Long article re: concussions in NCAA Football

[nate]

Good read.  I wonder which CA college they are referring to is.  Stanford?

Well it can't be Cal, they only fake their injuries.

My first thought was SC but Haden is too smart to allow that.

 

UCLA has had the same trainers for years so that is why I thought Furd.  Harbaugh seems like a pretty old school guy.

Heyooooooo, yes!

 

Of course, we (as fans, obviously the coaches in place now had nothing to do with it) got hit by that karma train on Saturday and I imagine it'll continue to happen considering that our new system runs faster than Oregon's.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Difficult to say it's faster after one game. Perhaps and I only watched the second half so I'm not exactly sure, seemed to be about the same pace, which almost the entire conference is trying to run at now. Even Sark has changed to this style. Of course his teams will always be young, and the score won't actually reflect the results on the field. I hate Washington so very much.

Oh and I think Cal is much better off with Sonny than Tedford.

NOBODY likes Washington. Even Dawg fans probably feel a little bit dirty rooting for their team.

Agreed.

 

I don't understand how Tedford managed to flame out so spectacularly.

 

I love everything I've seen from Sonny off the field and the coaching staff is very likable.

Judging by the way that the 9ers handled the Aldon Smith situation I am pretty sure the team mentioned in the article was Stanford.

[RallyMo]

Yep. Harbaugh is a DB of the highest order.
