I’m sure you’re right…and the thought of Ben becoming super basketball Ben after 20+ years of abstinence is very appealing. Alas…that’s not as funny. 😁

If it were to play out such that Ben finally finds out what a woman feels like after all these years and then comes out and drops a 50 burger on Southern, I would find that at least equally as amusing 😁

Back when I went through flight training, a buddy of mine introduced his technique to prepare himself the night before his checkride. (Checkride = stressful flight monitored by an evaluator that dictates if you’re still qualified to fly without an instructor)

He called it the “4 S’s”…Steak (good meal), Sleep (plenty of it), Scotch (not too late though), and Sex.

Get all 4, have a good checkride.

Maybe there’s something to that last one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(I wonder if @skyIdub does/did something similar?)

Well…you are correct. That would be quite amusing. All that pent up energy finally released, a new supercharged Ben!!

Not a great idea mid season…weakens legs. 😎

Question for the Illini hoops analysts. What are the odds that Big Z might replace Big T in the starting line-up?

The super religious don’t necessarily abstain… they just feel guilty about it when they don’t. It’s one on the many reasons I’ve abstained from being religious. 😉

My son jokes about some of the good athletes he’s friends with dating the good female athletes from our town and one day “making D1 babies” (his words, not mine).

In this case, the offspring would literally be “D1 babies”.

Kayden and Kylan are playing 32 mpg. We need Petrovic and Lee as backups. Petro needs at least 15 mpg to get him ready for when the K- bro's get into foul trouble, injury, or fatigue. Dee, Deron and Luther never came out and the tired legs showed up vs North Carolina.

While it is fun to watch David bring the ball up the floor I don't seem him succeed against a good pressing team. Andrej has potential.

Re: Sex and Athletic Performance

From my extensive research, that has led to 5 biological children. ;)

I feel way more energized for around 2 days post coitus. I believe this has to do with the free-testorone boost. This should be one of the benefits that marital relations bring. Consistent sex and therefore maximum ability to handle life. It's unfortunate that so many see marriage to be the end of sex.

If KW can maintain this kind of performance and draft stock through the season, it will be great for recruiting…
Every game I think it’s about time for a Wagler clunker. While he’s had disappointing games, he rarely goes a full 40 without some high level plays.

Not sure he’s wired in a way that he doesn’t at least maintain some semblance of what he has been doing.
