Injuries

[Auhud08 243]

Any notable injuries from game 2? Saw Horton and Driscoll come out, but wasnt sure if that was just precautionary? Also any word on Brahms?

[boomstick 821]

Darrell Williams seemed to have the most worrisome injury. Came off the field with an apparent shoulder injury and wasn’t in uniform in the second half, although he was likely done for the night anyway. 

Slayton didn’t play, but that sounds like it was precautionary. You mentioned Horton and Driscoll. Tutt received some attention after an borderline OOB hit on the sidelines on his punt return, but he looked fine. I think that’s about it, at least from what I remember.

Any report on Darrell Williams' injury? @passthebiscuits?

I think they were worried about collarbone (AC) for D Will. To my knowledge X-rays negative. Day to day.

biggest shock was that they let Hastings and stove see the field! Amazing! Not sure any of us saw that coming this soon!

Modern medicine is crazy. I had an ACL in February of 94 and I was able to put on pads that September. These guys are flying through rehab.

Blows my mind that Stove and Hastings are already playing.

When I played high school ball in the 80s, and ACL was a one year rehab or career ending.

Sorry to hear that D. Williams is "day to day". Saturday should be an "all hands on deck" kind of game. This guy would be missed in a big way.

My grandfather tore his ACL playing football in the late 50s.  The scar looks like someone tried to amputate his leg with a chainsaw.

I feel sure that either Hastings or Stove would not have seen the field if the team MD and coaches felt that they were not ready to do so. This will definitely make LSU nervous with all of the speed we now have on any given play. (Sir Eli Stove, Sir Worm, and Sir Anthony Schwartz).  Imagine all of these in the backfield at the same time.

My great-great-great grandfather's horse tore his ACL and they ended up having to shoot him to put him out of his misery.

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge—her brother-in-law— an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"...

I once had a deer hit me while I was driving.  No, I didn't hit the deer; the deer hit me.  It was about dusk and I was driving the minivan we had at the time and saw a doe standing at the side of the road,  so I slowed way down to about 10 mph in order to stop if she decided to run/jump out in front of me.  As I was passing her, she took off and head-butted me right in the driver's side door, bounced off, and ran behind the van and into the woods.  Left a nice dent in the driver's side door.  Fortunately, I was able to pop it back out with a plunger.

But did you sever your ACL?

Nope, I’m too skilled for that.

In that case, I'd have to say she brought it on herself...

My dad claims to have blown out both knees as a fullback dragging 4 defenders across the goal line in overtime...winning the game, but ending his scholarship offer from FSU back in the 60's.  He also has one of those scars you describe.

they didn't have overtime in the 60's, high school, college or pros...might want to ask him to be a little more specific about what really happened to his knee....i take that back, the pros did for their playoffs

Back when I was a kid, we didnt have ACL's. Kids these days dont know how good they got it. Wimps.

When he first told it when I was a kid; he blew out both of his knees separately.  By the time he had grandkids, the story had grown a bit.

You guys don't know pain until you get sand in your eyes from hitting out of a sand trap. Golf is a bad ass sport I'm telling you.
