Without an injury, if you play a single play, even just the opening kickoff of the season opener, you lose a year. An "injury" lets you claim a medical red-shirt but only if you do not play past the fourth game.

Thanks for clearing that up. So does that mean he could have played in all of the first 4 games and still not lose his eligibility as long he has an injury. I assume you are putting injury in quotes because basically anything that is documented as a Freshman year injury will be accepted by the NCAA as long as you don't play after game 4.

Getting back to Uncle Bill's Tweezers...I could really use a super sized toenail clipper. Or a machete.

Try taking a shower once in awhile to soften those things up. KA???!

No I didn't go there, I'm not paying any royalties.

As I understand it, as long as it is a documented injury, the NCAA will rubber stamp it. Slaughter's issue (as I understand it) is that he is attempting to claim that he did not play his freshman year due to a pre-existing injury which is not as black and white, especially since he is applying for a sixth year waiver.

Thanks for clearing that up because I was of the opinion that once you played at any stage during the season you lost your year. Way to work the system BK.

Got a great feeling he and Day are gonna be monsters Great thing about the young guys is that at most positions, there are great role models and leaders who can pass the torch of excellence.
Right Guard notwithstanding.
