About those LSU 'heat' cramps free timeouts

[clapclapclap 9000]

Heat Index tonight was actually hotter in Baton Rouge than Austin, because of the higher dew points & humidity.

https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KATT.html

Did any of their offensive players go down with 'heat' cramps?

[futureman 22562]

I think a deep dive into this topic will serve us all well.  do you have any more data? 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Settled Science

Edited September 8, 2019 by clapclapclap
But yeah, they took about 2 dozen deep dives

[Zavala 1384]

It works, got to give it to em. Until they change the rules is a great way to stop momentum, get a free time out.

[hookem48 4703]

we should have done the same in the 4th and saved our timeouts

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Why we didn’t do it, I have no idea. It’s smart

Cramps/injuries on Texas first downs?

Texas players stopping the game for injuries during LSU drives?

How many players stopped the game for cramps or injuries then came back and played?

Ah fuck it

I think when that happens, they got to make a rule that coaches cannot treat it as a timeout. That was some grade a fucking horseshit

I thought it was all legs and feet, but you could be right.

[TommyGufano 6021]

Player shouldn't be allowed to re-enter game until conclusion of the drive they go down. It'll still happen, but at least it introduces some downside.

so are you able to substitute out as many players as you want or just the guy who cramps?

[futureman 22562]

if you can have one guy cramp and sub out your whole d-line then we really need to start doing this. 

[Junior Miller 1502]

Easy fix. New rule: if play has to be stopped because you were on the ground asking for medical attention you cannot play again in the same drive. 

That shit will stop really fast.

It is less about the substitution and more about how the defense could gather their shit with the coaches during the supposed injury. It's a free timeout and it's bullshit.

I look forward to the ESPN sports science on this topic

And the rest of the team can get water i guess but not have a coaching conference. It was bush league bullshit. Ie, they sposed to be sec

[Firemans4Horn 18190]

Orlando might want to take notes. We were on roller skates most of the night when they went uptempo. Some cramps would have slowed it down. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 12557]

If they're "cramping", they should have to sit the rest of the quarter. Such bullshit 

[sidis 9832]

It really was incredibly conspicuous tonight.  Every single fucking first down we got felt like it came with an lsu player down for cramps that lasted until second down. 

Fucking lame shit. 

[TKthunder2 5012]

Was at the game.  On the third cramp timeout, two players were on the ground, when one player saw the other “cramping” his cramps magically stopped and he popped right up.  The training staff that was running toward him immediately changed direction and ran to the other one and didn’t miss a beat.  It’s clear it was planned and bush league but a great team should be able to overcome bush league bullshit.  We were not a great team tonight.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8835]

Game MVPs were the LSU training staff. They didnt cramp up despite being on the field 10+ times to service all of those injured Tigers.

 

Amazing nobody on the LSU offense suffered cramps despite having 600 yards of offense

 

and nobody on Texas stopped the game due to cramps.

[BigVegasHorn26 630]

Enjoyed laying into the LSU fans about this shit all night.  Such a pussy move.   Really hope we see them again.  

[gecko 1104]

Next year when we go to Baton Rouge we’ll need to take a defense and a lot of midol for our hosts

[OU Sucks 8960]

There absolutely needs to be a rule where anyone that is "injured" and can't get off the field can't come in for the remainder of the drive.  If they are so badly hurt that it takes them 6 minutes to get off the field, then they shouldn't be able to magically sprint back in 1-2 plays later.   I mean, it's all about player safety, right?  We wouldn't want an injured/"cramping" player coming right back in and get hurt more.  Our D sucked and we didn't deserve to win the game, but there's no reason for this not to be a rule.  They can call it the "LSU is a bunch of flopping pussies" rule.

Pretty sure Texas scored a TD on every drive LSU players got cramps, so...

No, it's actually much more about the substitution.

Plus the first half of the next game. Some LSU douche across the aisle was getting all bent out of shape because the classless UT fans were boing the “injured” players. I thought he was going to punch me when I told him his team was a bunch of euro kickball flopping pussies. Fortunately my daughter was in between us.

You know what they say...
Cant spell euro kickball flopping pussies without LSU

Herman said all the stoppages for cramps affected our offense, so that would be a problem.

I had to leave the game at halftime. After the 100 degree temps at our tailgate all afternoon and the the massive press of sweaty bodies in the stands, I was almost floored by several symptoms of heat stroke - headache, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and inability to follow the game.

barely made it the two blocks back to the car, where I used  couple of cold, wet washcloths as compresses for my head, drank two bottles of Gatorade to rehydrate. Rested about 10 minutes until my head cleared up enough to drive home. The heart rate didn’t slow down until after a long cool shower, another Gatorade, and sitting awhile in the recliner. Didn’t sleep worth a damn and am wiped out today.

Can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to have exerted myself hard physically instead of just sitting around at the tailgate for five hours then walking the short distance to Memorial Stadium.

[westexhorn 2020]

It's an SEC thing.  Apparently they did it to Aggy last year, and then this year Aggy learned and did the same shit @Clemson.  Obviously didnt work cuz Aggy looked like hot garbage all game.

You are a very bad guy!  This is not championship level hydration!

[Armybrat 40942]

The pint of vodka at the tailgate did not help.

[Surly Bevo 25261]

My solution

Individual Rules

1st time down is treated as today.
2nd time down you sit for 15 minutes of game clock
3rd time is a TKO and you are out for the rest of the game

Team Rules

Each team gets 3 free team injuries per half. After that it’s a timeout. If you are out of timeouts 15 yard penalty

All the shit would stop real real fast.

You see it in tennis as well.  As soon as one player starts to get in a groove the other player has to call the trainer.  

 

I expect the Big XII brass to do something immediately.  Or in the next couple of years, after they figure out how to decide a conference champion.  Or maybe not at all.

I would add to that solution that the EMS squad be required to remove the “injured “ player ( w/ 4-6 man stretcher  team) , and the player is medically assessed on the sideline, not the field, and play resumes immediately. The “injured” player sits for the remainder of the possession. There are safe ways to move “patients”, w/o risking further injury.

I don't think we scored a TD on every drive, so no.

 

Wins come and wins go.  But in the end I have the privilege of feeling proud of my team.  I'm glad they don't resort to things like this.
