Ambry Thomas Returns to Practice

Submitted by DrMantisToboggan on August 21st, 2019 at 2:48 PM

On Allen Trieu’s podcast (The Notorious B1G), Sam Webb stated that Ambry Thomas has returned to practice. Good news for Ambry’s health, his progression back to the field, and for our team. Sam said to still expect Vincent Gray to start the opener, but this makes me optimistic for a Wisconsin return to the starting lineup for Ambry.

I like Cinci and want them to do well...and would rather forget Fickell's fickleness.... it'd be nice that Ohio has a team that can take it to OSU, like we have with MSU.  These two teams have colluded against us.. why do you think MSU beat us this past decade... Tressel would steer all his plan B guys to them, all the while shutting us out of the state... we need Cinci to get strong, and we can collude with them.

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying', "This is my message to you"

Singing' "Don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright."
Singing' "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!"

By virtue of a series of significant misunderstandings regarding the nature of Division I football and the subject matter of this blog--coupled with a severe case of face blindness--he thinks that Ambry Thomas is a young woman, and he refuses to admit his passion for her to his girlfriend, who happens to be enrolled at her safety school.

You've asked for advice on this multiple times. Even made a new thread. So here is all you'll ever need to know...

I'm guessing you are between the ages of 16 and 25. Grab your sack, count and make sure everything is still there, if yes, then go up and talk to her. "Hi, I think your cute, wanna grab a drink (or coffee or ice cream etc)?" It's as simple as that.

Women like confidence so if she is single she will probably say yes. If she turns you down, then hold your head high and be proud that you shot your shot.

Hopefully you are able to grab the drink right away but if she has to schedule it with you for a later date, try to make it as soon as possible. Attractive women are bombarded with hundreds of dudes sliding into the dms and texts every week. She'll cancel on you for a more recent option if you wait too long. 

While getting your drink, have a couple of conversation topics picked out so that you can steer the conversation away from the boring small talk of weather, work, school, family. etc. A conversation topic like "what's one embarrassing thing about you that not even your best friend knows?" 

It may take a little persistence but she'll answer and it will usually be something that is a little embarrassing but funny. (It's not like she is going to tell you about the bodies in her basement the first time meeting you. If she does though, run!). And make sure you have something embarrassing to share about yourself. This does two things:

1. It makes her feel a connection to you because she told you something that she keeps to herself. (you are no longer just the stranger getting her a drink, you are the guy who knows this deep dark embarrassing secret about her.)

2. It gives you something to joke with her about because it will most likely be something like I sucked my thumb till I was 13. Or I have a weird big toe. So joke with her about it. Give her the business. Circle back to it randomly. It becomes your guys inside joke. But keep it playful. Don't be a dick about it. For example (using the thumb sucking), saying one of my deal beakers is a woman who sucks their thumb till they are 13. 12 is perfectly fine and even encouraged but 13 seems way too old. If said with a smile and the right tone, that is perfect teasing, flirting combination. She'll smile, laugh and give you a little playful shove. This mean you are doing it right.

 

If the touch barrier doesn't get broken naturally, eventually you want to break the touch barrier. If you stay back from her, eventually she will think that you aren't interested in her and are just a fun person and you will get friendzoned hard! You can easily and naturally just put your hand on hers or her leg or the small of her back when you guys are in conversation. If this doesn't feel natural, all of a sudden come to the startling realization that you guys don't have a hand shake. I know it sounds completely stupid but trust me it works. So make up a super long and over the top, drawn out, funny handshake. Get creative with it. The key is make it fun funny and flirty for both of you. Do this and you will be more comfortable around her. 

 

If things are going well, after your drink, take her by the hand and lead her out of the place. Go to some place close like a bowling alley, mini golf, a park swing etc (a activity that doesn't take a lot of time). Just take charge and lead her somewhere and act like it is spontaneous. Have a couple more good, creative conversation topics that are ready to go. Can't remember them, then put them in your phone. It's your job to make the activity fun. Good conversation topic will do that for you.

 

At some point, if you are getting the vibe and the signals (deep eye contact, she's looking at your lips, she's playing with her hair, she leaning in close) sack up and go for the kiss.

 

Lastly, this should be all the help you need so stop posting stuff about your sparty crush. Either go for it or don't. You miss every shot you don't take.
