My daughter does competitive cheer and injured her hamstring the last competition of the year and spent the whole off season doing rehab... Any injury at this level of football is not good...

It is not good but some injuries you can still somewhat perform... When I saw Gillespie react on his score I could relate to the pain. It takes several weeks to be able to make power cuts. A hammy injury or quad also suck and take a good while to heal.(I pulled a hammy in track and it took a good year before it felt fine) The thing about a groin injury is you feel good running a straight line. When you make a hard cut... you feel pain/burning so bad in areas as a male you do not want to feel.

I just wanted to give my overview of the injury. If he has a groin injury it is not something you get better in a week. It is a long term thing that effects your ability to make an explosive cut.

Why would you give a rat's ass about hearing any gator fans excuses. I would just be laughing in their faces.

Lots of Over Confident Vol Fans on here... I'm excited and nervous, too much hype around this game- Game Day,Recruits, Rankings... sounds like the Old Days but these kids have never felt the pressure of expectation before. Could turn our season on it's head. We gotta learn how to WIN in these situations tho, so man up VOLS.
This is why you came to TENNESSEE !!!

Don’t mind that a bit. It’s usually the ones who don’t rest that reaggravate that thing in games. I know Muschamp said they were gonna lighten the load, but I just don’t believe it.

Me neither.

If he's practicing then it must be a mild pull or sprain. With treatments in between. Nonetheless, he's susceptible to tweaking it.
McCuller's will have the middle plugged. We'll need to contain the edge.
Long night for both him and Driskel. IMO

Sal will load the box and make Driskel beat us with his arm! Gillislie, injury or not, will have to earn tough yards

I'm tired of this same tired incessant "i want to beat them at full strength' BS.

No team in the history of football has ever beaten another team at full strength. Never.

There is ALWAYS an injury, or a suspension, or whatever.

So stop whining about it, ffs.

Merge if necessary.

Didn't see it posted, but Herbstreit just said on ESPN that Gilislie may not play on Sat. HUGE if true. Anyone heard anything?

Meaning no disrespect, the word "may" denotes a possibility as opposed to unalterable fact.

Latest word I heard is that he's practicing and will play against us.

Making cuts on a pulled or sprained groin is where it really hurts so it's very possible that after a few hard cuts he'll injure himself worse and be on the sidelines the rest of the game.

It doesn't matter who plays or doesn't.

The only thing that counts is getting a Tennessee WIN!!!

By 1 point or 40 doesn't matter to me as long as our Big Orange has more points at the end of the game.

VFL...GBO!!!

As much as I was hoping for 2 fairly healthy teams for game day it will not detract from the W if some of their key players are not. When the roles have been reversed it didn't once put an asterisk or any other footnote next to our loses all those years. I will say this though, being giddy about opposing player injuries IMO is just bad karma.

How does karma work? is it an endless cycle? What I mean, is it bad karma when karma pays the other back? Are we storing up bad mojo because the mojo is being paid back from last year?

This is all so confusing.

I think I will continue to not believe in karma, and just hope he's gimpy for our game while making a full recovery for the rest of their season.

My senior year I tore my quad off of the bone. Didn't know it. Probably the worst pain my live while running, but I just thought id pulled it really bad. Played the whole playoffs with it off the bone. Shot it up before each game. Finally had it fixed after the season. Moral of the story- he'll play it they want him to.

Everyone should be prepared for a lose though as well. I see this forum exploding with a. Loss. More so than with a win. Not being a Johnny rain cloud. but still......

I see reasons to have high expectations, but to move on to the rest of the season if we lose.

It doesn't have to be an either/or scenario.
