Injuries

Post by ponystudent »

Did anyone notice how many players were in yellow jerseys?

Freeman, Briggs, Glockzin, Birdwell, Kincade, Davis, Beard, and a herd of others. Speaking of Beard, has that guy done anything productive since he has been here? He is a well built decent sized guy who is cocky, but I am yet to see him produce.

And on the subject of people that were not playing, Pratt is ineligible. How many times has he had grade problems? From what I hear he is not stupid, he is just lazy. You can see that on the field sometimes, also. Pratt needs to get off his lazy [deleted] and make his grades and start wrecking shop. He has so much potential. SMU is spending 120,000 dollars plus on this guy and he sits out more than anyone on the team. What a waste of a lot of talent.

Ryan Riddle tore his ACL. Hopefully he should be ready in the fall or at least sometime in the season.

Marcus has missed a lot due to academics. Last year I believed he missed a few games due to missing class, and this past season he was suspended for several weeks, again, for academic reasons. Now he is sitting out the spring due to grades.

He needs to get his act together and figure out which direction he wants to take his life.

the reason there were a lot of injuries is due to the football coaching staff's new weight lifting program. There a great bunch of guys but they are not certified to creat or administer a lifting program.

I don't know - if Coach Giles can make these guys look like Giles when he played for Texas (or when he played in the NFL and CFL), I'll take it.
