News Flash! Very Bad News for the Bison

[BisonNeil]

I know you all think I am negative, but this is really bad s#!t!

My inside sources tell me that Grant Olson is in the hospital, being prepped for an appendecomy.

Crap!

I saw a photo of him on Twitter/Instagram in the hospital bed...I won't post the link out of respect to Grant, but it doesn't look good.

It's true lakes told me so

[bkit29]

It's only monday, He has 4 days to get well.

Grant texted me from the OR....

[BisonNeil]

It's only monday, He has 4 days to get well.

Seriously?

[aces1180]

It's only monday, He has 4 days to get well.

Um, no...After that procedure (if true), he's done.

[unbison]

Seriously?
If it has not burst they can do a laproscopic procedure and he could be back

[CaBisonFan]

Who will take his place on the field? Sorry to hear this Grant.

[bkit29]

Seriously?

No, just trying to lighten the mood. Hope he can get well soon.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Follow-Up Care and Discharge

After completion of the surgical procedure, the patient is out of bed, ambulating, with appropriate pain control. Diet is advanced as tolerated, with plans for discharge on postoperative day 1 for noncomplicated appendicitis. Resumption to normal activity occurs within 1 day following the procedure; adequate analgesia allows safe return to daily duty.

This would surprise the hell out of me as they are not going to take a chance of popping a stitch (or whatever is used) and spilling bacteria laden material into the abdominal cavity. I in know way see him playing after a appendectomy in just 5 days.

that wouldn't be ideal.

Laparoscopic method. This procedure uses several small incisions and three or more laparoscopes—small thin tubes with video cameras attached—to visualize the inside of the abdomen during the operation. The surgeon performs the surgery while looking at a TV monitor. The appendix is removed through one of the incisions.
http://m.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/test_procedures/gastroenterology/appendectomy_92,P07686/



During a laparoscopic appendectomy, your doctor may decide that an open appendectomy is needed.

A laparoscopic appendectomy may cause less pain and scarring than an open appendectomy, although even for open appendectomy, the scar is often hard to see once it has healed.

Open and laparoscopic techniques are thought to be comparable in terms of low rates of complications. However, length of hospital stay, length of overall recovery, and infection rates are reportedly lower with laparoscopic appendectomy.

[aces1180]

In case he can't go, who moves into the middle? Beck? Littlejohn?

I do believe the single port appendectomy goes through the umbilicus. I wouldn't be to concerned about the outside incision as the area where the appendix was removed from.

Hopefully lakes is right but well we will see.

Grant is a warrior so if medically it is possible he will get it done.

Ben Rothlesberger had one back in 2006 the day before a game and returned 12 days later. The game was on a Thursday night. Matt Cassell returned in 2010 and returned to practice a week later but missed the game. Did some internet research and 1 to 2 weeks is common but so is 3 to 4 weeks.

But to expect a linebacker to do it... I dunno I'm not a doctor but my gut says no. Depends on the type of incision and other factors.

I would assume either Antonio Rogers starts or we play a lot of nickel.

This will be a huge loss. Massive. But this team has a knack for overcoming adversity. Who would have thought we have been better without Colton Heagle.

Get well Grant!

The Bison are alot deeper in the secondary than LB...not apples to apples.

Depth at linebacker has been staring us in the face the entire season. Wonder if Chad Willson could suit up.

True but nobody on the team does anything like Colton. He's basically a linebacker.
At least we have time to figure this out. I trust our coaches and I like our players.

If anyone saw the Tweets from Kolpack and Izzo today, along with the Media Blog, they were joking about a question Dom asked Bohl at today's presser regarding depth, especially at LB...I blame Izzo for the negative karma! :rofl:

I'd be lying to you if I didn't say this new development shakes my confidence at least a little bit as far as the natty goes. This will be tough to overcome. If anyone can, its the Bison D!

Best wishes for Grant. Bad deal for him.

Anybody who thinks he will play on Saturday is, well, just plain stupid.

[BisonNation11]

I think I heard somewhere that Littlejohn would play there... I in no way say this as official. I would guess that Littlejohn would fill in for Grant and then Ollman would fill in for Littlejohn? Maybe Rodgers? This news has totally ruined the last hour of my 2012 year. I hope and pray that there is some miracle to get this warrior on the field, but I also pray for his health and a speedy recovery. This team will be ready. This is just another obstacle this team will have to overcome and which may make this natty a very special one considering who is NOT playing.

