Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

SPEAKER_7 (2:04)

Botox, onybotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.

SPEAKER_8 (2:17)

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

All aboard the AM Departure from Platform 334, The Auburn Express.

We're running on time and expecting no hiccups. Doing the work, hard work, to bring you the best Auburn Sports content you'll find anywhere.

SPEAKER_9 (3:38)

Yeah, it's an extreme example, but they did, they recorded really well in the trenches, and evaluated really well down there, that they opted for experience over talent. But then when the experienced guys weren't getting it done, I was like, well, man, these guys are still talented.

It's just, they can't get any worse. Let's just throw them out there and see if they can play better.

SPEAKER_10 (3:59)

Right.

SPEAKER_9 (4:00)

And they did. So, how much do you trust the evaluations behind the guys that you picked?

SPEAKER_2 (4:12)

And that goes back to the last one. Going back to the evaluation conversation, it's like, I don't know how much I trusted at all, because I'm like, you picked these guys. So, are the guys behind them really? Is the drop-off that severe? That you're like, listen, okay, you guys are pretty even and you're not getting the job done. But this is, again, where my frustration is, because it seems as if they've been willing to do that in four of the five spots along that offensive line. Yeah. Jacob Strand didn't get it done for a couple of games. They yanked him up out of there. They put somebody else in there.

What's my man's name?

What's Cole Skinner?

SPEAKER_9 (4:54)

Oh, Skinner. Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (4:55)

Cole Skinner wasn't getting it done. Out of there. Joe Simmons wasn't getting it done. Out of there. Stan Ramil, for the most part, has been decent. So he hasn't gotten benched.
