I read on the Michigan 247 board that Countess had a knee sprain. Don't know the accuracy of it or the seriousness of a knee sprain if it's true.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
I will cry tears of joy if it is just a sprain. They'll need the MRI to be sure though.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:30 AM ^
I hope it's nothing as serious as a knee sprain. Countess has been described as a workhorse on this defense. If there's something wrong with his leg, they're going to shoot him.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:33 AM ^
How does 247 know this information and not the general public? They have a trainer as inside info-sharer or something?
September 2nd, 2012 at 1:13 PM ^
that he was hearing knee strain, idk how to link to a tweet though so here's it copy pasted
No official word from Michigan on Blake Countess, but heard after the game that the early word is it's NOT an ACL.#LittleGoodNewsOnBadNight
Hearing knee strain as opposed to ACL. Time will tell. No official word one way or the other from #Michigan until Monday at earliest
Have heard nothing on Lewan yet
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:15 AM ^
yes, we are keeping it a secret from you
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
Demens will be out 2-3 weeks with a broken ego.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
Not only Demens, but he entire defense. Wow, that was ugly. Good thing it is only the first game!
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:34 AM ^
The defense went up against an NFL O-Line and Running Back. They made a lot of solid tackles -- don't fault them for their competition.
September 2nd, 2012 at 1:21 AM ^
They went up against a NFl o line and a tailback who was in highschool this time last year. They missed a lot of tackles they should have made. Thats the thing about accountability, who else would you blame. They just need to play better
September 2nd, 2012 at 1:16 PM ^
only yeldon was a freshman, lacy and fowler were both juniors or seniors. all of them were massive and they will break a lot of tackles this year
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
I know. I'm just not telling.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
It's on the VIP board.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:17 AM ^
I'm assuming Demens got pulled. Errybody got pulled tonight
But I'm curious about Countess/Lewan updates as well. Your thread is a lifeboat of usefulness amidst a sea of orca piss and cat dung.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
That's hilarious. Kudos to you.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:46 AM ^
That orca piss, like sheep's bladders, can be used to prevent natural disasters.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:20 AM ^
all injuries are life threatening. at least that's the conclusion i made. you can call me webmd if you like
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
"Michael Rothstein@mikerothstein
Hoke had no update on Countess or Lewan."
So I'm guessing no updates until tomorrow at the earliest.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
Felt like Gibbons tried to kick my groin while thinking of a brunette.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Knowing Hoke we won't know for sure until the Air Force game starts
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Every Alabama player is fine. Thanks for the concern.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^

September 2nd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Countess and Lewan are injured.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
/Hoke press conference
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
actually played, it just looked like he wasn't out there.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
If anyone had an injury update, i'm sure they would post a thread much better than the last ten threads.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^

obvious no practice. Back at the hotel and still can't believe our top receiver is a QB that can't catch and the only offensive scheme we can come up with that works is the long pass. Watch some Troy Smith video for godsakes. The fact that we are 2 years, at least, undermanned doesn't help.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:32 AM ^
Blake Countess on crutches per Mike Rothstein....
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:56 AM ^
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:58 AM ^
Could be precautionary. Or if a sprain, maybe the best way to heal is to stay off it right away. I'm sure we'll hear soon.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:35 AM ^
Heather Cox mentioned something about Hoke himself being "really sick" and having "lost his voice." Anyone know what that was all about? Cold? Flu?
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:42 AM ^
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:14 AM ^
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:41 AM ^
Sure they did—after the Alabama player ran through three or four tackles first. With a few exceptions, the tackling was horrendous this evening.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:55 AM ^
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:43 AM ^
whatever it is i say you sit lewan,countess and moore next week no matter what.
September 2nd, 2012 at 8:47 AM ^

September 2nd, 2012 at 10:41 AM ^
Are we really in a position where we can take teams like Air Force for granted and sit are best players? They had a weaning record last year and we just made Alabama look like the Emmitt Smith led Dallas Cowboys.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:32 AM ^
weaning?
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:45 AM ^
sam webb said early reports on countess is its NOT his acl.
