I remember seeing a small box of smelling salts in my parent’s medicine cabinet as a kid and not knowing what they were, My dad had apparently kept them from his time as a medic in the Army. I followed the instructions, crushed the capsule and took a deep breath. I also remember regretting my decision as a nine year old………

When I was in college, I worked at a plasma center. We had them everywhere b/c folks would pass out after they finished donating. Of course, we took some home to mess with our buddies when they were asleep. Talk about pissed off. Break one of those and put it under the nose of a dude in a deep sleep. He’s gonna jump up swinging. Good times.

NFL tried to ban those this week but i guess now teams just arent allowed supply them but players can use them if they purchase their own. Kinda dumb

Back In the 80's and 90's they had the smelling salts In most first aid kits. I had fun with them as a kid in the 80's, at Boy Scout outings getting friends to smell them. Ammonia in those capsules would put hair on you body back then.
It definitly wakes a man up.

Read the commentary on Amil Wagner on the ISD piece (yesterday?). I thought it had some actual information rather than the usual cliche BS these pieces have. Wagner's comments indicate several important things:

A. He's consistently over 300 (300-305.)
B. He can feel the greater strength and power/explosiveness.
C. He's humble and credits Landow and the strength program.
D. He feels more like a leader and wants to be.
E. Rudolph saw him as sometimes not as confident as he might be, but by the Penn State game, where they moved Abdul Carter over to his side because they thought it the weaker tackle side, Wagner began tentatively but then just unleashed and played top football. The Penn State performance vs Carter apparently pleased Rudolph greatly. (I have been lukewarm on Wagner. Hearing this frank stuff from Wagner and Rudolph has cured that.)
F. Wagner admits that actually "Moving" D-Linemen on running plays was somewhat a challenge but his "great guards" have helped that not to be much of an issue.
G. When mentioning O-Line teammates, he starts with "Ashton" and "Billy", and talks with "Knapp" regularly. He speaks well of "Sullivan", and says that he will do a great job until "Charles" gets back. THAT's who he mentions, folks, and that (unless something odd happens,) seems clearly to be your/our O-Line from the guy playing alongside.

Wasn't the Carter thing just because of his shoulder?

Clay always sucked at just about everything in my day, except basketball when they had a few good years with Jaraan Cornell and Lee Nailon. Never recall them doing a thing in football.

Edit - just saw Jaraan Cornell died a few months ago. Crazy.

Remember watching that game at a friend's apartment as the only ND fan out of 12 or so people at some sort of pregame or something (don't honestly remember). Everyone realized I was way too emotionally invested and started pulling for ND out of pity then when the catch happened the whole apartment went crazy.
