The whole Stave/Gordon injured/not injured think was just bizarre.

yeah, this is the first loss i have seen get more embarrassing as time went on. in and of itself, it was not a terrible loss, but it would have been a great win. i think lsu just wore them out.

agree. not unlike Ohio State and Navy. LSU is just the more talented team. Same goes for Ohio State - but after watching both games I wouldn't say LSU or Ohio State were the better teams last weekend.

 
I remember Taylor being injured. I remember the coaches saying he was injured. I remember them trying to get him back on the field and it was too early.

That is very different than Anderson claiming a player is injured, then both coming out and saying they aren't injured. Then Anderson coming and and saying he is but he isn't. Then the Player saying he isn't but his body doesn't work.

Then, an RB who has a great game going all of a sudden disappears from the biggest game in the OOC only to claim he was perfectly fine in the post game press conference and the head coach claiming he has no clue why his star player isn't in the biggest game in the OOC when you are starting to lose only to have the staff come out and claim some type of muscle soreness but nothing more.

Many many coaches have had players injured and try to get them back in before their time. But, I haven't ever seen the saga like what Wisconsin had this weekend.

Minnesota yes - but I don't remember much talk about it before/during the UCLA game. We spend weeks on here trying to figure out when it happened, how big of a deal it was, etc, etc.

 
So...these two are the same thing?

a) A star player is put in a big game trying to win the game but it ended up being too early. The player couldn't perform and we end up losing the game.

b) A star player is kept completely out of a game a team loses. The coach claims he is injured. The coach and player then come out separately and say he isn't injured. The player says he isn't injured, his arm just doesn't work.

Strange comparison.

Was it turf toe? Or a broken bone?

Martinez also said the injury to his left foot had been inaccurately described to the media as turf toe, which is a sprain of the ligaments around the big toe joint. The injury actually is to his second and third toes. He declined to comment when asked if either of the toes were sprained or broken.

Not nearly as odd as the Wisconsin saga, but it does have similar elements.

Exactly...not nearly as odd...which is my point.
