Thank you for this.

I knew Shane had been hired by Mississippi State as the cornerbacks coach, and was later hired by South Carolina for the same position. I was not aware that Shane had the added responsibility of running backs coach his last season at MSU.

Also, just because Lefty seems to like personnel groupings, we have no guarantee he's the one assigning players to groups. It could just as easily be that Lefty provides the position coaches descriptions of the duties needed in a particular group, such as the tailback and fullback will both have blocking duties, the tailback will release into the flat as a check down, etc. And then the positions coach might have the duty of assigning players to that group.

I'm not saying this is how it is. I'm just saying, tons of teams are using personnel groupings, but we seem to be having a particularly tougher time of it getting a consistent tailback production going in the ground game using said groupings. We have no idea what we are doing differently, if anything, from other offenses that use groups that is causing our ground game struggles.

Also, while I am not being true to the question posed, when discussing supreme chocolatey goodness, there is but one correct answer.

Milton Hershey just didn't want the company to use it in their advertising, for whatever reason. Of course the company itself claims it was because he didn't want to whore it out (my phrasing, not theirs, obviously). I'm sure he probably had a good reason. But yeah, it is an excellent academic institution in its own right, regardless of the benefactor.

The actual Mars bar is my favorite candy bar. So naturally it cannot be found anywhere in western civilization. Snickers with almonds is just a close enough facsimile to piss me off that it's not the genuine article.

Having said all that, my BIL is a sales rep for Hershey, and he hooks us up sometimes.

Also, if you aren't aware of the Hershey School, Google it. Milton Hershey forbid the company to use it in advertising, but it's one of the most heartwarming philanthropic endeavors by a major corporation that I'm aware of.

I'm not 100% certain there's a distinction there. Medically speaking, I believe you get cleared for a return to athletic activity, and at that point, the medical staff is out of it. Cleared is cleared, from a medical standpoint. It then becomes the domain of the S&C staff and coaches to determine if said medically cleared player can take the field in a game.

I don't know if I've climbed up on this particular soap box before, but if you need to pour sauce all over your ribs before people eat them, you messed up your ribs. Someone putting a rack of dry rub ribs in front of me tells me those ribs are probably delicious and in no need of sauce. Sauce is used to cover up things like boiling your ribs

Heard somewhere on here that it broke in three places. You're still right, if the plate holds it should be fine. But a plate covering three breaks, I imagine that isn't a small plate. Get some torque up on either end of that and it could be a bad situation.
