PALE. PERSPIRING. PRESENT.
What have we been doing today to excuse a relative absence from the blogosphere? This:

We're at Division One Sports in Franklin, Tennessee getting foot placed to ass by trainers who, in the name of journalistic science for the Sporting News, are doing unholy things to us in order to convey exactly how much pain it takes to get in college football shape. That is an EDSBS shirt, and we do have a rubber band between the legs, and yes, we gave up on dignity somewhere around age seven.
Fun fact: football programs want speed more than anything else! And ponies! Pretty, pretty ponies.
(P.S. Small victories: they told us we did better than Clay Travis on day one, so we've got that going for us.)

With a much wonkier focus, of course. FYI, Clay was the cameraman.

“a g-damn blogger has no m-f’ing business doing things of journalistic f’ing integrity like this!
you g-damn bitches are spoiling real journalism, leeching like dirty parasites off the teat of mass m-f’ing media! stop running suicides and crab-walking, you asshole, that type of behavior belongs solely in the domain of true reporters!”

bloggers out of their mom’s basement, doing athletic stuff. I won’t believe it till I see video and even then you’ll have to convince me it’s not flash.

i dont think that being “better than Clay Travis” in athletics is anything to brag about.

I just hope those guys don’t do a number on your knees the way Pete Carroll and Chris Carlisle did to mine last week.

Bonus points for Orson if he can get the instructor to wear the EDSBS shirt.

Orson returns to shameful roots in the Volunteer state. YOu can never escape your past.

Division One Sports Trainer: Orson, I want you D.O.R.
Orson: No sir. You can kick me outta here, but I ain’t quitting.
Division One Sports Trainer: Get into your fatigues, Orson. By the end of this weekend, you’ll quit.
Division One Sports Trainer: You can forget it! You’re out!
Orson: Don’t you do it! Don’t! You… I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g… I got nothin’ else.

After the drills, Swindle gave the instructor some good tips for his EveryDayShouldBeMarchingBand blog.

so many “full metal jacket” quotes went through my head viewing that image that i came close to r. lee ermy overload. but if there’s a cutline for that photo it has to be “waitin’ on the bogan.”
just imagine pete carroll telling you that you are a beautiful flower, orson, and you’ll get through it.

Nothin for nothin, that trainer looks fat.
IF you’re not up at 4am and running headlong into a backbacking surf then doing situps in knee deep 65 degree water, well you’re just not trying hard enough…
this is how Alabama trains when they go to Gulf Shores, or Destin…
