Travis Beck's Toughness

[BisonHorns]

We reclassified 4 yards a Zenner, I think we need to develop a scale of toughness based on Becks. I propose a five tier system with him sitting at 5 after he popped his own shoulder into place on the field to keep on playing. Use this thread to share thoughts on Beck or to try out the system.

I'd put not giving up on the Waters after the superman move that hurt his shoulder at a solid 4.

[TransAmBison]

This thread has merit.

[Catman]

Beck is like Michael Meyer from the movie Halloween. Gets hurt....lays on the ground for a couple of seconds and pops back up. It really is kind of freaky!! Can not describe the toughness this DUDE has!!

[EC8CH]

HA! I just pointed this out in the LB depth thread. I guess others did notice it.

Shaking on the ground in pain, popping your shoulder back in place, jumping up and walking to the sideline, coming back in 5 plays later, and then staying in as other's pop your shoulder back in between plays???

If this is the guy you're basing a toughness scale on... most of us would be rounded off as insignificant digits.

[bisonmike2]

Anyway we can get Beck a Jax type shoulder/arm replacement so he's good to go for the playoffs?

Incredibly, the impact of landing from the dive isn't what caused the problem. But as you pointed out, TB did not quit on the play at that point. His second effort while lying on the ground is what caused the dislocation.

[TransAmBison]

I wonder where childbirth would land on the Beck level of toughness/pain? Half a Beck?

On another tangent...that guy that got his butt kicked over the summer...was he the recipient of a full Beck? Or since he had a buddy with him, did he just receive half a Beck? If so, the punishment he received was the same as childbirth?

For reference purposes, should we call it a BTF, as in Beck Toughness Factor or perhaps BTR, as in Beck Toughness Rating?!

Childbirth = pain? Whatever. Our last child's birth was a scheduled c-section. Got to pick out the date and everything. Did Beck get to schedule the date and time of his shoulder separation? Nope.

Beck's not only tough but he's fast also. Not too many people can elude the police handcuffed and in flip flops.

This whole team is filled with guys tougher than steel! I mean seriously...

Colton Heagle: Single-handedly (pun intended) destroyed GSU triple option. BTR=4
Brock Jensen: Flu, IV's, turf toe, no problem. Come to think of it, a lot of the team had the flu for that game! BTR=4
Zach Vraa: He's broken both collar bones and he's now become a go-to receiver. BTR=3 (btw I have a broken collar bone right now and it's not fun)
Grant Olson: Work done on appendix and still plays the NC game BTR=3.5

Thats just a few off the top of my head. It's also a part of the reason why I love this team. They're just warriors!

He did play hockey. Just sayin.

[Herd12]

Maintaining his injury is going to be a huge deal for this team moving forward. I anticipate a lot of the nickel package (Beck, LJ + 5 DB) with Shepherd and/or Heagle down in the box area. It's not that Esley Thornton isn't a good player. A lot of teams are playing with fast spread offenses and not wanting to try and run against the Bison. Sometimes it's just about getting your best 11 guys out of the field, and with GO's injury I don't think there's any question that Shep is one of the best 11.

[CAS4127]

Ya, and now MWill is questionable with an MCL injury from what Jack said over the noon hour--or did I not hear that correctly?!

[NorthernBison]

I heard he is questionable with a knee injury. The play looked harmless but when he came up limping I thought knee and hyperextension right away.

Hey you two I believe there is an injury thread to post that stuff in.

Is this a linear scale or logarithmic? (For CAS, a 2 on a log Beck scale is ten times a 1. Tornadoes are rated on a log scale, with F5 being the highest).

Log is better for comparing against other teams, while linear is more appropriate when comparing against other Bison. For example, an average Bison player might be 80% of a Beck at 4. But, a good player from a good conference team might only rate a 0.05 on a linear scale, which is 1%. They'd have a 3 on the log scale. Also, the log scale offers the benefit of negative numbers, so that players from that school to the north can be appropriately ranked at say, -2, or 0.00001% of a Beck. Other Bison on the log Beck scale would all be piled at 4.8, 4.9, 4.95. But, you can never have a zero on the log Beck scale, so maybe we should just forget it as unworkable.

