Word from Robbie on 247 last night is Bear will play, Malcolm may play (apparently he's not even wearing a cast), and that we won't know about Dak until gametime. My guess is we hold Dak out to be safe..although I would really like him to play so we can get some timing issues taken care of before the Corndogs. If you have any additional info feel free to correct me.
How does he get hurt in practice when no one is allowed to hit him? Hope he isn't becoming a constant injury risk.
I heard the entire offensive line contacted mono from a stripper at the pony Saturday night. This is from the stripper's roommate's best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother that is a nightshift cook at the Waffle House in West Point. He said he overheard a cell phone conversation from a customer that ordered a double cheeseburger and onion rings that night around 3:00AM.
I am not worried if DAk plays this weekend or not and I am not worried about timming issues. His timming did not look bad saturday and he will still practice so that is not issue with me. This game will give the Back Up QB some really good reps.
This is my fear as well. If he is really injured, I hope Mullen discloses whether or not it was during the game or in practice. If it was during the game I'm worried because he barely did any moving around. If it was in practice then I'm at a loss...Quote:

So, your source is sevendust?Quote:

If you watch the end of the game, it looks like Dak has a limp when he is heading to the locker room. It was either a limp or a gangster walk, one of the two
If he did get hurt in the game I hope the next time he plays there are no restrictions on his running. He took one sack where he sat on the ball long enough for it to hatch. Wondering if that is the play he got hurt on...if he is indeed hurt.
Yep, me too. I guess we will know Saturday.Quote:

You hear time and time again people say they are more likely to get injured while being cautious, than they would be just playing their normal game. Quit holding shit back and let's get out there and let it rip. These guys are young and in great shape....they should be able to get out there and let it all hang out for 12 games a year.Quote:

He also took a monster hit on a TD pass to Bear in the 3rd quarter (I think), the RT simply let his man go and get a free shot on Dak.Quote:

Not sure if yall are serious? The dude may or may not be hurt, but all you guys can say is you are disappointed in him and he is "injury prone?" Get a grip
Hey may have taken some hits because of our line but nothing that I would have thought would cause an ankle injury. If you want to see some shots, watch DWill in last year's Arkansas and Mississippi games. That guy can take a hit and keep truckin.Quote:

I'm sort of hoping that me venting will lead to it not being true, and I will have pulled the ole "College World Series" reverse jinx.*
so Robbie now has the training room orders on how they'll treat Malcom's hand before the training room does?
that's impressive. Kudos to him.
Do you have any more info on the cheeseburger? Was it medium well/well done and were the onion rings crispy?Quote:

How exactly are we "boned" if we can probably win easily without him? Theres 16 days until we play an SEC team....Quote:

Now, a phantom injury that no one knows how or when it happened.
Mullen did make an interesting comment in his press conference the other day when he said, "sometimes, sliding is more dangerous than taking a hit."
I didn't think about it much at the time, but, in light of this news, I'm curious if Dak rolled his ankle while sliding.
We all love Dak, but your greatest ability is your availibility.
Damian will look like a different person if we actually hand him the keys to the Ferrari this year vs the ultra-conservative stuff we put him in last year and always do in mop-up duty.
I'm not saying that's what is going to happen at all nor that Dak is hurt(last I heard he was planning to play on Saturday) -- just that IMO Damian is alot more "ready" than people are giving him credit for.
If it's serious enough to where he can't play at all it may be serious enough to bother him throughout the year. We aren't beating any good team without a healthy Dak.
I wondered the same thing. He slid awkwardly....probably because he never slides and was told to slide.Quote:

If Mullen comes out and says he's 100% but we just don't want to risk it I will feel ok about it.
But yeah if he says he's hurt and he can't play this game, I will think we are pretty screwed.

I'm more concerned about MoJo and Bear possibly being banged up.
If the Bear injury is serious that is about the most MSU injury of all time.

Horse hockey. If he's 100% you don't hold out your starting star QB on what might happen. What kind of message does that send the rest of the team? You're expendable but he isn't? Like to think Dak would call bs on that move.Quote:
