Zero in on Bar Eagles first. There will be plenty of time after going 8-0 to talk about the gumps. Would be sweet to take both colleges from Bama out in the next few weeks. Auburn first

The surgery is less effective than 3 months of rest, then rehab (but better than duct tape)

Seldom have I seen or heard of someone having surgery on an ankle sprain

It’s called a tightrope procedure. They basically put bands around the tendons to help strengthen his ankle. Rehab time is usually 4-6 weeks.

It’s not just a band around something. They drill through the bone and place an anchor. This is real surgery. Don’t see how you could safely be back running in 2 weeks...but Saban doesn’t care about his players long term health.

He’d better be well in time. Daddy is popping that belt in his hands.
