He got rocked in the UM game and just stood there when he got up and looked pretty shaken. He got rocked again in the MSU game and I do think his head in a pretty fragile state right now and I hope they are rechecking him because the dude is taking some hits that seem to be visibly shaking him in the last 3 consecutive games. That **** builds up man and I'd hate to see him not getting checked.
I don't know if he has a concussion right now but he has been rocked in 3 straight games and looked pretty disoriented and that is definitely cause for concern.
I really do think that it is part of the sports hernia/groin contusion injury, that hit he took trying to hurdle our guy was right in there and he was hurting in his guts, he was walking humped over and you could see that it hurt to move. He had no business being in on the last play in the second half and probably not even in his last play in the first half.
I never have seen a real good head hit to him except the same play mentioned above where he landed on his head after going over one guy and getting hit by 2 more.
He still needs to be throughly checked, I would be surprised to see him playing next week in either case.
I think you might be right on. I didn't get to see that first big hit when he tried to hurdle the guy (Big Sky TV was having problems the whole first half), but I talked to our RS JUCO QB and he said he heard it was exactly that - a re-injury of his sports hernia from last year. Hope that's not the case.
Luckily Mario Brown, our true freshman RB also out of CA has a lot of upside.

Oh it's quite easy, actually. You just reserve 5 of the top 7 spots for CAA teams, one for SoCon leader and one for Big Sky Leader and then fill in the other 13 spots with a dart board.
Pretty good there AZ.
I wish I had seen his sheet before submitting my poll this time cuz I moved MSU to 7 cuz I had to move Delaware up a bit. Oh well it's not a big move this week and we combine to have MSU at six I guess.

As far as the time thing, we have an advantage over the easterners. They are usually in their little beddies by the time the Poly game, the Davis game and whoever is playing Hawaii (I believe it was Charleston Southern this week) are over. For me it is time to party (and still monitoring the games). Then, the next day, you give them grief for not having the time or passion to care about what happens west of the Mississippi.
Sometimes it is amazing how clear things get the more drinks you have.
