Just read this...makes me sick to my stomach. He had so much promise...this is incredibly sad."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. -
How many documented concussions has he had? I remember being scared of him as a BYU fan in years past, but have no idea what type of season he has been having this year. Sad news for any young man. Hopefully, he won't have any lasting post-concussion effects.Comment

Had he suffered multiple concussions? Was this one particularly bad?
I give credit to the U for doing the right thing and putting the kid's safety first. I wonder how far some coaches would have pushed the injury envelope for the sake of getting some points on the board.
Hopefully the U honors his athletic scholarship until he graduates. I am sure they will.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I think he had a pretty severe one either in the preseason or in the opener vs. Pitt.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View Post"They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.

Title fixed.

Wow. That sucks for Shak. Also, Utes better be praying you land Langi now."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

I hope they caught him before any permanent damage was done. I am glad they are following concussions now. But it is sad for him. He seemed like a good kid.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

Honestly, I thought of him right away. Maybe this makes Langi's decision to go to Utah much easier or at least logical? Maybe it will have no bearing but I thought of him.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

I would also think that Lucky Radley who was considering a move to safety might be staying put at RB.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.

So who is the man next year now? Vakapuna?Originally posted by DrumNFeather View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

It's too bad that he won't be able to play, but it's the right decision. Shak's a good kid and a smart kid too, so I'm sure he didn't try to convince anyone to let him keep playing."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

IMO there's no way. He's a 3rd down/blocking back IMO. I'll let Utes answer that for sure though but he just seems to me to be that thick-necked bruiser and not the speedster/slasher they need.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

Vakapuna will be the guy who pounds the inside. No idea about who the speed guy will be. The Utes have a few guys who fit that mold, but they're awfully young and haven't seen the field this season at all.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Wow, that is terrible. He would have been the feature guy next year. Hopefully he heals up and suffers no long terms effects. Damn.Comment