I have met like five people in my life that would be doing what Beck is doing and all of them had a completely different level of psychosis among them. There comes a point where you actually have to enjoy the pain to keep going. There is playing through pain and then there are guys like Beck. 99.9% of the population would quit and get it fixed and not one person would blame them for it.

While I am sure he is being told to let the staff know when it is too much, I would like to see less of him on the field when the game is in hand. At this point someone else needs the reps way more than he does.

This makes it even more imperative that if there is an opportunity to put someone away earlier rather than later, they got to make that happen. So when an opponent is on the ropes, the Bison have to crank it up. 10 less plays, for example, on the field are 10 less opportunities for Beck to have to deal with putting his shoulder back in place one more time.

CAS was tough too. the dislocated elbow and playing with that contraption (chicken wing) of a brace the next weekend was legendary. didn't you completely tear you pect or bicep muscle too?

[Bison Gal]

I'm gonna go with BTF...Big Tough F*****...

BTF it is.......awesome!

To recap:

Breck sets standard at BTF of 5
GO appendicitis BTF=3.5
ZV broken collarbone BTF=3.0
BJ everything BTF=4.0
CAS football playing days BTF=5.0

Rob Porter BTF= -Zennerx1000

And for TAB and Izzy: any woman who's given birth naturally with back labor BTF=5^1000

For anyone who doesn't know about back labor, best way I can describe it is it feels like someone is sawing your lower spine in half with a handsaw as you are pushing out a bowling ball.

My ex-Jezebel tried that fake "back labor" thing on me with our last child. Some women will do anything for a non-reciprocal back rub. Come to think of it........I think I'm gonna launch a civil suit against that damn Lamaze instructor. On what grounds? I don't frickin' know. CAS, any ideas?
There's another bunch of hooey. (Lamaze)

[td577]

I know someone will jump on me for this, but it needs to be said anyways.

After childbirth and labor, the brain is programmed to forget most of the pain. If it wasn't, women would stop at one child. So the reality is no one can effectively rate labor pains since they are forgotten anyways. The memories of pain are fabricated because that is what it is supposed to be.

[TransAmBison]

I think it is funny when women say how painful labor is. I don't know if my wife experienced any real pain during her labor with the twins. For example, she took a li'l nap after every contraction and didn't wake up until the next contraction started. Pretty peaceful if you ask me. Oh, she made a big to do about it all, but she is a bit theatrical.

Some deductive reasoning may be in order here to get to the bottom of this, so here I go.

I have blown out my ACL-->painful

I have dislocated my shoulder-->very painful.

I have dislocated my elbow-->extremely painful to the point of almost pissing myself.

I have been kicked in the nadsack-->incredibaly painful to the point that I almost both pissed myself and threw up.

Now, women claim that childbirth is THE most pain one could EVER experience, and that we men will NEVER understand or appreciate that.

Well, here's the thing, I for one (as a man) NEVER want to be kicked in the nadsack again, and I would guess there isn't a man (that excludes Tranny & RTO by the way) that would. For statistical data, just ask yourself whether you have ever heard a man say he would like to get kicked in the nadsack "again". None in 10 billion have said it.

Also, I can say that I really would rather not dislocate either my shoulder or elbow again, if I had the choice. The ACL tear really wasn't that painful, but I guess if I had a choice between that and the shoulder/elbow, I'd take it, although the rehab was longer.

On the other hand, how many women have said they would like to have another baby??!!

The point is, for those that don't get it, is that, based upon the above, giving birth appears to hover somewhere around the blown ACL in terms of the BTF, and really no where near the dislocated shoulder, and certainly shouldn't even be said in the same breath as a nadsack kick!!

