Walter Nolan injury update?

Can we please stop booing injuries in the stadium? Makes the whole fanbase look terrible, especially in cases where the injury turns out to be pretty serious. Bad look for the program with recruits who may be considering other schools.
They aren't booing injuries. They're assuming players are faking injuries. The boy who cried wolf comes to mind. Can't blame the fans on this one. Once it was clear he was really hurt, they responded respectfully.

Do not wish him anything bad but glad his visit to Neyland was a loser for him. He probably got a nice big NIL deal to go to A&M so can't blame him for that.

He went to a&m because of a few dollars more, nothing to do with Pruitt. From family friend not some goober on the street.
Of course they are going to say that. They don’t want to tarnish his reputation. I actually read the Pruitt angle in an article recently that was previewing the TN/A&M game.

'a few dollars more'? I would suggest he took a fistful of dollars but of course that would make him look as though he were good, bad and ugly :cool:

Our son was there & said the same thing; Nolan fell, tried to get up & acted out-of-sorts, dizzy, etc. Could be anything from getting his bell rung something more serious.

:cool:

You're making the point of the fella with whom you are disagreeing. His point is, stop assuming.

When a player goes down to the turf, it is easy enough to wait and see. If he is really injured, show the lad appreciation for having played hard to that point. If he pops up after a minute and walks or jogs to the sideline, THEN assume he was faking and boo if you wish. I mean, even then maybe he had a cramp or the wind knocked out of him, but sure, go ahead and boo if that's your thing.

Just don't boo before you have some indication. Kids really do get hurt in this game. Assuming they're all faking before even checking them out is knee-jerk impatient, cynical, and very often wrong.

If we care so much about in state kids, maybe all the NIL collective money should be spent on in state kids. (blue font)
