Title: There’s a horrible, awful, no good injury rumor going around
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 26, 2022, 07:36:28 EDT
I won’t even link it here. But it’s out there, if you want your day (or week, or year) ruined. :banghead:

I assume you are talking about Tillman? Surely not Hooker? I really hate folks doing this. None of us are important in the hierarchy. Just spill the beans. Durn. I'm confident in our WR even without Tillman. It would suck for him if he misses more than a couple weeks. We've got receivers (capable enough I believe that we haven't even seen yet). Now if it is Hooker that would be huge & bad. Big Joe might surprise.

Nope, not gonna do it. The apparent source of this rumor has been known to be very, very wrong on stuff like this going back decades (if that’s not a strong hint on where to find the info yourself I don’t know what is). I don’t want to spread what may be a false rumor here, just want folks to be aware. :inughout:

This is where I miss the Feels Like 98 board. Those guys were young, but they legitimately had the scoop. 8th Maxim sucks. Volnation is ok, but a bit much at times. I don't pay for Volquest, and won't. I won't even pay for Tapatalk lol. Anyway, I saw on Volnation where somebody said 6-8 weeks for Tillman. That would suck for us, but especially him. We shall see.  :powert:

The rumor isn't about Tillman

So Hooker? Damn!

Simple solution, don't listen to Tony Basilio

Instant stress relief from general stupidity

Lol! I could envision Hooker having a fractured non throwing clavicle. Hope & pray not! Don't see how he could have finished the game if so.

The Iceman threw the winning TD pass in OT against Ark with a broken collar bone

Judging by his play in the 2nd half I doubt he had a serious injury but adrenaline can mask somethings (see Tillman walking off the field pretty damn good after his high ankle sprain)

People that I trust in the media (very few actually) seem to indicate nothing serious

Agree...would be shocked if it's anything much...Threw too well and hit and run well to be bad, IMO.

This is Tennessee. Assume the worst is probably true.

And if it is true this time, gonna need someone to talk me off the ledge and tell me why I shouldn't turn in my fan card for good.  :frown:

Oh come on! We likely are going 10-2 with Hooker. Alabama & Georgia have the ability to bludgeon the O at LOS. Doubt we can outscore either. W/O Hooker LSU & KY then come into question. I agree with that. We made it thru Pitt & UF as fans. We got this  :patriot:

I had this weird feeling in the middle of the Gator game that Hooker got hurt.  I forget the play, but it was just his body language.  later on in the game he seemed OK, so I thought I was mistaken.....

If I remember correctly he went into the medical tent twice

There's another possibility about the RB position although I have not heard anything. Two or three years ago the same situation pertaining to the QB happened to crama and it turned out to benefit them. If it happens to us seems a week ago we were talking about how much stronger we seem at the position now. I will NOT be the origin of gossip (rumor; innuendo).

It occurs to me now that we are also just a little banged up in the secondary and we really need no more woes there. We were also discussing that in another thread.

Not much on VQ other than what’s here. Speculation on TB betting anything from an idiot to a totally connected insider. The one thing I did find interesting was that supposedly Ainge also said that HH would probably not play if we had a game this weekend, but he also said that HH would possibly be ready by LSU.

HH was clearly banged up in the game. The 99 yard drive before half, and the second half performance seem to defy serious injury, but stranger things have happened. I have no doubt he is bruised, sore, and generally banged up. Nary a word on VolNation. I know some don't like that board, and all I do is read... But they have a few in the know type posters. I guess we'll see in two weeks.

And even if true (which it absolutely is not!) dare I say it?  Milton has looked good this year.  Maybe just good enough for the tigeuex  :inughout:

Ya know,  I've thought the same.   I think Milton would play better than he did starting off last year.

If Milton has to play it serves as a good audition for next year. I think he'd fare better than last season, even if he's not great.
