Bison Injuries

This is a head scratcher for me. He came back for his helmet at the half and I asked him if he was going to be okay, and he smiled and said "yeah, no problem" and then jogged to the locker room. Hard for me to believe a guy with a torn ACL and meniscus tear would jog off the field without a limp or obvious discomfort. Weird.

I shredded my meniscus and had no clue until the next day.

Don't know why Vraa got a waiver. By reading the rules, he shouldn't have.


Here is the main excerpt from the DI manual:

Vraa met section 'a' of circumstances outside the athletes control. Was hurt in fall camp his true freshman year, and then got hurt first game of his 2nd year, thus depriving him of the opportunity to play four years.

Thing that is most scary for me, is we have already had significant hits to our depth.

Okay, that sounds right. GoBison just said he redshirted his first year, and the couple articles I looked at didn't mention a true freshman injury.

Injuries suck... unfortunately happens to everyone.

This. We are going into one of the biggest games of the season and already moping about how we're cooked. Radunz is a once in a generation player. He will have two strong productive years when we comes back. Now's the time to find our next diamond in the rough. The emergence of James Hendricks heartens me. I just hate seeing these kids lose out on opportunities but we forge on.

This sucks. The good news is Connor played every game at LT last year so we will be solid there. I'm more concerned about LG where we are way less experienced now but we have some options. Curious if we make any changes to get the best 5 on the field like moving Kuhnert back to LG... But then our RG will be thinner. Need Messner and Ziemer to step up. Good news is Ziemer is a 5th year senior which is valuable but he just hasn't cracked the lineup at a starter.

Why only 2? He'll be a sophomore next season, should have 3 years left.

I'm bad at math.

Amen, but why two and not three? He redshirted last year, no? Am I missing something?

It totally sucks for these guys, but next man up. If you have no depth you will not be standing at the end. It’s that simple

(unrelated ... screw McFeely and his stupid opinions. He’s not really a Bison fan anyway. He's just here to piss us off).
