To Tanners mental health issues. I was talking about his deficiencies on the field only.

I'm a big Mangum fan and am rooting for him hard. He could have gone to a lot of bigger schools but he chose us and and want to see him finish his career well.

Apparently if you use the word depression, it is shaming.
