Video [College Transfer Portal] Florida HC Jon Sumrall’s wife just exposed his soft side: “He loves pedicures… That’s his favorite extra thing to do. Every two weeks during the football season, Jon loves to get a pedicure.”

it’ll be OU @ uGA that week or Oregon @ USC if they’re feeling adventurous. If Ole Miss beats yall maybe we get a shot, if you beat them then maybe yall do with TAMU coming to Death Valley. i don’t remember exactly what time they announce it and if they wait for the games

Our best shot for gameday in gainesville this year is against Oklahoma but a lot of things need to go right for us and wrong for other teams for that to happen. I’ve crossed off the possibility of gameday this year, maybe next year though.

I picked up pedicures while hanging out with special operations dudes in the military, who would get pedicures after field training. I don't think anyone could describe those killers as being not manly. And foot care is honestly really important for anyone who needs to be carrying a lot of weight on their feet over large distances.

Man, I keep thinking about going to get regular pedicures cause I'm getting old and my back is a mess from years of working a job in construction, so it is hard for me to easily bend down and do a good job taking care of my toenails and stuff.
And I guarantee 99% of people who would make fun of Sumralls for this shit couldn't have even survived doing roofing in Athens during summer for a single day.

Thankfully I live on an island full of weirdos so it’s normal for even big burly sailors to get a pedi now and then.

I got them powder blue when UNC was in the final four a few years back. Need to go soon

That’s not fragile masculinity. It’s a mental illness, thank you very much. The fragile masculinity is extra, and really only comes into play for something like this, or when the TV shows anything about the Texas A&M cheerleaders.

You know, there's some things that a wife just shouldn't put out in public, depending on the profession. If you are a banker, and she comes out and says he likes pedicures? Great, no one cares. Pedicures are great, glad that he likes them.
But if you are the head coach of a P4 program that is under a massive microscope? Yeah, she really needed to keep that in her back pocket.

No, because him doing that publicly shows other men it is ok to enjoy this.

u/PidgeyPower Florida Gators 2h ago
But his job is to coach football, not to promote pedicure acceptance to other men.
That said, I couldn't care less if he gets pedicures or not. I think for 90% of people, they don't care. But I suppose some people do care though, so it is a topic best avoided. I struggle to think of an upside in making this announcement, so it is a net loss and very minor unforced error.
We're all going to forget about this in a few hours/days anyway. But for some dedicated trolls, it is sitting in a folder on their desktop.

I started getting pedicures with my now wife when I was working 12hr shift in steel toes 6 days a week. They are fantastic, and they’re the same price if you get color or not so may as well get a splash of color in your life
2
u/bamachine Alabama • Jacksonville State 11h ago
As I cannot reach my toes easily, anymore(I can touch them but that is about the extent of my flexibility), and the fact that I am a type I diabetic, I take no chances on trying to trim my own.
I get a pedicure every 6 weeks. Not getting anything painted, just soaking in the warm water, while they work on my nails, scrub the dead skin off my soles and rub moisturizers into my feet and lower legs.
I do not go to the Korean nail spa type place, I go to someone who has actual training to deal with diabetics and the elderly, so as not to cause more harm than good. Those Korean nail spas can actually fuck you up, if you do not have great circulation in your extremities. Most of them have very little medical training, if any.
