Basilio saying that bad injury news is coming.

No, not all do.

And among those who do, the successful ones know when it is appropriate to tease info and when not.

No one would dare tease JFK's assassination, for instance. None would tease the 9/11 attacks.

An injured player is nowhere close to that serious, of course, but it's still not fodder for the 'tease' style of generating drama.

Tease a new ad campaign, tease your upcoming live broadcast from Joe's Pool Hall next Friday night, even tease an announcement about a coaching hire. But don't tease injuries or anything that can be negatively life-changing for the people involved.

Like I said, I wouldn't know Basilio's voice if I heard it, never listened to the man. Just going by the strongly negative responses people in VolNation have had to his methods.

lol. Are you freaking serious? If teasing a player injury isn't as serious as the JFK assassination or 9/11, then don't use that as an analogy. That is patently absurd.

And he didn't tease it, he said he didn't have any additional info to share yet. It's not like he says "Big news coming, but I won't share it until the last segment of the show." He just aid he heard rumors of an injured player, and that was that. He shares the info he has, be it very little or very big. Personally, that's what I want in a talk radio source.

Maybe listen to the show once before forming an opinion, just a suggestion.

People on VN criticize him because it's easy and some of his info is wrong sometimes, and there are plenty of low hanging fruit jokes to make. It's the same thing with the board "insiders." They get tons of flack for the couple of times they are wrong from that select crowd, despite the fact they provide lots of good information for free. It's just internet culture, but it's still a bummer sometimes.

I'm pretty sure the lol is more laughing at the situation the Vols seem to fall in every fall camp. He's not laughing at Hall personally getting hurt.

I'm not sure that made sense^.

No, I was lol at the guy who said it was not confirmed after Basilio and GFW said it was.

What specific injury would that be? Unless I've missed it it's just a non-ACL injury that required surgery and will be out an undisclosed amount of time. Everything else is speculative at this time with half of VN on the edge of the cliff with Catbone already taken the leap.

Is there anyway Boulware, Sanders, or Ryan Johnson can fight for time at Tackle? Other than Tatum, Johnson is the only other freshman OL I've really heard about. Not knocking Tatum and I know he got his stripe off, just think he's too small right now.

So far, we seem to have more speculation than fact.

-- It seems pretty sure now that Chance Hall was injured.
-- Seems fairly sure it's his knee.
-- The report that he underwent (successful) surgery this morning seems widely accepted.

And yet none of that is confirmed by anyone in the program.

Beyond those three points, I'd take everything else with a huge grain of salt: the 4-6 weeks, the meniscus, the 'cleaning out' nature of the surgery, none of that seems anything more than conjecture at this point.

Think we won't know any of this for sure until Butch talks (this afternoon?).

Given that Vereen was back in 5 weeks at a position that requires more explosiveness and cutting, I think it's reasonable to think (assuming the injuries are the same) that Hall could be back in a similar timeframe, perhaps even earlier. OT obviously requires athleticism and quick movements, but not to the same degree as many other positions on the field.

Hell, didn't Gilliam play 75% of the 2014 season with an actual torn ACL?

Thanks man. I've seem players practice the next week or take the full 4-6 weeks, depending on the severity. I think an Arky player tore his meniscus last week and is back this week. Do we know the severity of the meniscus injury?

No one has even said it is a meniscus injury. Even that description is essentially worthless since there is such a wide range of possible issues

I think having Jack Jones as back up to Kendrick (even though he's played guard mostly) makes sense. 6'4, 310lbs, athletic, and willing to play where he's needed. Played in 9 games last year against tough teams too. Plus, he's a Jack of all trades. I couldn't help myself...

What on earth could be funny about an injury? Why would any Vols fan have glee at any nugget of potential injury news?

If you guys can't see this dude is a UGA troll then I don't know what to say to ya'll.

Dawgbone's behavior with regard to injury rumors is blatantly obvious. While the rest of us are cautiously optimistic, he assumes the worst and seems to relish in the bad news. Many times he spins information into the most negative connotation such as these recent info from GFW.

Its disgusting IMO.

Man, this dude is crazy!
