My experience is.. the new pup senses things.. especially sadness and grief.. Just seems to know...
and makes themselves a key part of the therapy and recovery... they'll burrow their head into your hands and face if they feel your grief..
seen it many times already.. first hand

The grief is still there but so is the understanding you have a new one you are responsible for.. and if it's a puppy, the added emotion that you are its protector as well.. it's a baby. It all works as therapy.. cuz losing a pet is rough.. rougher than most folks know..

As to "now our dog is 5 years old. I have no idea what I'm going to do when she's gone.".. makes me remember that EXACT sensation... when my all-time fav was exactly 5, I dealt with the same emotion.. lost her at 12.. She will always be my fav... bad ass but very affectionate...

Merely a clarifying question if you please. In my experience, tennis (among other sports), has a 'ladder' system. Players play each other, etc, and a ladder is established, 1 through 6. To move up, one has to beat someone higher on said ladder. If the lower player wins, they replace that player, and the former place holder, goes down one, or goes to the place the challenger was. Seems to be the case in wrestling, swimming, orchestra, ?. thanks for clearing away the fog.

Read that some reporter mentioned that Edmunds was 'very polished' during interviews, and guess that means he's saying all the right things about tOSU. Wish I was a fly on the wall when he was one-on-one with Day, and discussing the realities of tOSU side. But neither are talking. to my way of thinking, it'd be hard, knowing that Sayin is batter up, TSC is on deck, with Edmunds being in the hole behind him, and that Day will be looking to add a 5* QB in the next two recruiting seasons. But also do like that no mention of NIL in conversation.

While I fully expect TSC to turn into a stud, he's still in the heavy development stage to be sure. There's a real shot for Edmunds to come in and win the job when it comes down to him and TSC. Obviously I'd give the edge to TSC but Brady has a chance to compete at a top program and earn the spot.

Haven't had much focus on this since the Tressel days (as I recollect). Especially liked the business leaders coming in and speaking to our athletes who maybe are looking beyond the gridiron. Does anyone know if tOSU is still doing these sort of things? And if so, are other non-football athletes allowed/invited to attend?

There's been some great tOSU LB combinations over the years, and so the Arvell/Sonny might just be the best ever seen. Time will tell. tOSU D is predicated on having DL that eats up blockers, and that allows the LBs to roam and blitz. Plus, never underestimate the impact of great DB coverage, that forces the QB to stay in the pocket. Gotta have those other pieces of the puzzle as well.

The Sabres just got the #4 pick, #45 pick, and Louis Crevier for Bo Byram and Jordan Greenway. Um, thanks, Chicago.

Are you suggesting that it’s not necessary to yell “light the candle” on every drive? My God, where’s your joie de vivre?

I think "mashed potatoes!" is clearly the better option.

Great write-up. Fired up for this kid.

You got to my thought before I did BB. Appears that he's checking the 'recruiting' box, so we'll see how well he does with on field adjustments, teaching skills with our guys. Did I read that Day had Jeremiah and ? in the interviews with the WR candidates, and the player (or two) all pointed to Hankton as the one they wanted to follow. Would seem to me to be a very smart decision on Day's part. Don't know how he's going to solve the problem of only one ball, so targets might not be all the WRs want.....

I PREDICT THE POLLS WILL CHANGE 1,253 TIMES BEFORE THE FIRST GAME.

If USC merely recruited (and signed) athletes in a ten mile radius from USC, they'd be in the national championship each and every year. If one lives in the LA basin, you root for one of two schools, USC or UCLA. When lived there, scored student tickets for USC, oh three or four times a year. For a small, private school, USC has some of the most fervent followers ever. Anyway, their expectations are just as high as those for the Buckeyes, only the Buckeyes produce results.....

Kinda knew that, but wished/hoped he'd put some low numbers up and take home a big check/points. He did reasonably well on the Korn Ferry this year, with several wins, but more to the point, there he can hone his game. Never really thought much about the new courses he's played, but maybe after a practice round or two, can figure them out. But even so, watched the Nationwide last year on the Scarlet, and don't believe Neil did particularly well. And that's home cooking. Golf is a fickle game anyways.
