from teh al. I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth.
-- A Tennessee defender nearly broke Jay Prosch's nose, throwing his hands into Prosch's face after the big fullback made contact and nearly tearing the helmet off of Prosch's head. Prosch felt the blood right away. Instead of heading to the sideline, though, Prosch went right back to the line of scrimmage, got the play and went back to work.
"I felt it as soon as it happened," Prosch said. "I saw the blood and I felt it rolling down my face, it kind of made you feel like a monster when something like that happens. You love it. I was eating it up, and the ref finally told me I had to get out of the game." Prosch stayed in the game for four plays, blood still streaming from his nose.
After the referee sent Prosch to the sideline, Auburn's trainers initially thought the big Mobile product had broken his nose, but there was no break. Prosch still suffered a deviated sceptum and bent cartilage -- as close to a broken nose as a player can get without busting it -- an injury that barely slowed him down. Auburn scored on the play after the fullback was sent to the sideline, and by the time the Tigers started their next drive, Prosch was back in the game.
He's still sporting the black eye that comes with a big blow to the nose -- a break usually produces a double black eye that lingers as some blood flows into the area underneath the eyes -- but Prosch wears it like a badge of honor.
"He got smoked on one of the drives," offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said. "He was bleeding pretty good. He came out, looked like he had been in a boxing match." Ask Prosch which game has been the most physical for an offense that is averaging 320.3 rushing yards per game, and it's hard to answer. For him, every game is physical, although the Tennessee game stands out because the Vols defender Prosch matched up against most often kept throwing his hands to the face after Prosch made contact.
"It’s hard to say because they’re all extremely physical," Prosch said. "Obviously that’s where I got the bloody nose and the black eye from, so I think I would have to probably say that game. Other than that, If it wasn’t for that, I probably couldn’t say, because every game is extremely physical."
Prosch also played part of the season with a cast on his right hand to protect his thumb, an injury that affected his blocking somewhat because he couldn't use his hands at all, leaving him to make every block with his shoulder. He hasn't missed a snap, though.
Prosch, a throwback player at a throwback position, relishes the bumps and scrapes that come with his position. "I don’t know, that’s fullback for you," Prosch said. "I enjoy it."
