Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[volbeast33]

When? I have never heard of an instance of a player dying on the field and then continuing the game. I am genuinely asking when did this happen?

1968 Chuck Hughes lions and bears…. He had a heart attack in the 4th quarter.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Does everyone have the feeling that this injury wasn't directly related to football? . . or do you feel like the hit caused this to happen?

No, I think it was sudden impact syndrome, don't know how to spell the fancy name for it. Literally just a freak accident.

Is Small having the same surgery he had last offseason?

I think this is a more significant repair.

-Hubbs

Pretty much. Shoulder for him. Wrist for Wright. Both out for spring.

Tee needs our prayers as well. You know he feels awful as he was the one being tackled.

This is a great point…prayers to Tee.

If you guys saw the SEC storied about the Vandy player that was hit by Chuckie Mullins of Ole Miss, who died a few years later, you see he never recovered from that grief.

It looks like he landed on his helmet harder than the hit was.

Thanks for the info. Well, that’s an equally awful situation. Stunned they would finish that game.

Was think about this as soon as it happened.

I don't think the sport had anything to do with it. If that little bit of force stopped his heart, it could have happened anywhere, and most likely anywhere else there wouldn't have been an army of first responders within 10 seconds of him.

That is one way to look at it. I don’t want to be in argument, man. Just sad. Hate the violence of it all sometimes. It’s why I never cared for boxing, UFC, all that. Just a personal choice. Again, just commenting on the very obvious and very undeniable correlation between this sport and the abbreviation of life, effect on quality of life, and injuries.

Wtf

Old timers didn’t play….. this is the story that amazes me…. Struck by lightning and thought to be dead… wakes up and finishes pitching the game.

The incredible story of the MLB pitcher who survived a lightning strike to finish a game

1968 was a much different NFL than what we have today.

Awful

 

[engineerVOL]

Yes don’t forget Tee Higgins. Every one on that field will no doubt question their involvement in it all, fair or not. Human nature.

I love reading old stories…. People from that generation and before didn’t play…. Different mindset or so it seems.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This is apparently Damar’s agent. Some promising news if true.

Ronnie Lott, chopped finger. There’s good and bad to it all. Tonight was the good change. Hat tip to both coaches for making a stand and saying No for their players.

Good deal.

We NEED more RBs! This is crazy that d Sampson could be the only scholly rb participating in spring ball.

Those saying people would look around if Lloyd or others visited are nuts.

Currently as I see it, we have a talent issue at CB. We have a depth issue at rb. We have a talent and depth issue at TE. Need to address all 3 before spring.

We'll be fine

Saw a sports physician hypothesize that it's a rare occurrence when you get blunt trauma to the chest at a very, very specific timing during the end of a heart beat cycle.
