Jake Campos Injured

That's for sure..Do you think if we started a pledge and got 10,000 sigs to get him back if it would work?

Maybe if each person pledged some $$$$

unbelievable how this crap just keeps happening. At least it doesn't sound like an MRI for a change.

MRI? Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

I'm hearing it's an ankle injury.

Like slap some tape on it and get back out there, or the ol' a break is better than a bad sprain?

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

Quick update: It's either a high ankle or a leg after making a few more calls. Sounds bad though. I'm not sure how long he will be out but I'll be shocked if he's out there for the opener.

I posted earlier that he broke a leg, but someone since has told me it's a broken ankle. Neither of those sources were doctors, so I'm not sure the severity or what not.

Honestly I've heard both too. Sounds to me like a lower leg injury of some sort. Terminology can be tricky with those deals.

Hell, some ankle sprains can almost be worse than a break.

That's one way to look at it I suppose.

I feel like some people don't realize how important healthy ankles are for a tackle trying to block rush ends.

Girlfriend broke her ankle in February. Didn't walk til June and hasn't been cleared to run/ pivot on it. If it's a break, I'd expect the medical redshirt to come out

If it's lower leg/ankle he probably got rolled into and broke distal fibula.
Depending on break, could be 6(ish) weeks or done for year.
Either way, this sucks.

This is so ISU FB.

Yup. Could be anywhere from two months time off in a boot, to a surgery with plates and screws and out for four months. I had the latter.

First off, sad to hear this. Secondly...I'm . already worried about the expectation levels creeping up but it seems like in the past week or so since the media hype train started up full bore people are getting sucked in. I keep hearing the "B" word getting used more frequently which is insane.

This is a rebuilding year. A 1st time P5 coach year. Another year with a terrible o-line.

So PSA: don't get sucked in. This will probably help us in a couple of seasons.

This. It truly sucks for Campos, but having him in 2018 rather than 2016 is probably a better thing.

My horse broke an ankle and we shot it...

Some day we will have nice things.....some day.
