re: Texas 4 @ LSU 13 Final - Watch ESPN

Why is Hess still in there? Too early in the season to run pitch count near 100

well, it's finally happened. the pitcher "mitt pop" epidemic has reached lsu with will reese. that goes in the category of other silly athlete habits

blowing into a closed fist in warm temperature
wiping off the bottom of basketball shoes
qb licking throwing fingers
hitter putting up hold sign to umpire and stepping out of box
hitter relaxation routine of staring at bat logo and taking a deep breath
receivers doing some kind of constant hand motion before snap

i was hoping this would never happen at lsu. regardless, he did well.
