Cache Cows! Who needs a (General) Conference?

[Coach McGuirk]

I will say that "x-rays" are not the kind of imaging you would likely use for a knee injury. MRI would most likely follow a good exam by the orthopod.

I realize this might seem overly technical, but if these guys are going to start a rumor they should at least try to sound a little educated. Given how well he was walking I'm optimistic.

Add this to the long list of decisions that vividly illustrate Doman's utter incompetence.

Every knee injury I have had has started with X-ray to diagnose.

Xrays on the knee are overall useless. You don't usually see much. Most knee injuries from a football standpoint are ligaments or cartilage, and you don't see that on Xrays very often.

But yeah, they'll get one initially and move on to better imaging studies.

BYU sent Hill injury statement to media covering the Cougars.

[Coach McGuirk]

@DavidDJJames: ...Hill suffered a knee injury."The extent of his injury & related status is currently being evaluated. Any updates will be provided Monday"

[TexTechCoug]

ACL is a year recovery, no? Can he still qualify for a med rs or has he played too many games? This fucking sucks!

It didn't look like what happens when the ACL is torn.

I hate Doman.

[Coach McGuirk]

And now just shoot me,

@drewjay: Apparently, Riley Nelson has told several people at LDS Conference priesthood session tonight that he will definitely start on Sat. #BYU

[Flystripper]

Twitter, CB saying that Hill having season ending leg surgery. Awaiting confirmation by someone with a real name.

If true maybe this will be the mistake that makes Doman pull his head out of his ass with regard to his running qb offense. I would say maybe this is the mistake that will get him fired, but I doubt that will happen since he is bronco's golden boy.

[Omaha 680]

LOL. Our team is an effing telenovela.

[Coach McGuirk]

Wrubell not pulling punches,

@gregwrubell: On a play that didn't even need to be called, Hill plants his left leg, gets hits square on the knee, and there you go. Unbelievable.

[The_Douger]

Usually more a twisting injury or more with lateral movement on an ACL. PCL is certainly possible with that mechanism.

Can't wait until he graduates.

WIsh no ill on the guy, but I can't wait until we don't have Riley anymore.

X-rays are good for bones, they shoot them as a formality, but unless you suspect a broken bone they are useless.

When wrubell is going after you, you've hit rock bottom.

I'm done with this circus.

I'm not disagreeing with that, hell they would even tell me that before they took them, but having had more than my fair share of knee and other ligament damage, they took an X-ray. Everytime.
