J. Thomas and Hightower have Minor knee surgeries

I don't bro, honestly, unless it was in game. I don't recall practice injuries. Nor do I recall limited contact, career ending injuries.
The LB Gayot injured his neck in practice during Golden's time and that ended in his career at UM. Josh Witt never made to a game because of a concussion he got in the summer of 2012. It happens. Those are are just the career ending ones that I remember. Gore tore his ACL in a spring practice way back.

If I was made head dictator I would mandate that every single American be forced to take a basic science course that teaches the scientific principle and a basic limited statistics course that teaches the concept of statistical significance, with the basics of correlation and causality.

An additional course in critical thinking skills might be mandated as well.

Because then we wouldn’t have stupid threads where unqualified charlatans make epidemiological conclusions based on nothing more than poorly-informed guesswork and superstition.

Science, gentlemen. It’s your friend.
 
Josh Witt. Marquez gayot. Frank. Ramon Buchanon
Ramon I think played healthy 2009-2010 or idk when he took the redshirt (2008 or 2009). He had bad luck in 2011 and 2012. Feel like he would have stuck with an nfl team if he did stay healthy. He had 4.4-4.5 speed and was a physical dude.
 
Burns was also hurt last year, Wilder has not even practiced in Spring, and Ford injured his wrist in the scrimmage, Lingard was injured last year before the IPF was even open?? People get too caught up in the turf debate, its not like the old turf days when you basically got rug burn if you fell on it, field turf is much different.
Wanna laugh? Go ahead & guess what kind of surface we have on greentree...

Definitely remember Gore, but maybe b/c the other guys were JAGs, I didn't recall. Good looking.

He was honestly one of the most frustrating players to watch. He had so much physical talent, but had no idea what to do with it. He was good at running a 4.4 in the wrong direction or to recover after taking a couple missteps. He was also a guarantee to be completely neutralized and stuck in no man's land on ANY play action.

Sorry but my head's already full.

It's the finest prescribed natural athletic turf that money can buy.

For eight years I have been the leading supplier of hybrid seed corn in Miami-Dade County, and the reason is clear: My seed is pure!

I have come to assume my dominant position in this farm community due to the high quality and timely delivery of my seed.

Come to Schmidt Feed & Farm Supply, conveniently located in Kendall just over the bridge, and you will leave smiling and satisfied in every way, if not utterly amazed at the performance.

Use my select seed, and your crop will show resistance to blight and drought and be less susceptible to strain stalk diseases.

If you do not believe me, I will take you to my farm and show you the potency of my seed.

Strong, turgid, fattening plants shoot up through the ground in the torrid Florida sun.

Grab the thick base of the stalk in your hand and feel that it is alive and growing larger by the minute. Sweat will shine on your face as you ride my massive tractor around the grounds of my expansive farm.

I will smile down at you as you kneel and gently run your hands through the moist patch of dense growth at my most precious, secret spot—the plot of land where I personally test each and every variety of seed corn that I sell.

Ask me for my seed, and the day you have longed for, the day you have dreamed about, will soon arrive: When the corn is large and ripe for the taking, you can place your lips around the heavy cob, savoring the texture, the smell and, finally, the taste as you bite gently and your mouth is filled with sweet juice.

You will then thank me, thank me passionately. For I will have provided you with top-quality farm supplies at a reasonable price!

We're just a block from Hill's Veterinary Clinic and the Kendall Credit Union, so enjoy the convenience of just one trip to town!

Come to Schmidt's Feed & Farm Supply and experience it for yourself.

My oldest children rush about the store to fulfill my orders while I take customers to the back storeroom one by one. There I show them my burlap sacks, heavy and bulging with premium seed renowned for its fertility.

Even if you've heard the stories, you'll still be astounded when I pour my seed out into your hands. My seed corn is guaranteed to be free of insects and rodents and is carefully tested for bacteria, fungus and spore growth.

I have marked my territory—it is all of Mimai-Dade County—and I will continue to bury my robust seed deep in the land until I am no longer physically able.

Hear me well, good people—mine is the superior seed!
 
Artificial turf is a boogeyman on this board. Maybe when it first came out it had a higher rate of injury, but the advancements in materials and implementation over the years run counter to these antiquated claims that it causes injuries.



3-year study
This.

Almost every single FBS school practices in an indoor facility on artificial turf.

In previous seasons, a majority of these procedures wouldn't have been mentioned to the media and fans and any injuries would be listed and "lower extremity" or "upper extremity".

It's not the 80's. Teams don't use Astro turf anymore.

This sounds like the dialogue to a mid 70s ****. I'm sure your seed is strong and pure brother. Simply laughing cause while they keep debating why we need to be outside & only use the ipf when necessary (even though greentree has been getting worked on hence why were inside) outside is still turf as well. Sortve makes that arguement a moot point.

But it's OUTSIDE turf. Totally different.
 
Not football related but my guy Carl Crawford had a great career in Tampa and then when he signed with Boston his career was never the same. Part of it attributed to the beating his knees took playing all those years on turf.
I think Carl took that money and decided to stop playing hard. 😂😂😂

The turf that's INSIDE is easily as high quality. It's not like it's the old marklight ****. I get the arguement if we still had grass outside but we dont. In both areas we have high quality turf. I'd prefer we still had grass but it is what it is. My nephew got hurt because of that high quality turf. @rokulika did your company do the ipf as well? If so I got a bone with you.