Come on guys, there is no way in hell Olson will play. Rodgers? Maybe, but he has yet to play a down. Best case scenario the defense in the middle sucks. This is a really tough deal, no way to sugar coat it or homer it dudes. Be realistic.

At the beginning of the year, Kolpack declared Olson CAL, and he was right. Olson was the the heart and soul of the defense. His loss is immeasurable, and CABison is correct.

[HerdBot]

Depth at linebacker has been staring us in the face the entire season. Wonder if Chad Willson could suit up.

Chad was outside. Littlejohn has been our middle linebacker in passing downs. Antonio Rogers is an incredible athlete but not sure if he's had enough time to learn the tough position on short notice.

[Bisonator98]

Best wishes to Grant get well soon. Someone will have to step up. The strength of the Bison is the herd!

[herdmember]

Emmanuel to the middle and Jirik/Hagen/Hardie/Gordon rotate at DE! Not sure if you could coach him up in time, but talent wise I'd like to see it. Grant Olson is a complete stud, and above and beyond that, we'll miss the coach on the field. Way above and beyond that, I hope for health for Grant. Appears he's been feeling like crap for over a week. Prayers to him.

[1998braves64]

What about Thorton? Is that even a viable option or still too green at LB?

Dude your glass is half empty obviously. Grant Olson is a great player but he didn't start last year and our team was just fine on defense. He comes off the field already on nickel downs. It's the system. One player is not the team. Antonio Rogers has played middle linebacker during the cup cake games. He's one of the best athletes on the team. Do you really think the #1 defense in the nation is going to cower in fear over the loss of 1 player? Seriously? And Kolpack may be partially correct but we're talking about 1 game, not a full season

Ditto this. Im guessing our coaches will figure "something" out if he cant go. If he can, it will be very inspirational to the team.

Thorton came in against georgia southern when beck's shoulder popped out. he was only in for a few plays till beck came back in.

Yeah, if he can't play it's a big loss. Way to have faith in the other players and the coaches. Jeez, get a grip. If it was up to you guys, the trophy would be handed to SHSU.:facepalm:

Yep. Last year he wasn't our starting middle linebacker and we figured out how to win. He's one excellent player in an excellent system with excellent coaches. Did I say excellent?

I think Tyler Gefroh is back from injury. Hasn't played much due to injuries, but is a good athlete. Maybe he can get some reps.

[westnodak93bison]

Would be amazing to win the Natty without 3 of our top 4 defensive players.
I should say arguably.

Everything I've read says to avoid lifting 15 lbs or more for 1-2 weeks and to support your abdomen while coughing because its painful and further activity could lead to a hernia. They say to avoid strenuous activities. Not sure how much more strenuous of a job there is than playing middle linebacker. I say there is a zero % chance he plays but Im not a doctor obviously. Hes young, possibly a fast healer, and obviously in good shape

You do know that he left the team, right? Try to keep up with something other than recruiting.

[NDSUstudent]

Chad was outside. Littlejohn has been our middle linebacker in passing downs. Antonio Rogers is an incredible athlete but not sure if he's had enough time to learn the tough position on short notice.

We could move Ollman back to OLB since Shepherd is healthy again and I guess move Littlejohn to the middle.

[CarringtonBison]

I don't see any way he could play. Given a perfect scenario, I.e. not ruptured and laparoscopic removal, I can not see a surgeon clearing him for full contact 5 days after the or. Too risky for reasons listed. He might get away with some light running but not full contact. He is out the second they cut him open. Sucks ass, but they will find a way. Big loss.

[Facts]

Thornton. Ten char

You may not be a doctor but my wife is a nurse and she said there should be a 0% chance he plays on Saturday. People do stupid things though so who knows. Hope he gets well quickly. In my opinion the one person on defense we could not afford to lose. We'll have to see who steps up to fill in some very large shoes. All the adversity this team has fought through this season will make a National Championship all the more sweeter if they can get it done.

Agreed... huge loss. But we've had huge losses already this season and we've done very well defensively.

This is a big loss. I hope he takes care of himself first.

[HandoEX]

Rogers is listed as #2 on the depth chart, and as far as I know, is the only other player to have played Mike since Dinwiddie is gone (I wonder how he feels about his decision?).

