Went down with an awful looking injury tonight vs Depaul. Couldn't walk on it at all. Shame to see a guy who's out here for a 6th year go down like that.

Was his hair okay?

Oh good I was worried this may end his modeling career.

DePaul looked awful again tonight. Just 6 conference wins in about 3.5 years. Have to wonder when his seat will start to get hot.

stay classy, guys.

What happened to him? That's sad. Sorry to the Creighton fans that visit here. I hope you all would feel our pain if Jake Thomas were to go down.

Gibbs is 10x the player that Thomas is. That's a big loss for Creighton.

Yeah, more smartass BS about a kid from another team getting hurt as a 6th year Senior - hilarious, right?
I apologize to any Creighton fan that actually does read this - it's embarrassing.
-
What I find funny about him is he's older than Jimmy B
Yet, Jimmy is in his 3rd NBA season AND graduated.

Actually, not really.
Would I feel bad for Thomas, though? Yep.
But I want the freshmen to get more playing time.

A 24 year old hurt his leg. It is certainly not funny. It is unfortunate.
I personally knew 14 20-somethings who gave their life fighting for their country. They were friends. We will never again hear their laughter. Nor will we benefit from their potential greatness. Their loss is tragic.
I have come across more than one village where every man, woman, and child was killed because the girls were being taught to read or where sharia was not being enforced to the Taliban's satisfaction. That is barbaric. And it is real. Sharia cops drive around Taliban-controlled areas in Toyota pick up trucks and terrorize ordinary people who are simply trying to exist. Those souls are more concerned about famine, disease, and the cold than they ever will be about the Koran. Their most fervent hope is for their children to make it through one more winter. Their agony is heartrending. I have seen hardened Spec Op warriors break down in tears at the sight of this slaughter. As a Christian you must know that their misery is our burden.
Every Monday I am at the VA for treatment for the 100 pieces of shrapnel in my lung and back. And if I ever begin to feel sorry for myself all I have to do is look around the Combat Wound Care Ward and watch the dozens of 20-something men there who are learning to walk on their new legs or to use their new arms. And I see men who possess a courage far greater than you find in a fire fight. Combat is fleeting but paraplegia is only forever if you surrender to it. And these young men will never surrender.
So a 24 year old scholarship athlete hurt his leg tonight. I trust he will receive superb medical care for his injured knee. And he likely will have some Baskin Robbins before he turns in. His injury is merely unfortunate.

Keefe,
I know you are working on alternative clean energy also. Is your real name Tony Stark and are you Iron Man?
On a serious note, is it more damaging to the body to try and remove the shrapnel than to just leave it?

Holy crap, man. This isn't a contest, it's a kid's life. This post so recent after dedicating one to how awesome you think you are because of the work you do? Life isn't about holding everything up to some measuring stick. And if you're going to be crapty and say something like "As a Christian blah blah blah" you should probably read up on pride. As a Christian you must know that it is one of the seven deadly sins. Do good deeds because they are good, not so you can go write about them on a message board.

Scrumming for a rebound with a Depaul player. The guy wrapped up Grant from behind and basically tackled him to the ground and his knee got hurt bad. He was taken to the locker room and then came out a little later on crutches to watch the rest of the game form the sidelines.
I'm not going to go out and start proclaiming Depaul has thugs and dirty but I really question the intent of their player (I don't remember exactly who it is). In real time it appeared to be incidental contact but after a few reviews I started to question it. The first part of the game was very scrappy and not paced and guys were going for balls and they got tied up. But when Grant got taken down the defender (from behind) managed to wrap his leg around Grant's and pushed him to the ground.
I, along with many other fans, thought I saw the last play of Grant's Creighton career which has been solid and somehting you can be proud of. He has been an awesome leader and personality on the team. Our assistant coach Steve Merfeld told the radio broadcast, however, that early indications indicated that it MIGHT (emphasis) be as bad as they immediately feared.
Another big concern at the moment is Doug tweaked his shoulder against SHU on Saturday and reaggravated it on a post up in the first half and was in visible pain the rest of the game. His play was inspirational, scoring 12 points in the second half despite wincing every trip down. He had hot pads and cold packs going on his shoulder every time out and every time he subbed out.
Both will have an MRI today. Worst case scenario for Grant is that he tore his ACL and is college career is over. Best case scenario is he may get back by Sunday. As far as Doug, I would think he will be fine and will just have to stay off of it for the rest of the week. The 5 day layoff is huge and much needed after the two game road streak.
I was proud of how our team rebounded from the injury, finishing the half on a 13-4 run after the injury and taken it to Depaul in the second half. Avery Dingman, who has really been struggling with his shot this season after turning into more of a defensive role player, came off the bench and was 6-8 with 16 points and 5 rebounds.
Appreciate the support and will keep you guys updated.
EDIT: It was DeJuan Marrero, efficient 6 minutes of PT knocking out one of our top guys.

I don't think any of it was smartass or BS. He's got pretty hair and he chooses to make sure it's done for every game, it's a legitmate question.

