Visual Description:  Shell-shocked coach on the hot-seat.

NEESS  =  SENSE,  ADEGA  =  ADAGE,  TREELT  =  LETTER,  CLEDOK  =  LOCKED   —   Giving us:  SSAALTO

Clue/Question:  When it came time to explain the team’s defeat, the coach was this.

Answer:  AT A LOSS

(. . . for words.  Not bad, but not all that tough.  No new clue words today, and none of them gave me any trouble.  We’ve seen the jumble CLEDOK before.  I like seeing the word “adage”.  It’s very appropriate for the Jumble.  The answer letter layout was fine.  It’s just that the answer was pretty obvious.  I see that Jeff is giving it to State again!  I bet in the movie 300 Jeff was the only one cheering for the Persians!  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Makin’ the bacon!  I still enjoy the seduction, but at my age I could do with a little less pursuit.  And, I would probably settle for just a steady tingle.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