Get well Grant, the team has your back I'm sure.

[A1pigskin]

If he does play, then we all know who the man of steel is.

[Elvis was a Bison]

If he does play, then we all know who the man of steel is.

Sorry, dude, but GO has already proven that he is a "man of steel" whether he plays or not.

Regarless of what Dr lakes posts on Katfan, Grant should not play. Complications that could be a result of further injury should outweigh the outcome of 1 game. Sams says it best. "Next man up!"

Prediction:
-Thorton starts on the outside.
-Has an Olsonesque performance.
-Bison win....Thorton gets MVP
-Bismarck Tribune in scramble mode. Torn as to whether or not to do a story on it.
-L-Silverado parties like it's 1999.

Hopefully he heals like jensen did a couple years ago when he broke his collar bone and was back for playoffs and was supposed to be out for the season

[stevdock]

If nothing else at least he does have National Championship game experience. I expect Esley to start and move Littlejohn inside.

[Bison05]

No chance that Grant is going to go. Rather than shifting players around, I would like to see them keep it more simple and just replace Grant. Rodgers was a JUCO so it's not like he is a redshirt that hasn't seen any snaps. I have faith the defense will be ready to go. It sucks. I would say Olson and Marcus are the two on that defense most difficult to lose.

[AjaxTheMighty]

We just lost our starting QB on defense. This is a bigger loss than many are willing to admit I think. This is devastating. We don't have a Chad Willson like last year. Esley is no GO. I think now NDSU might need to score 30+ to win. Next man step up is just a bunch of words, much like this message board. We don't have anyone who can fill GO's shoes and get 15 tackles. We are resting our hopes on a guy that was a backup QB last year. That is scary. It will be noticed. I'm not saying the Bison lose, but our number 1 defense took a massive hit. This is a nightmare. I was pretty confident in a Bison victory before, now it's a coin flip.

[thundarsdaddy]

I have a niece, who works as a Sports Trainer for UMary, who coincidentally was a student athletic trainer for last years Bison Footall team. I asked her if there is any way Olson could be taped/wrapped...etc, here was her response. Dont forget this is just her opinion.

Stitches would be minimal compared to normal but they still can be tender and you don't want to do sudden twisting with them is the issue. You could pad that area to help absorb shock with foam if he gets hit but it's hard to prevent any lifting, stretching or twisting that could rip them in football. Depends on how long the surgeon wants to leave them in or what type they are.

[Kermit]

If nothing else at least he does have National Championship game experience. I expect Esley to start and move Littlejohn inside.

^^^^^This.

Nobody is saying its not a big loss but if you think we are a shitty defense without Grant, than how did we win last year when he was a backup? And why does he go off the field on 3rd down and Littlejohn moves to the middle? Because we have a great system. One game is all we need for the other guys to step up. Rogers is just as skilled as Willson was. I trust our coaches. The offense and ST will habe to pick up the slack

He didnt say we would lose! He said losing Olson is a big loss! If you dont agree with that, your out of your mind! Either way this is going to be a tough game. We are going to have to play well to win. Some of you homers think all we have to do is show up! Just Wow! Its like, if there is any chance we might lose why even go to Frisco? This is college football, a nat championship game, against a very good team, we could lose!....That being said, I sure hope not! Go Bison!

[NDSUmulligan]

Kolpack tweeted Grant Olson will make the trip. Said nothing about his condition or chance to play however.

Where did I say we just needed to show up? All I said was if we can't rely on our back up then it's not good for us. Never said we couldn't lose or that losing Grant isn't a big loss I'm just not going to lose a bunch of sleep over it because I trust the coaches and players to adjust to the adversity and find a way.

He thinks Chad Willson was a middle linebacker and Esley will play middle. Apparently hes not familiar with backup middle linebacker Antonio Rogers and doesn't know who plays where. That kills any credibility. And his tone was "were fucked." I trust our coaches. He doesn't

Looks like Grant did not need surgery! Probable to play! Fire BisonNeil, save Grant Olson! :D

[herdmember]

anyone confirm it was even appendicitis? If he was sick since over a week ago that would seem odd? Great news he's atleast making the trip!