Holy crap did this board get polarized. Some people post some light hearted snarkiness about a player not on our team that in no way makes fun of his injury and some people come out with pitch forks and then the defenders of the snark come out with torches to defeat the forces of anti-snark.
Let's just leave it at this, I hope Gibb's and his great hair did not suffer any significant injury and if they did best of luck to the young man in future endeavors.

+1. Right? It's crazy when the team loses the losers that start posting.

All the best for GG and I hope his injury is not too serious. For some reason I kind of root for Creighton - maybe because I had an ex that went there or maybe because I just find them more likeable than say, Syracuse or UConn. As a silver lining, if it is a significant injury, it's better for it to happen in early January than early March. Marquette fans are all too knowledgeable on this point.
The hair comment was funny and spot on. Lighten up.
An injury to a basketball player is not as unfortunate as war, crime, poverty, or global epidemics. No one said it was. I may drop an f-bomb when I spill my coffee but I don't need a lecture on perspective. Again, lighten up.

Mocking an athlete who got injured is classless. Aspire to be better than this.

Seriously? If it makes any difference I was making fun of his hair during the game, so the mockery is not due to the injury.

Hair is fair game.
No one is mocking the injury or what happened.
Best of luck in his recovery. Always a bummer to see a senior go down.

I was rooting for Creighton until the game. Then I realized they are going to be the BEast version of Wisconsin with the flopping and crying.

But mocking an uninjured athlete is not? So if PTM made the joke(not about the injury, I feel this is important) 24 hours ago it's fine, but now not so much? Is there a statute of limitations? If I happen to see Gibbs on tv teamed with an aging Jay Bilas and I comment about Gibbs beautiful, well quaffed hair, does that make me classless?

The original post was about how the kid went down with an awful injury and couldn't walk under his own power. He's had a similar path to O'Tule in terms of tough luck injuries.
If Chris blew out a knee this season would you think it's appropriate for someone to say, "did his goggles stay on his head at least?"
Some people get it, some don't.

I don't really think that's an apt comparison, not sure though...Chris wears goggles for his, you know, missing eye. Gibbs rockin' 'do doesn't keep a flap of skin on top of his head.
Who knows though, I don't spend time on other teams' message boards, because, *GASP* they probably make fun of our players.
And you'd think after six years, even opposing fans could probably spell Chris' name correctly. Otule.

Do you understand what an analogy is? I didn't realize Chris' goggles kept his eye from popping out. Good info - you're smart.

The goggles are not for his glass eye; they protect his remaining good eye.
When I was flying F 16s we practiced nuclear strike missions. One of the safeguards pilots had was a gold lined eye patch that covered one eye. The patch would save one retina from being fried by the detonation flash so we could return to base, refuel, reload, then fly one last mission.

It wasn't a very good analogy

Actually, it was perfect. Let me help you.
Gibbs' knee/leg injury history = OTULE's knee/leg injury history
Gibbs' 6th year Senior status = OTULE's 6th year Senior status
Gibbs' hair (i.e. irrelevant to his leg injury and something on his head) = OTULE's goggles (i.e. irrelevant to any potential leg injury and something on his head)
Hope that helps everybody. Please read twice if necessary.

You do realize that Otule's goggles serve a completely necessary and relevant purpose....Gibb's extravagant and flowing locks do not. I bet you think Alanis Morissette's song Ironic actually has ironic material in it.

Yikes...what happened to this thread?
McDermott has a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. Will rest today and tomorrow and will be ready to go Sunday. No word on Grant but my impression is that they hadn't done his yet when they announced the Doug report due to swelling. My understanding, however, is that the coaches are preparing for the worst.

Dwayne. The proper incorrect spelling of Dwyane Wade is Dwayne Wade.

What's the big deal with the hair on Gibbs anyway? I think McDermott might be even prettier than Gibbs. I would post side by side headshots but by the time I hit post Keefe will probably already have them up.

Creighton, in a sense, dodged a bullet on this. Diagnosed as a dislocated knee cap, only expected to be out 4 weeks max. He's a tough kid and I wouldn't be surprised to see him come back earlier than that.

Can he pull a Belushi and get a 7th year?
-
I would let him take as long as he needs to heal, get your younger players some run, and bring him back for the tourney.

I did that in the gym at the old East Hall my freshman year. Nothing like looking down and seeing your knee cap on the side of your leg.
It hurts like hell and creates a lot of soft tissue swelling, but four weeks seems reasonable.

I don't think it looked quite like that but there was a lot of swelling, which will need to go down before he starts rehabbing.
The good news is the way our schedule was set up. If he rehabs as projected and it takes 4 weeks, he will have 9 additional days after that. We play SJU on the 28th which is a day shy of weeks. The next game isn't until 2/7 giving him extra time without missing a game if he can't come back early.

not that there is anything wrong with that ;D

Yeah, no rush at all (well unless Creighton starts falling apart for some reason). He's a vet and will be able to get back in the groove quickly.

I dislocated the same knee 4 times. A month seems about right but depending on rehab it could easily be 2 or 3 weeks. It hurts like hell and scares the crap out of you but no real damage done.
