Meh we need them more this fall. This spring is a joke as shown by what's been happening. It's not going to hold the same weight as a regular season for most people.

So put yourself in the coach's shoes (you're good at that). The team doctors tell you these guys can play but they're not 100% so they're at a higher risk of re-aggravating the injury (or injuring something else trying to compensate) knocking them out the rest of the spring and potentially part of next fall as well. Do you play them now or do you wait until the medical personnel say they're 100% ready to go?

I'm being presumptuous here too with that scenario but I'm just trying to point out that this isn't as simple as it would be during a normal season followed by a full offseason.

SOFTNESS shouldn't be celebrated at NDSU is all i'm saying.

For the record, I do think it’s a little weird that he’s not listed on injury reports anymore but is still not playing. It’s at least interesting, and from a “coachspeak” standpoint I don’t see what’s wrong with “So n so is still dealing with an injury, is day to day for now” rather than speculating it’s a non-injury related scratch, which would be concerning.

That’s how I see it unless I missed something.

Where are these injury reports you speak of?

I am really just referring to the one on the broadcast from last week. If anyone has a more official one that lists Sproles, I’ll kindly shut up.

I guess that's my point, there are no official ones.

[El_Chapo]

would love to sit and talk with Schoenig, Randunz and people that left this winter..

That’s fair... but why list Weber, Luepke, and a few others on the “injury report” but not Sproles if he is indeed injured? It’s at least suspicious, no?
