Possible Spinal Injury at M***igan practice

http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/report-serious-injury-schembechler

Terrible news. Things like this make football games seem small. Hopefully the ambulance crews are just a precaution, and not tending to a serious injury. Thoughts and prayers with the player and his family

UPDATE: Player is reportedly DT Ondre Pipkins, one of their top recruits from the last class. Movement in extremities -- a good sign -- https://twitter.com/Spath_Wolverine/status/236462673695494145

That's awful, kid has NFL potential already.  Hope he recovers quick.

Scary stuff.  I hope he's ok.  It's been a bad week for freshmen Dlinemen.  Prayers, but I'm sure he'll be fine.  He is a transformer, after all---Pee Wee Optimus Prime!

Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

There aren't many things scarier than a black out moment on a football field. One second your hitting someone and the next thing you know a team of people are tending to you. I hope he pulls through and heals fully.

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off

Hope he's okay. I hate Michigan but never, ever forget these are just young men playing a game. Prayers for him and his family.

Hopefully this kid is okay and I hope this experience humbles him. I believe Ondre was the prime trash talker of his recruiting class.

Really? Come on man...what does this have to do with him being humbled?

Exactly. I'm not Pipkens's biggest fan, but I never would want this to happen to anyone.

I know right, just because he talked trash doesn't mean he deserves this!

Why are we seeing so any people becoming jerks on here to these kids? I left other sites because it seemed no one could reel in that nonsense.

Anyone know how it happened? I'd guess maybe he buked his head down when engaged in a block and maybe a fullback caught him on the crown of his helmet.  Scary, hope this kid is okay.

Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

 come on man.  whether he talks tarsh or not nobody needs an injury to make them humble.  trash talking is a part of the game and life.  if we get so caught up in the trash talk, need to get a life.  Pray the kid is ok and makes a full recovery.  we all need to put football into perspective.

With all the concussion talk lately, stories about microfracture surgeries, and freak accidents like this I have to say I'm glad I played baseball my whole life and opted against football. Hope the kid bounces back alright!

Hope he gets better. Dude looks like he could be a future first round pick if things work out for him.
