It's not whaler. He rails against everybody equally.

im having a hell of a time following this guy’s logic.

i’m going to totally make my next avatar generic hurley. that will be fun

 

[Hurleyman216]

you scrambled and came up with more than I thought you would

I’ve never noticed any special bond between @Walker11 and @Fishy but it may exist..

i think we can all be confident that @Fishy wont be coming to my defense. unless im accused of kidnapping kirk cousins

Ok fair enough. Maybe it's Walker11 then. I'm fine with you being a dick to everyone equally, just know that you'll get it back from me. It's a 2 way street here so you might need to put on your big boy pants.

it’s kinda weird that youve been registered for 6 years but 25% of your posts are in the last few months railing against me.

if i banged your sister - 1,000 apologies

Yeah, definitely not me. To me, fishy is the In-N-Out of Boneyard posters. Good, not God.

 

[NJHusky]

Not a Dr, but I would be concerned about putting a kid with a concussion and eye injury on a plane. wasn't there a baseball player a few years ago that had lingering issues and they thought it was from him flying a day or 2 after the concussion?

Why risk it?

 

[Edward Sargent]

What the hell is wrong with people?

Damn we should have built a wall to keep Phans out!!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Exactly, good example.
From personal experience I played with a sprained ankle but then strained by back reaching for a ball I would normally have gotten to with my feet back in those days.

Not sure I get your point Chief. Without medical expertise you are really downplaying concussions while wanting to sit Al because he bumped his surgically repaired shoulder? Why

I just went on twitter and reported every single tweet that had a bad language. She should be banned soon!

 

[AdamaNation]

Yeah and if we don’t rush him back probably no need to do so with Jalen either I presume...

Think Jalen wants one last time on the court.

 

[AdamaNation]

She looks like she needs to stop hitting the pipe, wouldn't even take that nonsense seriously, some ppl are just life long losers.

I’d hit it.

 

[Kathy]

I’m not sure. I absolutely would not rush him back but are people against him giving it a go next week against, say, Houston if he feels okay?

Once concussion protocol instituted doesn't matter how he 'feels' protocol must be followed. In the hands of the medical people now.

 

[Kathy]

I feel like somehow the UConn basketball team went to Hawaii and brought back a cursed idol. I’ve seen this episode before.

We need some sort of cleansing ritual. Hang Gris-gris bags everywhere around Gampel.

They say taking lava rock off island is bad luck.

 

[UconnFanDC]

He gets a purple heart for his 25 game season, next year let's hope he gets that to 35+ games.

Thanks for terrific play & effort, please get healthy.....see you in the fall with the new pups!

Well, hopefully more then 35. That would be an indication Uconn made the post season

 

[JimHurley]

Yes I know, I've had concussions. Recovery is typically 5-8 days. What I'm saying is if he is cleared and feels 100% then play him. No reason not to.

 

[Hi-Low]

Well, hopefully more then 35. That would be an indication Uconn made the post season

Game 35 is round 1 of NCAA (assuming 1st round bye of AAC) and the "+" is hopefully beyond.

 

[uconndoit]

I’d hit it.

Post/handle

I cannot believe that I have to come to your defense, yet again.

this is currently my favorite feud on the boneyard. until we get cubbybear and serrano going at it again, at least.

 

[Scrutineer]

LOL - you skipped over the first sentence where I said I don’t think it has anything to do with this specific injury situation. Then you bolded my second sentence as if I hadn’t supplied a context that in the first sentence that it did not apply in this specific situation. The second sentence was a general observation, which I believe to be true.
In general when you play hurt you may favor one leg over the other or one side over the other or change your game to compensate for the injury which can cause an injury since it’s not your natural way of doing something.

Dizzy Dean's case proves Chief's point that such secondary injuries can happen.
But, who can say that Gilbert possibly favoring his shoulder lead to this latest injury?

Correct, and I said I didn’t think it was related. However, it’s also true, if AG was shutdown for the season as I advocated, this definitely wouldn’t have happened.

Putting aside intra body secondary injuries, due to favoring or compensating for a deficiency due to injury, there is also another factor at play. When a team plays in a bad flow, the wrong guys are in the wrong place doing the wrong thing. That’s how you get a 5-9 guy trying to rebound the ball from a guy 6-9 230 pds. If a front line is doing its job and you have good floor balance - mismatches like this are less likely to happen. Being hit in the face by another sub 6 foot guard is very different than a Big man child doing it.

 

[Chief00]

I take concussions very seriously even though I played back in the day when the coach would say to me thank God you only got hit in the head, for a moment I thought it was your knee - LOL. Thankfully, those days are gone.
Having said that, the UConn MBB medical staff a couple of years ago were the laughing stock of the nation with a “concussion rate” multiple times the national average. True, apparently a change was finally made to improve the identification/protocol, but it still lessens my confidence that we get it right.

 

[JB75]

While I kno we shud be shutting AG down for the season after this latest injury, part of me wants to believe we have a 20% chance of getting Jalen and Ag back for Thursday’s tourney. Just to give me a sliver of hope. At least the medical staff said he’s only out “indefinitely”. Must mean they re waiting to see how he is until mid week. So there is hope he plays. Hate to see Ag end season like this. Might not be good for him physically to get back out there but it wud help mentally so he doesn’t have this injury albatross hanging over his head all summer ... get better Ag. I can’t watch Tarin Smith and vital man the point anymore. It hurts my eyes

Good God stop it. He was going after a rebound outside the paint that had already hit the floor, and he was much closer to it than the dude that hit him.

You don't have to admit you're wrong -- in fact we all know YOU won't -- but at least stop arguing that black is white when everyone can see you're full of it.

 

[UofCT]

Is there an update?

 

[JimHurley]

Hurley is unsure of his availability for the tournament. That is better than ruling him out...
