[Fun coupon VOL]

Ambulance still being there waiting on parents is not a good sign imo.

When he made the tackle it was a pretty hard hit to his own chest

Tee Higgins was the one whom he tackled.

Ambulance is still at the field. Waiting on his parents.

Not sure if that’s good (revives) or really really bad (cannot get him revived). Seems they would want to get him to hospital ASAP.

 

[Big Sun]

It must be bad, bad.

Players reaction made it appear right away that he was unconscious after he collapsed. Not good.

You can’t move forward with this game tonight unless they find out he is alive and conscious. The game requires violence and if you can’t go out there 100% focused you can get someone else injured.

With any serious injury (and I don't mean a serious knee injury but life threatening ones and paralysis), it's hard to ask people to just keep playing. No one's mind from either team would be anywhere close to the game and it shouldn't be. These are young men, very often with families, but even for those who don't have personal families they're a part of a brotherhood.

Either he's stable, or there's nothing they can do at this point.

Praying for him. Not sure how they play this game.

That makes sense. The right hit to the wrong area can stop the heart. Let's just hope that they can save him. CPR being done for that long at least means that his brain shouldn't be starved of oxygen so brain death shouldn't be a concern. That gives him a fighting chance.

[Enki_Amenra]

You only do CPR if someone isn't breathing so yeah, beyond bad. Was he hit in the chest at all? Regardless, I really hope everything turns out ok and that it's just a major scare.

Looks like he landed on the helmet harder than the hit he took.

Yep. There's a thing called sudden impact syndrome. It's a huge worry in baseball for a pitcher getting hit by a liner back up the middle.
As bad as this sounds, a line drive to the head is almost better (if that's possible) then one to the chest

praying for him and his family.

Nothing was off about the hit, didnt hit his head or anything. That makes me think it was an underlying condition in his chest that the hit effected, maybe something like a blood clot he didn’t know about or something that ruptured

They’re saying cardiac arrest

ABC needs to put other programming on. The studio guys are struggling and aren’t well versed in this situation.

Exactly, how could they be. Save them the torture

Google translate translates Vols to Volúmenes

Don’t translate proper names…

Es genial ser un Voluntario de Tennessee!

It’s great to be a Tennessee Volunteer!

The look in McDermott’s eyes was killing me.