[DORMIE]

I had a laproscopy procedure on my colon last summer as I had a positive polyp. Surgeon took out 5 inches and left a 3 1/2 inch scar. Did not have stitches. They use some kind of surgical tape. This probably was a lot more severe than what Grant went through, however, I hope he can get thru it. It took my system 4 days to wake up and I farted and they let me go home. This will just give Grant's teammates a reason to suck it up, get focused on the challenge and play with Bison Pride and get the job done.

[AjaxTheMighty]

He thinks Chad Willson was a middle linebacker and Esley will play middle. Apparently hes not familiar with backup middle linebacker Antonio Rogers and doesn't know who plays where. That kills any credibility. And his tone was "were fucked." I trust our coaches. He doesn't

No I do NOT think Willson was a MLB! Willson was a stud (doesnt matter what he played) and now we have Olson, who is a stud and now is probable for the game. I never used your words or language. I'm saying it became more difficult to win. Pull your head out of.......the clouds and stop being nieve. That would be a fact. He's the general! G play with your duckies and bunnies. I trust coaches. But that doesn't guarantee wins.

[*Bisonrube]

Well I don't know what exactly is going on...I did see the pic on twitter of Grant in the hospital bed. Did he have surgery? Can he return if he did? Is Bohl bluffing? I know my wife just went in with an inflamed appendix and they eventually just put her on Antibiotics (as the doctor said they do in other countries..Americans always do surgery??) and the inflamation went down. So to sum it up...according to twitter it appears he is still in the hospital and we all won't know anything until Saturday. Either way...GO BISON!!

[BisonFan02]

From the Bison Media blog:

Head coach Craig Bohl said Olson will make the trip and he confirmed he had some tests done, but citing privacy concerns, would not elaborate any further. He’s listed as “probable” for the game.

[BisonTeacher]

Everybody try to lighten up. I was just being sarcastic about us not having a chance to win now.

We'll be fine. The game goes on. We'll either win or lose. Life will go on.

Too late. I already sold my tickets/ purple.

[DjKyRo]

Get well and stay well. Appendicitis can have some scary effects if not treated adequately and appropriate measures are taken afterward. Playing football can't be the first recommendation of his doctors and it's so much more important he be healthy and safe than playing in a game. I'd love to have him on the field but if there are any doubts, his safety has to be the top priority.

Get better Grant!

[MNLonghorn10]

DomIzzoWDAY #NDSU HC Craig Bohl says Grant Olson "will be on the plane and probable to play on Saturday" #FCSChampionship

Best wishes for Grant. Bad deal for him.

Anybody who thinks he will play on Saturday is, well, just plain stupid.

My bosses daughter is close friends with Grant. Apparently the doctors think they can control it temporarily with antibiotics so he can delay the surgery until after the game. This is good news if it works!

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge of GO's medical condition.

The "gold standard" treatment for acute appendicitis remains surgery, but medical therapy (antibiotics) is an option in apparently uncomplicated cases. About 10-15% of people treated with antibiotics alone will require surgery within one month, and another 25% will have a recurrence and require surgery within a year.

He finished his surgery himself at half time and used duct tape to close the wound. A SHSU offensive line man tried to punch him in the gut but that shattered his hand, wrist, and forearm.

Thanks. Nice pic. I think it says alot about him that he would do something like that.

Did grant play much in the game? I don't recall hearing his name on TV and he was only credited with 1 solo and 1 assisted tackle. That's just evidence of how many studs we have on defense. You never know who's going to have the monster game.

He played the entire game. Just wasn't 100%. I didn't hear Jirik's name called very often today either, but that is to be expected when you have the flu. Its unbelievable these two could even dress for the game let alone play. I know I wouldn't want to play with the flu or a inflamed appendix. Unbelievable effort by these two young men, and the rest of the D for stepping up when these guys were not at 100%.

Gutty effort from Grant for sure. He did not look very good on the sidelines when he came off. Amazing effort.

Man what a warrior. I would still be in bed or the hospital if I went through that. I thought Littlejohn really picked up the slack for the LB's with Olson being less than 100%.

Wonder if Olson has the appendix removed now or if they try and treat it and hope it doesn't flare up again in the future?

The doctors should get that sucker out of there ASAP.

Exactly Grant enjoy the win but get that thing out of there before something really bad happens. Then get healed up to do work to enjoy your senior season.

Brock tweeted tonite that he had it removed. Tweeted his room number.

I want to restate that i agree with SiouxNeil. if you think any player ever plays for the bison again, then you are stupid
