MVB possibly out this week.

[SPDawgs]

Word from inside is that MVB was mad Saturday punched a bench and hurt his hand. Heard chris was taking snaps today while MVB's hand was wrapped up.

[Pancho]

possible

[R2Dawg]

What was he mad at? Himself for his play? He'll learn from this but dang, not smart. We are so snake bit.

[SPDawgs]

I'm sure he saw our defense play and hit it. It made me want to punch things too lol

Doesn't matter at this point. But this is why fans need to stop anointing guys as the savior 4 year starter and just let it play out. IF this is true, it's very selfish and very immature of your starting QB to take himself out of action.

[StarkVegasSteve]

So, if true, we are down to Parson and Jake Weir.......UMASS is going to beat us.

A true freshman gets mad and punching something doesn't equal selfish. He cares enough to be pissed off anyway. If we were taking about an upper class man or a pro, maybe so, but not a true freshman. I can see why as an OM troll though why you'd like to run MVB down.

Parson can win that game. Not saying much, but we will win

Agreed - we have plenty of problems right now. MVB is not one of them. He has shown me plenty.

But he's the QB. His arm and his hand are his most valuable assets. Whether he's a freshman or a senior doesn't matter. He's a QB and for him, he's the starting QB. He has to be smarter.

a QB punching a bench or a wall is selfish, I don't care how old or mad he is. That is STUPID. and STFU with the old miss crap. I'm an MSU fan, im just pissed that we have so many idiots in our fanbase like you and others

you are arguing with a wall with some of our dumb fans that have an excuse for everything. I'm sure Goat will be here soon to blame it all on Selmon and his "buddy" Lebbro

The way we block and tackle I'm not sure we could win even if MVB was playing.

If Rocky is a troll, he’s the worst of all time. We’re 1-7. Calling the QB immature for punching something would be light work.

[StarkVegasSteve]

That may be true as well. However, nothing definitive and we won't get anything until game time since we do not have to do an injury report this week.

His troll is primarily basketball and baseball

It's stupid but I'm not sure selfish is accurate. Didn't Jake Mangum mess up his hand punching the dugout wall? I don't think selfish could be used to describe him as a player or teammate.

ETA: Well maybe he broke it sliding into third? Was that just a fever dream on my part that he broke it punching a wall? Or was that an actual rumor from the time?

Wasn't a rumor. Jake slid in to the 3rd Sunday of SBW 17 against UK, ball was overthrown and he scored. He got too excited, came in the dugout, punched a wall, and broke something in his hand. Cannizarro and Rooker almost strangled him in the dugout. It was stupid when he did and it was stupid if Van Buren did it as well. However, I do agree on it not being selfish. I don't think the kid went to the bench and was like "F this. We suck and I'm going to break my hand on this bench". Was it immature? Yes. Do I want a guy who is supposed to be the face of my program going forward doing something stupid that could take him out of the next game? Absolutely not. But do I think he did it intentionally and with malice? No.

[Matt3467]

If true it's entirely possible we come away from UMASS anointing Parson as the next best thing. These things have a way of happening here more than most.

Ah, I guess the state media was just protecting him. Just the quick google showed a few articles referencing him breaking his hand sliding into third so I was worried that was what actually happened. Glad my mind isn't completely gone.

That's about 17ing right !!!!!!!!

[BigDawg81]

Is this from the same source that?s said Hutzler is getting demoted or fired today?

Lol

[Cooterpoot]

Not worried about this at all

[Todd4State]

I can't really criticize the guy. It sounds like something I would do. At least he didn't hurt himself hitting a teammate.

Hopefully he'll learn a lesson and trash something like a chair at his dorm room next time.

This is a frustration competitive moment injury. At least he cares about the team winning. Derrick Taite would lose a game like that Saturday and then go light up a joint.

Well based on your post, it does matter how or why he hurt it. You assumed he was being selfish so you have asssumed how or why he hurt it.

He is a true freshman so yes he is immature. Still like what I've seen from him.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

If we were taking about an upper class man or a pro,

If you get paid (NIL) you are a pro as far as I'm concerned.

[StarkVegasSteve]

True or not, we probably won't know until the starters are announced on Saturday. Since we don't have to do an availability report this week due to nonconference game, we won't know anyone's availability until the starters are announced.
