Injuries: Haneline suffered a neck injury Saturday and was taken to the hospital. Jamien Johnson has been slowed by a bad knee. Kenneth Brantly II suffered a torn ACL in teh 8/13 scrimmage. He is hoping to avoid surgery and play this season with a brace.

Jelani Jordan missed the scrimmage and som practice time last week as he was attending a funeral.

Nick Lawrence: "... is currently not on aid," Brandon said. "Nick is a member of this football team and is going to be going to school here in teh fall and the evaluation of his progress is ongoing."

That's a bunch of bad news in a small amount of space, Warthog.

Sorry.

On the other hand, for all you nay sayers, it did mention that the Sebo Center would break ground in September!

We saw Brantley get hit and get his knee iced up, he was walking alright though with the ice on the knee still. Unfortunately, you can walk on torn ACL, just can't move side to side. I really hope he doesn't play with the brace and hurt it even worse...

I could be wrong but I don't think you can make a torn ACL any worse?

Terrible news, just terrible news. I'm far from being a doctor, but an ACL injury is not good news at all. I don't like the idea of trying to play with a brace as surgery seems the eventual option, but that's his call. Anyone know how Haneline and Johnson are doing? I hope Johnson's knee is just a little banged up and nothing more, that would be very bad news as well.

On a brighter note, it's great news about the SEBO. September is better than never.

Yeah, but Falconboy I'm sure has some "inside" information that says that this information was planted by aliens to thwart the schemes of rich potential donors to the University...

Not good at all!

But injuries are part of the game, as we all know. Hopefully, Haneline and Johnson are better...as well as Brantley. This was his year to step up!

GO FALCONS!!

Yep injurues are a part of the game. Wisconsin has their share too from what I have read, probably more.

Well, in theory you can. You are putting more stress on other parts of your knee and can very well tear your PCL or for that matter you could shred the ACL even more. I would not want to just brace it up and play, but that is just my opinion.

I agree with rf....I don't think I'd take a chance on that. Too serious of an injury.

Having experienced a torn ACL, I cannot imagine trying to play football on it. ACL injuries can create a false sense of security as time passes. It can feel perfectly healthy during normal walking, but as soon as side-to-side or twisting motions come into play, the knee can give out in a heartbeat. I had that happen, and I honestly think it was more painful than the original injury. I can't imagine trying to play on it, even in a brace.

Whatever decision he makes, I hope it's the right one for the long-term.

I think Brantley blew out a knee a couple of years ago. Don't know if it's the same knee.

Johnson hurt his knee in the GMAC bowl against Memphis. Could be a sign that he's not fully healed or a sign that he's working through the recovery.

It would nice if the Sentinel employed someone who occasionally asked a follow up question....

Any chance for a medical red-shirt for Brantley? I don't know much about the process, but I do know of its existance. Someone help me out here.
