Inky Named Captain for Bama Game!

LawVol · 10-20-2006, 10:20 AM

From The Tennessean:

Honorary captain: Cornerback Inquoris Johnson, who underwent surgery to repair torn blood vessels in his right-shoulder area, will serve as an honorary captain for Saturday's game.
Fulmer said Johnson will be honored on the field prior to kickoff and is expected to be cleared to watch the game from the sideline. Johnson had been confined to the press box since his injury in the Sept. 9 Air Force game.
He recently traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for additional surgery. Fulmer said he's recently spent much of his time, before and after the surgery, around the team.
"He's actually been coming to meetings and doing his own rehab here and been at some practices," Fulmer said.
"But I think this is just a nice way to honor him on a special Saturday for Tennessee people."

That should get the team and the fans fired up a little before the game!

GO VOLS!!

Man I have to say that's awesome. We prayed for him over on the Bama forum when we found out about his injury. Me and some friends were wondering about him last night. What's the latest word about his injury?

Awesome. I'd like to see us do this w/ Prothro for a game. I guess we're waiting until Auburn?

Classy posts Tiders. Hope they do something for Prothro too.

Good for Inky....

That's cool...what a horrible injury. I hope he can recover fully. Hopefully tomorrow will be an injury-free game for both sides.

Isn't Prothro playing again next year. Johnson is done.

Yeah, Prothro was the ultimate deadly receiver. Hope his recovery allows him to return. He'd have a great future.

Great gesture to a kid with a horrible injury. Thanks, Bama-faithful, for your support. Glad to see fellow SEC fans, and good-hearted people, praying for recovery.
