Yes or grab an NFL guy.
Well, if ND were seriously even considering moving on from BVG, looks like they may have missed out on a golden opportunity to swipe a replacement.
All I got by 0500 this morning was BK stating: "it was a significant left knee injury."
Having seen it a few times, I would want our guys to hit like that up to the whisle. It wasn't a late hit, and those guys are programed to hit someone, anyone, even if it was away from the play. Did the same thing playing HS ball. I remember on a sweep play, after the RB was already about 10 yards downfield, I turned around wanting to deck someone, it would have had no impact on the play, but the whisle hadn't blown.
In all honesty he is shoving him from behind though, don't really know how that is legal. I never thought it was dirty or he was trying to hurt the guy, but it was unnecessary and it sure appeared to me that he shoved him in his back as he was getting back up. Have you heard any more on the extent of the injury, if it is a tear. It looks that way but hopefully it's just a bad strain. I'd think we would hear more today. I've watched the clip over and over and it is sort of a shitty view of it. I wish it would have showed it a second earlier. To me it looks like he was down, attempting to get back up and shoved in the back as he was starting to get up away from the play. He wasn't blocked from the front or side.
I thought some of the early speculation was that it was multiple tears PCL, others. One described as "worse than an ACL tear" which I though was the absolute worst you could get short of what happened to Napoleon McCallum. I haven't heard anything definitive though.
Yep. 5 Mil if he fails to get taken in the first round. Something like a $50K premium on the policy. Which is why I think he still comes out. That $5M is guraanteed if he falls out of the first round. He doesn't collect on it if he doesn't enter the draft at all. So either he gets drafted in the first round and gets first round dollars (although after about the 12th pick that's not spectauclar) or he gets $5M plus whatever contract he gets for getting drafted elsewhere. Seems to me a no brainer.
Just by chance did you watch the replay of this? I honestly didn't think that hit should be legal. It was a push from behind. I agree I don't think it was meant to injure but to me it looked illegal. A push in the back.
that was Florida State correct
No Colorado in the Orange Bowl in 1991. We beat them the year before, but this was the year they were hyped all year long by the media. Rocket returned a punt for a TD with about a minute to go. Got called back for a clip call that is, well, questionable. We couldn't finish the drive and they went on to beat us. We arguably would have had a shot at Lou's second NC if we beat CU in that game. It was harder to argue we should have won after the '90 Orange Bowl win because Miami beat us that year.
I remember the play being a bogus call but couldn't recall who we were playing. I knew it cost a national championship though.
