Harbaugh to Michigan

He's fine, as said before, 127 youngest team of 130. He finally gave a start yesterday  to one of he's QB picks rather then all those left overs and transfers. He's new O line picks need to get in as well, lot's of injuries lot's of freshmen playing. Next year should be pretty exciting, as long as Speigh somehow doesn't get he's qb job back. There are a couple studs in that qb position waiting, receivers need to gel with them as well. Anyone who thinks he should be fired doesn't know football, hey, like Jed York. I couldn't be happier where this build is going, was not happy about the MSU loss, but that was young players doing young player stupid things, like committing 5 turn overs. loosing to PSU was pretty inevitable. It's a build up year nothing more. Mediocre expectations. next year on the other hand should be pretty exciting.

Some info in the paper from Speight's father after his injury at Purdue. Gives some insight into why Harbaugh complained.

Michigan and Michigan State have full X-ray capabilities at their stadiums, and they also provide police escorts if a player needs to be transported to and from the hospital. It’s not clear why Speight wasn’t transported directly to a hospital by ambulance.

Instead, Wilton sat in the front seat of a van provided by Purdue and driven by a student. The Speights, two medical trainers, a doctor and Thai Trinh, an orthopedic sports medicine fellow at Michigan, piled into a van to be transported to the student health clinic, about two blocks from the stadium.

...

“They take us in the basement,” Bobby Speight said. “It’s very dimly lit. Halfway down the hall, there’s a (radiology) technician. Wilton is in (partial) uniform and still wearing cleats, and she asks Wilton his name. The (van driver) says he needs an X-ray. (The technician) looks at me and says, ‘I need your insurance card.’ ”

...

“And we waited 20 minutes for the rescue squad team,” he said. “At that point, Wilton says he has tingling in his legs and is in substantial pain. The EMT riding in the back of the ambulance asks us if we need an IV or vital monitoring and Trinh replied, ‘No, but we need him stable and immobile. This is a back injury.’ We stop at a light, and the Michigan doctor asks how long is it going to take, and (the EMT) said 30 to 45 minutes on game day.

“Our doctor asked him, ‘Couldn’t we please turn on the siren and make better time?’ And (the rescue squad member) said, ‘Don’t you get smart with me. You said this is a non-vital trip.’ Our doctor said, ‘I don’t care what I told you, this boy has tingling in his legs. Turn the siren on and go.’

 

We are radiologic technologists.  Not technicians.  I had to extensively study the concepts of radiation and radiation protection and I earned a degree.  God it pisses me off when people call me a technician.
