Reviving this thread b/c it's sad that it wasn't more active. Watching my Dawgs secure the win over Missouri right now, but they gave us a good fight for the first half of the game.
Anybody see the Tulane player that got injured today??? It's been confirmed that he stopped breathing at one point and CPR had to be administered. Here's the story and the clip of the hit that caused his injury (fractured spine): Devon Walker Injury: Tulane Safety Receives CPR On Field, Leaves In Ambulance Sep 08 2:07p by Bryan Kilpatrick Read More: Devon Walker (S - Tulane), Tulane Green Wave Tulane safety Devon Walker was taken off the field in an ambulance at H.A. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa, Okla. after having CPR administered to him following an apparent head and/or neck injury in the Green Wave's game against Tulsa on Saturday. The injury occurred on the final play of the first half, as Walker attempted to make a play on a Tulsa player, but inadvertently collided with his own teammate instead. Walker stopped breathing at one point after medical personnel removed his helmet and shoulder pads. However, it was confirmed that Walker was breathing and responsive by the time he was loaded into the ambulance. Walker, a senior from New Orleans, La., was playing in his 31st career game on Saturday. He has accumulated 47 tackles, four pass break-ups, and a forced fumble in three seasons at Tulane. Below is the hit that injured him. ![]() I wonder why they removed his helmet and shoulder pads??? That's a BIG no no w/ a traumatic injury. |

Yeah, the hit doesn't look THAT bad but their helmets hit pretty square on. I can only imagine the force involved.
Him not breathing would be the only good reason to remove his gear...but the article said he stopped breathing AFTER the gear was removed. If that's the case, they could be looking at malpractice suits. I tell ya, a lot of young men have made a good living abusing their body for football, but every once in a while you get someone like this kid who completely ends a promising career w/ such a horrific injury, it kinda resonates just how easily it could all be taken away. |

college football is great if you have a division one team and a national television contract (Notre Dame) but being an alumni of a state college you either go to the game or read about the blip on the local newspaper...this part of the country isn't a rah-rah type of football fan. Yes, the professional team does get the press and when one of the local college entries breaks the top 25 it makes some clamor, but not as much as some of the teams that you see. I was watching a special about college tailgating parties, and I was thinking, 'damn, going to school there must have been fun!'
