PrintI love this kid. Did you all catch his tweet the other night after the whole O$U debacle finally let loose? He said
We do things the right way.
Love his heart, his attitude, his dedication. I hope he accomplishes great things for the Lions this year.
I made this a Fanpost because no one reads the fanshots and now I have a bunch more words to fill.
Ok so tell me in the comments, who else on the team is a standout in terms of character and attitude?

I still maintain
that if Bani makes the tackle on the opening drive of the third quarter, that game plays out completely different.

My Shoulda/Coulda/Woulda play
Is Dayvon dropping that 25yard sideline pass that hit him in both hands, just before the play you cite.
But, yeah, Mauti getting reinjured and Bani appearing kinda spelled doom also.

Agreed
I had tried to scrub that game from memory but now that you remind me, I bet Dayyyyyyyyyyvon still has nightmares about that drop. Right in the hands.

Disagree completely.
He – like most everyone else – got banned for something trivial because those guys have a stick up their butt. We like fun especially off-topic fun here, but there’s always been a low tolerance for off-topic trolling and I’d hate to see that end.

When he left PSU, I was 100% certain that he was going to be an NFL star. He was just too talented not to be. I blame kijana’s acl for this.

Look how powerful that little dude is! Seeing that power and strength and those bulging muscles and picturing his quickness and spins and moves is just a really cool juxtaposition.

ha!
I deliberated on that one, too. You know me too well, my 717 friendo.
And seriously, seeing these kinds of workouts just hammers home the whole warrior theme in American football. I mean, it’s fucked up. At least Silas gets it. He said ‘longevity,’ and he seems like he knows how freakin rare that is among those who play his position. I wonder if he’s ever met Earl Campbell? I remember seeing something similar by Tomlinson a couple years ago: lots of balance and isometrics and shit. And looking at them both, you see how jacked and skilled and balanced and adept and powerful they are, and then you picture the monsters they’re trying to elude and bounce off and not get mauled by. It’s insane, this sport.
Godspeed to you Silas! May you successfully, in the end, dish out more than you ever must take.

A buddy of mine ran track
at Shippensburg. He was setting up for the bungie cord acceleration drill. The lead dude stretched out the bungie to max and just when Buddy was supposed to rock and roll – the bungie snapped (at the far end). He took the full power of the elastic right in the beanbag. While he swelled up to elephatine proportions and couldn’t walk fro 2 days there is a happy ending – his boys could still swin. 20 years later he is a proud father of three.

Just curious, can any male read this and not cringe?
I’ve never (luckily) taken a direct, hard hit to the balls, but for some reason, even imagining the world of pain the person is experiencing makes me audibly cringe and make a sound of horror. It’s like seeing a nutshot on a sport bloopers show, or on Jackass. For some reason there is some subconscious reaction to cringe every time I see stuff like that. Especially skateboarders or roller bladers grinding on a railing, who inevitably fall and fall with full force right on the the Ol’ Beanbag.
I'll add to the story a detail...
I purposely left out. As Buddy lay curled up in pain, the coach ran over and said “I need to check if they’re still out”. Buddy grunted a “huh, what”. Coach said “Your nuts, I need to make sure they didn’t retract inside”.

do you listen to Howard Stern?
He had a guy on who broke his penis. Although I have heard that cannot happen, he said it did. Every guy I worked with was talking about it that day and cringing.
oh god
stop just stop
someone who doesn’t have one can’t bring up breaking one

I don't listen to Stern (I don't have SiriusXM)
But I have heard of people breaking their penises before.
Johnny Knoxville broke his penis, and if anyone is surprised by that you clearly don’t know who Johnny Knoxville is.
you can't break it. there's no bone
I think ti would be a contusion, which is the closest you can get to snapping your dong

Tomlinson's workouts are insane.
Kind of legendary. He had the hill in his backyard in San Diego, tied a tire to himself, and just sprinted up the hill. Repeatedly. For hours.
Everyone thought Tomlinson was toast after he left San Diego. He’s slowed down a bit and he’s not as consistent as he once was, but he still has that explosion for a bunch of plays per game where he just blows by guys and they wonder where they got left in the dust. I’d like to see Silas mimic that.

Same with Jerry Rice
He was great for so long because his workouts were inhumane.

For someone with a BA in journalism from PSU
I wasn’t very clear. I should have said that I wanted the link to appear as highlighted text, without the html tags, like PSUWifey’s reference to Redd’s tweet in the OP. I tried following the example in the formatting guide, but every time I previewed it, it looked worse than just copying the link into the “link” function box.
But thanks for letting me know the link worked for you!
It's too early in the morning
and my coffee hadn’t set in yet. I follow now. As for links, I’m not formatting guru but the way to link in text is to highlight the word(s) you want linked and then click the link button and paste in the box that pops up. Like this.
Hope this helps.

I was fortunate enough to continue living/working in State College for 10 years after graduating, and then moved to Nashville. Have been here ever since, except for a 2-year stint in Portland, OR (where I kept getting confused by people talking about PSU, until I realized they were referring to Portland State.)
Really like Nashville, except for the SEC thing. Driving around my first football Saturday after moving, I couldn’t understand all of the orange EVERYWHERE—on cars, in yards, on people. I mean, Knoxville is 3 hours away. Then I realized these poor people had nothing else to live for (this was prior to the Oilers/Titans coming to town.)
But that past 6 years have been particularly trying. Please, please, please—someone other than an SEC team win the BSC/phantom national championship this year!
