Torn ACL Celebrating

[ThunderStorm21]

My goodness.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Well we were due for another torn ACL weren't we?

Geez. Can't write this stuff up.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Have seen it happen before, but jeez...this is getting ridiculous.

 

[Irish_Elite]

Yup, no doubt about it. As soon as he rolled and grabbed his knee, it was clear he was done for the season. The cameras picking him up screaming in pain only confirmed as much.

Wow. Just wow.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

That's it. No more celebrating of any kind.

kid is stupid. how many times do players have to get hurt on celebrations to learn?

that was a first for me

Maybe if Kelly does not out think himself and call those timeouts on defense, this would never of happened. Why take TO's and gamble that you will stop them when you have a redshirt freshman QB and a FG kicker who can't hit an extra point and will have to drive 70 yards in a minute. Makes no sense when you call conservative plays all half.

 

[sharkfan83]

It's fuc*ing sickening to see this! I've read more realistic things in science fiction

 

[Johnnie82]

Shades of Sheldon Day, he hurt himself against Purdue a couple of seasons ago.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

No more "Culture Beats Scheme". Its all about "Next Man In" this year.

 

[NDlb46]

I wonder if it was the same knee he popped last year. What a waste. I think the calls and howling about Paul Longo will increase after this. Not saying that I would agree with it, but this is two years of a LOT of injuries we are seeing...I'm buying into the bad-luck/coincidence/this-is-football-so-what-do-you-expect arguments less and less each week.

yeah you are a genius... kelly should have expected a fumble and a kid doing something stupid to get his knee torn up.

 

[ndyogi84]

Fricking crazy celebrating

Has been that way for awhile......uuuggghhhh....

No, but as I explained above, he called a conservative half. He should not take gambles like this with a Freshman QB and a kicker who can't hit a PAT. Can't you read bonehead?

 

[IrishHerb]

Miss the old days when players didn't celebrate like today. Those kind of injuries were avoided.

 

[ftnfan62]

Who is next man in? He was dominating....

 

[NewHampshireIrish]

So Joe Schmidt has been involved in his own hand injury, knocking Jarron Jones out for the season, and knocking Tranquill out for the season(I'd assume). Fantastic luck this year.

you have made 5 posts idiot and just wrote an ignorant comment! who the hell is going to listen to your junk? kelly did the right thing, he can't predict things to happen, but you must have a crystal ball in your donkey basement. get off the board chump!

 

[tkirish]

Seriously, every coach in America should show that tape and ban that type of celebrating. Just plain stupid. I don't know if he's out for good or not. Either way that stuff needs to stop. Make a play get back to the huddle. It's that simple. It's your job for crying out loud. Celebrate if you win the game. Until then just play the dam game without all the extracurricular BS.

And you have 2374 idiotic posts.

Just keep your fingers crossed that Fuller stays healthy. He's a stud along the lines of Floyd and Tate. Lose him it's trouble.

 

[HDK]

Procise injured too?

 

[StCecelia40]

Paz, are you really blaming Kelly for Tranquil injury?
New Hampshire, are you really blaming Schmidt for Tranquil injury?
And For JJ's injury when McGlinchey pushed JS into JJ during practice?
Now I remember why I stopped posting on this board.
Insanity

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

The irony of this particular injury is that its the only injury of the day and we were all worried about the possibility of guys getting hurt due to cut blocks.

 

[ND1989]

Is it a coincidence we started getting all these injuries since field turf? Would tranquil's foot have slipped on the old grass before his ACL tore?

Not "blaming" him at all. It's just unbelievable the amount of injuries and bad luck this team has had to overcome. It's truly insane. Stuff happens. It's football. There's nobody to "blame". Great win today.

 

[mbd11]

Too bad, and it's a totally preventable injury. Whatever happened to high-fives?

I'm surprised more players aren't injured this way. When you have a 200+lb guy jumping up and chest-bumping another 200+lb guy midair, it's going to be hard to land smoothly.

While I agree with that, you can't stop the players from being all jacked up after making big plays. I remember a game last year (not a Notre Dame game) where a guy got swarmed under by his teammates after making an interception and they were all piling on him. He could have been hurt as well in that situation. It's just an emotional reaction because it was at a critical time of the game.

Also, I wonder if there was possibly something going on with his knee prior to that, and all it took was one little slip or hit to make it tear the remainder of the way.

Vanderdoes's injury happened in a similar celebratory action.

this post is beyond stupid and reeks of uneducated hindsight.

More nitwit posts.

Whenever I see a player injured from celebrating, I always remember the following:

 

[BGI User 348]

I cringe when I see FULLER jump-hop into the end zone on those skinny legs. Hope he stays healthy.

Well, back before the days of jumping and chest-bumping, players used to celebrate in slightly less hazardous ways. As far as Tranquill, he did have a major knee injury last year. Someone with a history like that should probably be avoiding hazardous types of celebrations. Here's hoping he has a full and speedy recovery.
