I'm so excited

This thread is way less interesting than the SD PM thread from a year ago. Guys, we are less than 20 days away, it's OK to spill the beans on insider secrets at this point.

If you don't Riley rough ridin' Gates will probably do it.

Do we have any players who if they were lost for the year, it would matter?

duke shelley would hurt pretty bad

Sullivan should/could be back by MSU.  Don't know the exact injury but sounds like an MCL sprain. (I think they feared it was a tear but came back ok).  Mccoy, is more a question mark. It sounds like it is similar to what ailed him for the spring game.  (head/neck area).  Like, it's possible there could be something really bad, but they can't tell and don't think so.  But at the same time don't want to risk it.  I'm not really sure and I don't think they are either.  Good friend is a high school coach with a former player or two on the team and he's good friends with their parents as well.  That's all he had been told, or at least all he told me.

Thanks for the great information!  I hope that both are able to recovery as our coordinators talked highly about both of them and this seems like their first season to be a starter / major contributor.  Without McCoy we'd still have Barnes, Silmon and Warmack which gives plenty of time to make sure he is healed properly.  Neck and head injuries are awful scary.


LB is a big concern without Sullivan.  Sizelove and Hughes have some experience, but corps is awful thin.  Perhaps Green or Walker will get some situational snaps?  Hopefully Sullivan recovers quickly and can get back on the field.
