And they had him hobbling from the field to the locker room - on TV no less - without assistance or crutches.  Just hobbling like a lame horse.  That's probably not a recommended course of action for a talus fracture.

This is the part that gets me. Let the team doc look at him. If somehow there is no doc around, let the trainer look at him. When in doubt (especially at a level of play as big-time as P5 FB), put him in a boot and on crutches until you get an MRI. There is pretty much 0% chance of a routine MRI of the ankle, the same study one would use definitively to diagnose and characterize sprains in high-level athletes, missing a talus fracture. Any idiot should know that you start out protecting the patient in case the injury you hope didn't occur actually did.

Even worse, Jimbo told Weigman to keep his ankle warm by jumping rope in the locker room.

I posted this during the game... not only was he hobbling in obvious pain , they passed right by a gator that is used for....drum roll please...transporting injured players.

I’d imagine a significant aspect is lefty roll out/play action. 

Also, play selection for that QB and tendencies/tells. There are plenty of things individual QBs do differently than others on the same team. We have been eviscerated quite a few times by "surprise" QBs, lest you forget.

Liucci sounds like someone has died throughout this nonsensical discussion but still finds a way to get on his knees for the SEC. 

 

Was on a long drive today and ran out of pods so I listened to this all the way through. Listening to Billy talk medical is pretty painful but he said the SEC grind is to blame for the aggie QB injuries and not the OLine. No mention of Tech rolling through QBs or any other school with an atrocious line. 

Even though he never quite said it his theme was in line with "if the other teams lose their QB a&m has a great shot because Max would start for more than half the SEC". That's the only hope he's holding onto that this team doesn't go 7-5.

It varies based on whether this is osteochondral, posterior process, lateral process, body, or neck. Best case for him is if it is a simple lateral process fracture. There is a high risk of AVN with more serious neck fractures. That’s super bad. Even if this heals up (and it can be slower than the average bone 6 week time), significant and early arthritis does occur with lots of these.

But on the plus side, he'll be so brain-addled from CTE he probably won't notice much.

Last good qb for A$M was Kellen Mond who aggy hated for reasons that weren't really black and white for me.

 

I thought they'd miss him , but I still think they really only miss his production

It’s incredible how Weigman could go from “that dude” to completely replaceable before we even get to October.

The sec grind? We’ve played as many sec teams as they have in the last 10 months and we’re not even in the conference yet.

... it will be 8-4 with a win against a weak opponent in the Liberty bowl... 

Honestly, 7 or 8 wins every year, an excuse (youth, difficult schedule, QB injury), and some small reason(s) for optimism is probably ideal.  

I hope they get every last minute of the Jimbo that they're paying for.

This 10,000%.  
I lie awake at night worrying that aggy will go 4-8 or 5-7, scrape up Jimbo’s buyout and actually hire a competent coach.  
 

Af least with Weigmans injury they have a built in excuse for when Bama rolls them.

Ah, it's the "SEC grind".

The guy didn't make it through one half of SEC football.

Yup.  Removing the ag blinders regarding the myth of the "SEC gauntlet" and the "SEC grind" is going to be one of the most fun parts of Texas joining the SEC.  Not that they'll actually ever be able to acknowledge their idiocy.
