Nice. He can help our DL with their swim move as well.

Underrated comment and great dad joke
October 10th, 2022 at 1:06 PM ^
Nice. I was just thinking he would be an amazing edge.

Could probably teach our WR's a technique or two on their 'fly routes too.

Feels like he could've done some TE duty back in the day.

Plus 1997 National Championship Team 25th Reunion. Plus Top-10 matchup. Plus Big Noon (again).
Hopefully, all of this will equal several #buckleup threads next week.

Dude has some shoulders that require XL jersey and a 24" waist that makes it look like a dress!

25th anniversary. That hurts my soul

I was living in West Quad and didn’t really appreciate what was happening at the time.

Was that at the ‘08 Wisconsin game?

He was always a favorite of Jim Hackett for his exemplary work staying in his swim lane

Phelps is a legend. I'll never forget when he touched the wall by a fingernail to win.
Appreciative of his foundation/work towards mental health.
It would be great if he did a 'combo-campaign' with Sack the Stigma.
988.
GO BLUE.

Wait, are you Michael? I’ll never forget when you did that either!

Great catch!
Go Blue!

We mustn't let the Nittany Janklin's ruin our Saturday celebration.

I wasn't a huge fan of Phelps (the person, not the athlete - dude was fucking incredible) until he started speaking out about his struggles.
But him confronting the stigma of getting help for mental health issues was powerful. And athletes are definitely at risk in a big way: when you're a high level athlete, and it all goes away for one reason or another, it must feel like a big chunk of your identity goes away as well. Folks have cracked for less.

I used to hang out w/ him at Touchdowns Bar my senior year, and he was always a really nice, humble guy. He'd get free drinks occasionally and share them w/ his friends. Since getting diagnosed w/ ADHD 2 mo. ago, I've been reading a lot of books about how he and his mom developed creative solutions to keep him interested in school, including changing math problems to be swimming-centric. Depression and ADHD are very frequently co-morbid, sometimes ADHD leading to the depression because low self-esteem, and overcoming all that has impressed me the most about him.

Indeed. Add a sprinkle of anxiety and you’ve got my teens to late 20s in a nutshell.

iirc Harbaugh credits him with convincing the team about sleep quality and hydration
Sometimes it's those little things that add up to the difference at the world-class level.
