Clearly LSU/Bama game isn't as big to them as it is to us...

WITCH DOCTOR•63 months

He might end up with 2 high ankle sprains...

Nothing a few shots of cortisone before the game and during halftime cant cure

Deer antler spray...works wonders...

As much as I detest Saban and Bama, you gotta respect this kid’s grit; but still F Bama.

bullshite injury; saban momentum ploy.

He was walking better than Justin Jefferson did when he hurt his ankle at Vanderbilt. Tua will not be out long if at all.

alumni95•63 months

Has the UT player been prosecuted yet? Or has his family received death threats? This is Bama we are talking about here.

Ignignot•63 months

Lol my thoughts as well

voodooidotwo•63 months

Thank goodness they play high school teams the next couple of weeks or the NCAA would have to cancel the season

Water Mocassin•63 months

I didn’t realize Tua was a doctor.

Vernonbrew22•63 months

Not like I was wishing for his ankle to break, but we need to just go to Tuscalucy and kick whoever’s arse for the past decade. And frick the gumps

luciouslou•63 months

They know when they play lsu. That's all their focused on. That "just another game" bs is exactly that...bs

He’d better be well in time. Daddy is popping that belt in his hands.

Seldom have I seen or heard of someone having surgery on an ankle sprain

weeble•63 months

It’s called a tightrope procedure. They basically put bands around the tendons to help strengthen his ankle. Rehab time is usually 4-6 weeks.

Drizzt•63 months

It’s not just a band around something. They drill through the bone and place an anchor. This is real surgery. Don’t see how you could safely be back running in 2 weeks...but Saban doesn’t care about his players long term health.

Gump Antler Spray does the trick. He'll be better than ever. will end up looking like derrick henry though.

Buckeye Jeaux•63 months

The surgery is less effective than 3 months of rest, then rehab (but better than duct tape)

Vernonbrew22•63 months

Zero in on Bar Eagles first. There will be plenty of time after going 8-0 to talk about the gumps. Would be sweet to take both colleges from Bama out in the next few weeks. Auburn first
