Following LSU's 41-14 win at Mississippi State, head coach Brian Kelly revealed that starting safety Greg Brooks Jr. was unavailable because of a medical emergency.

When asked about the severity of the emergency and if Brooks could return, Kelly said he "wouldn’t be able to comment on it until we get a full medical report.”

After the win, Kelly gave the game ball to Brooks.

This means so much more now that we know what the emergency was.

Its a family emergency so lets now pray for Brooks' family so he can play with a clear mind and focus on him being able to responsibly cover on Tigah's defense.

Apparently I'm misunderstanding this whole game ball thing. I was always under the impression that it was for performance on the field, not some feel good crap.

We seem to be veering towards a soft arse team. Especially with a mantra like "winning is hard". Hope I'm wrong.

Winning is hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it.

Under Coach O news like this came out before the whole staff was aware. Amazing how BK has kept the “insiders” out.

It is HIPAA & the school isn't bound by HIPAA regs.

I’m know you’ll be sure to broadcast to the world the minute you find out you have a bad health scare. Is a printout of his medical records within the next few days sufficient for someone of your ilk?
