Tua's Injury

[B1GTide]

SIAP (not going to search 16 pages). Is there a silver lining in this dark cloud? Could Tua return next season because of the inevitable draft status hit?

I doubt that he plays anywhere next year.

I really don't think so. I'd be delighted, but I do not believe that would be wise.

This release doesn't mention any fracture, so maybe he didn't have. Tide HSV can probably provide the best prognosis on this injury, either with or without a fracture.

Not sure they would mention that, at least at this time. Maybe after surgery.

I agree....to an extent. Part of me thinks Tua wouldn't want to end his college career like that. I bet he redshirts next year and comes back for a 5th season.

How can you red shirt when he's played in every game this year? He can come back for his senior season.

I’d say as close to zero chance as there is. He will need a year just for recovery and rehabilitation. Trying to salvage a career but even before that quality of life!

TIDE-HSV, if Tidefans has a "most interesting man in the world," it is you. I love you stories, and am thankful that one turned out ok.

Indeed. A former colleague's fall from a ladder did not end so well.

Redshirt next season. Come back for a 5th.

Alistarwills I apologize if I offended you as I was just trying to help explain to the writer of a previous post that errors can be made either in diagnosis and or reporting especially when all of the information used collected is second hand at best and notbtobtake it a the final word. I was not saying or stating anything definitively. Also I am guessing you are referring to an mri since you used your brother as a source and he is an mri tech but all of the early speculation and reports indicated a possible fracture which given the sheer force of the impact would not be unreasonable but not guaranteed until diagnosed fully. Keep in mind they may not have had access initially to an mri at the stadium and were using a traditional X-ray. Missed fractures and ghost fractures relics is not that uncommon for traditional X-rays also other variables can occur equipment, operation, film etc. Nothing is infallible including all medical equipment. This is why I primarily stated that everything is speculation until it comes from the source and to not rush to any judgements but just to pray for Tua and his family.

Sources confirmed on ESPN that he did also have a fracture even though the quote from the Dr didn’t include that. I hope it isn’t fractured.

I cannot tell you how bad I dislike them. I've known of more than one man who have nearly died from falls. One in particular absolutely destroyed his foot and ankle. Thankfully he didn't lose it, and walked again after a long rehab.

 

[AlistarWills]

No offense taken friend. I was just sharing what he had told me. I think we actually posted close enough together we were probably both typing at the same time.

It's dangerous climbing ladders...learn alot here don't we?

Have 5 to play 4. He’s played 3 years. So he could red shirt next year and have one more to play.

Notice Herbstreit had to add his two cents in there........no Kirk, Saban is NOT Shula, you idiot

 

[TideEngineer08]

That's not the real Kirk Herbstreit.

That is a fake account - it is not Kirk's account.

 

[cuda.1973]

That response, from some guy at a 4-letter network, deserves a 4-letter word in response.

So I won't.

(OK, it was from a fake account.............same 4 letters apply.)

No message

Lost a lot of respect for Herbstreit with that one. For those who do not use the twitter, Herbie had a picture of Prothro with his ankle and foot at an unnatural angle and the caption, "Nick Saban is Mike Shula."
Classless, obnoxious statement in keeping with the worst traditions of American journalism.
I am thinking unkind words toward Herbie.

They said it's a fake account...Herbie is calling a game on ABC right now. Doubt he's tweeting.

It’s hard to tell anymore who is real
And who is fake.........my bad for assuming that one

I’ll save my vitriol for Jesse “Dating Game” Palmer
