Take away that one fluke play and our elite players kicked butt. ...

Posted by ROPtiger on 12/17/19 at 8:12 am
Go back and read the whole story. It was in Sports Illustrated a few years ago. Not only did orthodontist Billy Cannon serve as dentist for prisoners, he was asked by the warden to take over as director of the entire medical facility.

I don’t really know how good Ohio State and Clemson are because neither is my team and neither has played my team. My team ....the LSU TIGERS....is much better than I thought just 3 months ago....and...
