Ok call me paranoid, but didn't a former uga rb (name?) break his leg so bad at probowl beach game he almost lost his leg and ended his career? And while bowling ain't exactly an injury prone sport, can't people who aren't used to it hurt their back etc? Why would outback bowl make players do this? Sea world great, eating meat, fine, but beach,sand stuff...just stupid IMHO.

I might hurt my back bowling, but the beach should be good. When we going?

You must have just watched the Coach episode when Bo Whitley got hurt doing the limbo.

Should these guys stay in their hotel rooms all day until the game? So many disastrous things could happen to them should they leave. They might even get food poisoning from eating meat

As long as they don't start hucking bowling balls at each other's "haids" they're prolly going to be safe...

I think bowling would be fine, but beach volleyball i wouldnt want some guy splaying incase they twist something.

I was listening to mascona yesterday I believe and he spoke about this. Some coaches would keep the players cooped up in the hotel rooms the whole time, others let them enjoy their time there. So it just depends on the coach i guess. up to Miles to make sure they just realize they still have a game to play.

I hope u don't have kids. If so do you wrap them in bubble wrap when they go outside? Are they even allowed to go outside? Jesus Christ man lighten up

They could get hurt walking to class. You can't keep them in a glass case. Life is meant to be lived.

They should have skipped the trip to the Tampa Children's hospital. One of them might have gotten cancer.

I worry every time the team gets on a plane. What if it crashes? It would count in the loss column.

I can't lie. The thought of injury crossed my mind when I saw the pics of last year's Outback Bowl tug of war on the beach.

They can get hurt going down stairs, walking around, driving, etc. They can get hurt lifting weights in summer program, at practice, etc.

Cant keep them locked up in their rooms due to fear of being injured. The ones that matter to the team wont be idiots. They know what to do and what not to do when it comes to the risk of injury and what not.

And yes... you're paranoid.

Is this serious?

It's not like they're drag-racing motorcycles, they're going fricking BOWLING! These are some of the most elite athletes in the world, and you're scared that they'll get hurt bowling???



Sure it could happen, but they have a better chance of getting in a car accident any day of the week, might as well worry about that while you're at it.

You could possibly show how stupid you are by beginning a thread on the Rant so I would recommend not starting any additional threads. Does this pretty much sum up your thoughts? People shouldn't do things they are conditioned for, we want you ready for the bowl game.
