it and see if it makes any difference in your sleep patterns. Come back to this thread in a few weeks and tell me if it had any effect.

I wear an Oura ring so I have a lot of metrics on my health. I know things like the length of my REM sleep, deep sleep, awake time, etc. These past few weeks have shown a huge improvement in all my sleep metrics and I can feel the difference. All from walking bare footed outside for a few minutes. The only days since I started doing this where my sleep wasn't great are days when I ate a late supper and the increased food close to bedtime negatively affected my sleep. I can't eat within 3 hours of sleep and get a good night's rest.

I was talking to a patient yesterday about Rheumatoid arthritis and when I finished, she told me I should write a book. Congratulations Bunk, this post is my book.

Owner at the house to the right put a fence by his house and got the sign put up in the middle stating public access restricted. Preventing all of us from walking though so now we gotta walk over a mile down to access to the beach.

For all internet driven traffic? Much like television, radio, and video games. With the ability to fine while simultaneously increasing parental rights to protect their children from malicious interactions via these sites to include an agency/path for parents to fight back?

Should this have been done when we opened the internet to everyone?

Ouch…

Maybe a quarterzip? The polo isn’t cutting it.

BRUCE is the one saving grace, but everything else is an actual disaster.

Plenty of recruits expected to visit Auburn today. Several have already checked in.

Whoa is us bullshi% needs to stop. We are Auburn University. A spirit unafraid that lives in reality, but also is ready to run to challenges instead of curl up and piss ourselves in a corner. The University of Alabama has worked against Auburn's mere existence since our inception. The elitist redneck racist trash in their regime and their shitty friends in Alabama government have tried time after time to kill us. We keep coming back. These bad days in our athletic program will pass as well. Guarantee they always are nervous when staring at us on the other side of any court, pool, course, track or playing field. Their school is a diploma mill, their basketball coach is an accessory to murder and there is nothing unique about them. Tuscaloosa is pure garbage and UAT is nothing but a wannabe debutante. Let's cowboy up and stop the lay down and bleed pity party.

2 young brothers out shed antler hunting (which I didn't know was a thing) in El Dorado Hills, CA (near Tahoe). They see a cougar in the road, try to spook it, cougar attacks one kid's face, brother dies trying to help.

Pretty scary and sad and a reminder of the forces of nature.

Apparently some are calling on the state to rethink how it manages the mountain lion population.

How many years of jail time does Sonny get if that happened in today's time?

from Tusc

Hasn't been seen since this morning kayak fishing in Grayton Beach. Apparently he's the head fb coach at Sylacauga

Hot hot!

Check the news. At a concert. Pretty shocking. Can’t post link at the moment.

and it’s possible AU baseball could be historically bad again 😩
