Dan Mullen on Nickoe Whitley on Head to Head WOW!!

Nickoe tore his ACL in the 3rd game this season, and was offered the option to play the rest of the season on it or have surgery to get ready for the NFL combine.

Doctors said it wouldn't get any worse if he could handle the pain.

WOW!! This guy is True Maroon

I feel like shit for talking bad about this guy throughout the year. This guy just choose MSU football and playing with a TORN ACL over getting ready for the NFL combine.

Legend - wait for it - dary

damn.. no wonder why he lumbered all the time** Kudos goes out to him for pushing through it and saving our arse numerous games this year.

Yea right and we beat Arkansas at Arkansas for the first time since Jesus was born

That's absolutely insane. I'm wondering if it was a partial tear or what the deal is; I was under the impression that you can't do any kind of real planting and cutting with a torn ACL.

But no matter what the exact injury was, it's ridiculous that he went out there every single week and played through it simply because he wanted to keep playing for this program.

Absolutely a State legend.

That would mean he tore it in the Auburn game... where he had a INT



Damn proud of him

I laughed.

He had a cadaver Cartlidge put in. Not that good for an elite athlete but at the time that's all they could do. It did not completely tear but a lot of scar tissue.

Wow!

A lot of our so-called fans look mad stupid for criticizing this guy.

Had to be a partial tear. There's no way he could've played with a full tear. But it's still ridiculous. Talk about going out a legend.

Heard Collins say on radio today that nickoe never got to practice with team; just rehabbing all week. Holy cow. That dude is true maroon. He needs to do next years True Maroon for the USM game.

Absolutely! Hope Strickland thinks like that!

Tough as hell but I question our coaches once again because you know he's not going to be able to always play at a high level which hurts the team when he can't make the play because he's injured

I feel bad now for calling him out mid season, but what does that say about our personnel? I realize Jay Hughes was out, but a crippled Nikoe was better than anything else we got? What does that say about Cox? HMMMMM?

All that says is that we had very questionable depth at corner early in the year.

the announcers said he would graduate with a Masters Degree .... well done Nikoe