[BlueBisonRock]

BTF like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you calculate using Olson as your base, you get a number approaching one. If you use the typical BV poster you get a number between zero and one (much closer to zero for most). If you use the BigUND as the base, you are correct. Boom! Infinity.

I was in an accident in which one of my kidneys exploded and started filling my abdominal cavity with blood. By the time the helicopter reached the hospital I had a two liter sized blood clot inside of my body. The surgeons told me afterwards that my pain was off the charts and there is nothing to compare to what I went through so..... I am guessing 4 BTFs for me.

I've heard that kidney stones hurt just as bad as childbirth...I experienced them firsthand and they did hurt like hell...

Well, um, if your surgeons had to tell you rather than you actually experiencing it, then I would be thinking it was near the "childbirth" BTF, which, as has been explained, is no where near a level 4 BTF!!

[BisonHorns]

I experienced it. I was awake. I rode to the first hospital in the back of a pickup. The pain was so intolerable I thought I was going to sh$% my guts out to relieve the pressure. I stand by the 4BTF's. I could have gone for 5 if I got up and was willing to be tackled.

Al right then, having a lacerated kidney is a Level 4 BTF, you have defended your position well, much like TB.

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/pain_rating.png

Birthing results in lots of screaming, crying, wishing it was over, etc, then within an hour the mother is smiling for pics with the new kid.

Getting kicked in the nads results in the guy laying on the ground unable to move. Pain that literally shuts the body off is on another scale, along with kidney stones. Labor can last for hours or days so the cumulative pain could be higher and is definitely not something I would volunteer for.

[MAKBison]

The way he laid his body out in the kstate game at the detriment of his shoulder and then did his best to keep the play broken up after landing on said shoulder I will always remember as that play caused a 5 or so loss when they were within reach of a possible field goal. That play defined his whole career imo.

Hope he is okay, so much fun watching him fly around on defense and make big plays.

[A1pigskin]

I heard he had a sprained calf. Is this true?

That is an awesome Pic. He looks like he is running on air. This pic would make for a good decal on a tailgating unit.

Plagiarising a sign from a recent College Gameday -- Travis Beck is so tough, sharks dedicate a week to him.

[Ndsu84]

Coach said on Sundays show something about Travis being injured. Any word?

[HerdBoy]

I heard he had a sprained calf. Is this true?

At the press conference today Coach K said he had a strained calf. He expects him to be playing this weekend against USD. Not sure what the difference is between a sprain and a strain. I suppose a sprain would be more joint (ankle) related while a strain is more in the muscle? I don't know.

[BisonNation11]

Strained calf. Said we all know Travis, he'll be out running around Saturday

[El_Chapo]

Let T Beck start, come out after 1 play, no reason to risk him or hardie.

[1998braves64]

Sprains relate more to ligaments etc and strains is more muscle centered. When you sprain an ankle its the ligaments in your ankle that get "damaged" not the muscles (although they may be collateral damage perhaps?).

Not having Beck out there would 'save' USD players. Not gonna happen. You gonna tell him he can't play?!

I will always love the PxP guys description of that soccer player coming out to try to make that kick. Something like 'one of his ambitions is to swim with sharks, well he's swimming with the sharks without a cage right now'

Kick is around the 24 min mark

That was an intense game.

does anyone know his workout numbers
40, long/high jump 3 cone, bench etc...

There was an article a while back that said he won't reveal his 40 time but that it was fast. I don't remember where it is. He will have to put it out there for the next level at some point. I would say high 4.6s. He is a pretty fast guy.

Best I've ever witnessed in person by far. I can honestly say I was physically exhausted after the game and my voice was shot for days.

From what I've heard out of Coach K's mouth was that Travis and Austin will both be ready to go. What's going on with Dudz?

Hamstring? Not sure. We haven't been seeing him on special teams as much, so I assumed that they're taking it easy with him.

Thus his lone injury of the season was from Heagle...assuming he got bruised on the play where they laid each other out.

