WR Ray Small (official thread)

[MililaniBuckeye]

He hasn't been the same since he got detonated in the 2006 Minnesota game...

 

[RugbyBuck]

Mili, I haven't been the same since watching that hit.

 

[brodybuck21]

i thought he was dead after that hit.

 

[Bleed S & G]

i thought he was dead after that hit.

I did too.. with his hands stuck up in the air.. truley scary

 

[Dryden]

i thought he was dead after that hit.

Yeah. The convulsions and twitching hands had me thinking the same.

The dude that hit him has never been the same either. Kicked off the team as i recall.

 

[shetuck]

But he hung on to the ball, iirc...

 

[brodybuck21]

i think it was a kid from c-bus that hit him, correct?

Well, Ray was featured in a new safety & sportsmanship video shown at the Big Ten presser today. The hit Dominic Jones laid on him was featured, as was the one Warrick laid on Kyle Jefferson last year. On the sportsmanship side, there was a shot of a player jumping into the stands and removing their helmet in celebration of a TD, which will now count as TWO unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.

I think the new multiple-infractions-for-unsportsmanlike-behavior should be dubbed the Richt-Meyer rule. :p

Nope, ESPN said it was Santonio Holmes. ESPN is never wrong.

 

[Taosman]

Your both wrong! It was Louis Holmes! :tongue2:

 

[Dryden]

Yeah. I think that blogger saw the #4 and thought Holmes.

It was definitely the hit on Ray Small in '06, though.

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

Without knowing more about the situation, I think the approach to Small should be anything that he gives, whether it be on the practice squad or in games, are treated as bonus. Do not expect anything from this young man and that might help him mature.

 

[Best Buckeye]

I , too , think that he wasn't the same after that hit and that TB is correct in saying that we shouldn't expect too much out of him until he fully recovers. Who knows what his frame of mind is?
