Did I read it too fast? I just saw facial injury, not facial fracture?

Yeah I don’t see that anywhere in the article unless I’m missing something.

I’m 99% sure the tweet from Anthony I got the link from said fracture. That tweet is gone now and the updated one doesn’t include the word. The new tweet is time stamped like 20 minutes after I started the thread.

I don’t remember if the story used the word or not.

You can change the thread title right?

Yeah, no new updates in that article. Facial injury and went to emergency is the extent we know.

Recruit over him? Pull his scholly? Hire a new training staff, after all what are they preparing these guys for if not this? St. Patty’s day soon, start scouting the campus for four-leaf clovers that we can liquify and inject into our players? Hire a voodoo priest to put a protective spell over the program? Maybe a blood sacrifice at mid court on the summer high moon at midnight in the off season? Start recruiting superheroes?

There. Did I get all the stupid out of the way? Maybe this bad luck will return to the mean? Nah, cursed.

Jeeeez man cant catch a break. Hoping he comes back next year with brand new luck.

A real good player would've moved his head away from that swinging maniac from Temple he's just not smart enough that's why he's always hurt.

snakebit.

Once his face heals need to fit AG for a "Rip" facemask for next year, hopefully technology has improved a bit.

Armed with his custom shoulder pads & facial protection he'll be ready for battle.....kid is a warrior for sure.

Sadly for AG, the future can't come soon enough.

Why are we such an unlucky team

After watching Brimah get flagrant fouls called on him for inadvertent elbows for four years, I'm wondering what changed . . .

 

[superjohn]

Never seen anything like this.

Never seen anything like this.

This was my entire sports career

Any Yankee/baseball fans remember Nick Johnson? The guy was talented and was always injured. Had one "full" season (500 ABs) and put up a .950 OPS. Only to break his hand/wrist for the 300th time the next season. For some reason that's what I'm starting to see in AG. It's no fault of Gilbert's own, it is just every time he comes into contact with someone I'm expecting him to be injured.

For more reference and this doesn't include two more wrist injuries that effectively ended his career.

Why are we such an unlucky team

Law of averages baby.
We, as fans, had a horseshoe stuck up our arses in 2011 and 2014.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Hopefully our luck turns soon.

Is he done for the season? Let's get him back for the AAC Tourney!