Yep, that was the play. I was a little worried when I saw Colten punch the ground before getting up, thinking it was one of those frustrated responses to maybe a serious injury. Both of our senior safeties laying on the ground was not something I wanted to see in the first quarter of our season opener.

I think Duds has a legit chance at next level, speed is huge. Colton is a true Bison. He and TB have sacrificed their bodies for us/NDSU football. Don't believe either will go to next level. Beck is a bit small and Colton has lost too much of his wheels, but both are NDSU HOLer's easily, and two of my all time favorite players. What is unique about them is that offenses HAVE to pay attention to where they are at this level. They are just that good. Pretty fucking special players right there!!

Beck to me seems to have almost one or two plays a game where your jaw just drops and hits the floor, like the superman dive he made at K ST, he didn't make the tackle but forced the qb to get out of the pocket. Then you have Heagle who even though he does not have big numbers like a traditional safety, he just seems to be in on damn near every play. I swear that it seems to me that if he isn't making the tackle he is withing 5 yards of it or in pursuit closing in. The guy just seems to always be right in /around the action every play. And it is rare that he gets caught out of position. He just might be the best run stopping safety in the FCS(and his tackle numbers might back that up). Plenty of other players who are not far behind him on instincts as well, Heagle is just one step above them is all so it seems.

Pretty cool, isn't it! Huge shoes to fill in Heagle, Beck and Dudzik. They are A main reason our D has been tops in FCS for 3-4 years.

Yep, Toth was after me and Tony Monte. Very good skills/player. He went to Roughriders for a few years I believe. Raw, but talented.

Can't teach instincts! Beck and Heagle have more of that than Dudz, but Dudz has more natural ability IMO. Those are the things that make all 3 HOLers.

Thanks. I was thinking like '88.

People make a big deal about how many points we should win by. I like to win and everything but it's a bigger deal to me just watching how f---ing great these guys are. So much of what they can do is far beyond normal.

Instincts and football smarts, the defense just seems to be loaded with them. My better half and I went to the Tenn Alabama game last weekend (I wore my NDSU shirt and the responses were unbelievable) and Tennessee's defense just seemed clueless. Out of position, lack of effort, yada yada yada. NDSU's defense IMO would have honestly done better and that is no joke. The group of guys behind us had some pretty decent knowledge of us (Bison). They asked me who was our stud defensive player was and my response was "all of them". I finally did give them a name..... Kyle Emanuel, and a few seconds later the 5 of them were cheering " Kyyyylllee Kyyyylllee (you get the picture, they had a few drinks at that point), well this guy behind them asked who the hell is Kyle and the guy responds he is a butt kicking pass rusher from NDSU and we should have recruited him. That receiver from Alabama had a field day, because the QB never got any pressure all game and picked them apart.

Toth was my neighbor 1990-1994 He was a BEAST much like T Beck.

I saw him jump out a 2nd story window and hit the ground running.

[1998braves64]

I remember after a couple of games that heagle played in his freshman year I told my wife he was going to be a great player for us as he was always right there in the action that GSo game was legendary! I will never forget that performance. Then next year he is out and they are able to make a game of it.

Couldn't agree more........the 3 teams I wanted to see against NDSU were EWU, Illinois State, and UNI.(Those are the teams that could beat the Bison) So, what will end up happening is these teams in "the bracket of doom" beat the crap out of each other and a crappy team like Fordham makes a run and probably looses their starting QB in the process but makes it to the championship game. Meanwhile 3 teams lay down for the Bison, at home of course,(like the Jacks always do) and they kick the crap out of a crippled Fordham team for another title. Sound about right?



Fordhams QB is already out. I don't know if he is ever coming back but he has been out for a few weeks.



NDSU just lost one player to season ending injury. Look for a front page article pointing to the severity of the situation and how the team is going to have to rally during this devastating time. :silly:

Calm down. I didn't see a major problem with it...the Forum will likely try and dramatize the situation with a front page article at some point won't they?
