A Sea Of Red

Thanks

not 2 seconds ago I asked the same question (over in the Postmortem thread)

praying he's ok and again- anyone that gets an update please let us know

Brock should be calling soon, I will ask. I hope Godsill is ok..

Broken fibula.

Word is its a fractured ankle, may require surgery.

Broken fibula. Will require surgery. Already scheduled for next week.

Wow...he must have FUBAR'd it...
...many times a fibula will just be casted. It should heal fine, I would guess...since that is not the weight-bearing bone in the lower leg.

He told me he was going to have to get pins in his leg to stabilize it.

That's not good. What year is Mike again?
IF we do get in, How good is Stone?

According to the roster Mike is a Junior. Britt did pretty admirably filling in today.

I pray for him a healthy and quick recovery

As a sidebar, Britt Stone did play some center in the year or two before Coach Rocco came in so its not like he is in an unfamiliar spot on the field

This hits especially home to our FlameFans community. Our prayers go out to Mike, madmat and the entire family for a successful surgery.

He came back after the game during all the celebration. He's on crutches. He looked okay despite the injury. He was wearing his Big South Champion tshirt

sorry to hear that for Mike- but if any program can help a guy rehab- its THIS one. Plus, he's got the whole offseason.

Hoping surgery goes smoothly and praying for all the best for him.

This is from Mike's Dad, ( on the road...through his sister in Myrtle beach ha ha )
Mike did break his fibia and he is disappointed about not being able to play next Saturday. He is very happy for all of his team mates and coaches. he will be having surgery on Tues. Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts. God willing he will be Soooo ready for SPRING BALL!

Definitely - we'll be praying for his surgery and recovery.

thanks for the report MADMAT (and the OPTIMISM!)

love it!

please forward along the prayers and best wishes of the guys/gals here at FF.com

so proud of Mike and the guys!

Praying for Mike's quick recovery and rehab for next season.

My prayers are with Mike and the docs.

Not saying that this isn't a serious injury, but the Fibula is the non weight bearing bone in the lower leg with the Tibia being the weight bearing bone. Athletes have actually been known to compete with a simple fracture of the fibula. That is clearly not what this is. The fact that they are talking about pins would indicate that this is a more serious displaced fracture. Successful surgury and rehab should make the bone as good as new. The biggest risk is possible nerve damage which could affect the function of the foot.

I really enjoy this board

It was a cheap shot hit. Mike's a tough kid, he'll be back. I saw all of em after the game but didn't feel like interrupting. I still can't believe they let his girlfriend out on the field.

Thanks for the update, madmat. Glad to hear everyo0ne has a positive outlook on his future.

Not actually on the field during the game....either after the game or on the sidelines right?

No, when Mike was down, mom and girlfriend came out of the stands on the field. I can semi-understand mom, but girlfriend flipping out (who does that anytime he is on the ground two seconds) was a little much. I understand being in the stands, but she shouldn't have been on the field. Mom can go out there because she's mom. Girlfriend no.
