    Pat Tilley, Billy Ryckman, Rod Foppe, Bobby Slaughter, Delwyn Daigre, Chad Mackey, Troy Edwards, Sean Cangelosi, Hunter Lee, Trent Taylor...

    I also Tommy Spinks and other guys who pre-dated my personal witness belong on this list. Who are some more?
    Daniel Porter. A relatively unknown recruit who came out of nowhere to be a pretty special player.

    TOO LATE!


    Why do these snowflakes have to lay on the field for some minor injury? Especially something to the hand or arm. Get your azz up and jog off the field! Sheeesh! Saw a game a couple of years ago when some 300 lb lineman had his thumb bent back. His thumb went all the way back and touched his wrist. Try it to see what I mean....I'll wait. Yeah, okay, that has to hurt. But, get your azz off the field! These games last long enough now with all the commercials, replays, blah, blah, blah....these wussies need 4 trainers to come out to wipe their tears. Guess what fellow, your thumb is dislocated or broken, so deal with it. But deal with it on the bench so the game can resume.

    Told ya not to get me started....
    Amen to that! They know they will be the center of attention across the country on TV, so they use it to highlight themselves, IMO.

    We've also seen a lot of the fake injuries over the years designed to slow down our offense.

    I wish opposing offenses would fake injuries to help out our defense.

    Yes, I think the all-time world record for "fake" injuries was when we played UMASS this year. Must have been 15 UMASS players that went "down with injuries" in that game.

    Maybe there should be a requirement for injuries. If you are injured, you have to sit out the rest of the series for evaluation.

    Trent Taylor is like Quinten Patton. More than just talent, they have heart! and are team leaders. We need someone to step up as a leader on offense next year.

    That's a GREAT idea. Someone on the CUSA board posted an article that was seeking ideas about how to "shorten" the length of college football games. This is the best idea I've heard yet, because there's no doubt we spend far too much time catering to prima donas laying on the field.

    Mostly they're not prima donnas but players instructed by their coaches to slow down the pace. Instead of making the players lay out a series their team should be just charged a time out if they don't. The rule now is that if an injured player does not leave the field the team is charged a time out. As has been noted injuries that are not to the head, back or legs should be required to get off the field immediately if they can't play. Those who have back or neck injuries are removed on a stretcher and miss at least one series if not the rest of the game anyway. Any injury near the players own side line should be removed quickly.

    Dykes/Franklin ran plays away from the opponents sideline in order stay on the fartherest hashmark. Not sure COYHCSH goes to that extreme, but many times these inept C-USA refs have stopped play or not called a penalty to allow illegal substitutions not in our favor. It happened several times this past year.

    That doesn't work. First of all, using your "timeout" punishment theory, UMASS would have ran out of "timeouts" very quickly. So what do you do with the rest of them? If you recall, UMASS literally had 15 players go down with injuries in our game. So, your answer is not a viable solution after the first few injuries.

    Don't overthink this. The game officials already have enough to think about without putting this on them too. I don't want the game officials' input regarding whether it's a back injury, or a leg injury, etc... Frankly, I'm not interested in their unqualified medical opinion.

    So, keep it simple: If you go down with an injury, you sit for the rest of the series..."for evaluation" purposes. It's automatic. It's like a player who loses his helmet now and has to sit out the next play....nobody even has to think about it. And it's amazing how fewer helmets are coming off these days. And I would take this injury rule one-step further: The 2nd time the same player causes a game to be stopped due to an injury, he's done for the half. That's right, he's out for the rest of the half. The 3rd time in the same game, he's out for the remainder of the game.

    Too may players are laying on the field, faking injuries, and then coming right back in the next few plays. This behavior disrupts the rhythm of the game and unnecessarily extends the length of the game.

    I don't think it would be that difficult to get the rule written. We already go too far in consideration of player safety IMO. This is actually a logical step by their rationalization.
