Montee Ball attacked
August 1st, 2012 at 11:17 AM ^
Awful. I hope he will be ok.
was this the big news that Helmholdt was predicting yesterday?
If disrespectful was a sport you hit it out of the park there, champ.

August 1st, 2012 at 11:38 AM ^
I liked it.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:41 AM ^
How could a delicious restaurant attack someone? (Rim shot please)
August 1st, 2012 at 12:35 PM ^
The real question is how could it attack his head? Heart, colon, and arteries all seem within reason.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:41 AM ^
I usually have stomach issues from all that greasy food after Five Guys...
August 1st, 2012 at 11:19 AM ^
just horrible. I hope the kid is ok.
-on a lighter note, I'm sure 5 guys was the minimum it would take to bring him down in a fight.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:35 AM ^
"I didn't know how many of 'em it was gonna take to kick my as$, but I knew how many they were gonna use"
I hope Montee has a speedy recovery, and that the perpetrators face the punishment they deserve

This can only be the work of the Angry Iowa RB Hating God as the AIRBHG has turned its wrath on RBs across the entire Big Ten this offseason:
Fitz Toussaint - Michigan RB charged with DUI
Jordan Hall - OSU RB cut foot and out at least 10 weeks
Ralph Bolden - Purdue RB arrested for public intoxication after forcibly kissing a woman at a bar against her will
Silas Redd - PSU RB transfer to USC
Brionte Dunn - OSU RB charged with 2 misdemeanors and caught with someone else's marijuana
Montee Ball - Wisconsin RB attacked in unprovoked assault
Not to mention the extensive damage it has wrought on Iowa this offseason (Marcus Coker and Mikail McCall transfers, Jordan Canzeri torn ACL, Greg Garmon 2 misdemeanor charges for marijuana possession, & the De'Andre Johnson saga)
Nebraska better hide Rex Burkhead in a safe place.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:25 AM ^
So AIRBHG is now ABTRBHG?
How can it be stopped.

Sacrifice a mascot at his altar.
August 1st, 2012 at 12:09 PM ^
Silas Redd transfered to escape the wrath that the AIRBHG on the rest of the Big Ten. Angry about his preys new found freedom, AIRBHG decided to strike on the highest profile RB in the league.
In all seriousness though, I hope Montee Ball a speedy recovery and to be fully health by the time the season starts.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:20 AM ^
I bet the five attackers were wearing ski masks and MSU jerseys.
Hopefully the injuries are minor.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:22 AM ^
How'd Gholston manage to make it to Wisconsin...?
August 1st, 2012 at 11:28 AM ^
He drove with Lawrence Thomas.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:39 AM ^
fastest slowest way from Ludington to Manitowoc
August 1st, 2012 at 12:25 PM ^
And as soon as one gets to Manitowoc, he gets the hell out of there.
I've been on that car ferry (Lord, I almost spelled it "fairy" without looking back) before. Maybe none too random for you Michiganders but as an Iowan I never thought I'd see that thing again.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
August 1st, 2012 at 11:28 AM ^
Seriously though, that's pretty sad.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:28 AM ^
They were not wearing MSU jerseys... but I heard that Dantonio has just sent out 5 new scholarship offers.
August 1st, 2012 at 12:08 PM ^
I guess when MSU says they're recruiting nationally, they mean recruiting prisons nationally..
August 1st, 2012 at 12:56 PM ^
I think it's known as "recruiting federally."
August 1st, 2012 at 11:40 AM ^
In their defense, it was necessary roughness and they didn't even do it for 60 minutes.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:23 AM ^
August 1st, 2012 at 11:26 AM ^
One thing I learned (not first hand) when going to college was to not mess with the football players. I'm sure there will be some payback, and it won't be pretty. But, hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:35 AM ^
I did learn it first hand. My bathroom plumbing never recovered.
August 1st, 2012 at 12:50 PM ^
August 1st, 2012 at 12:16 PM ^
August 1st, 2012 at 11:27 AM ^
I wonder what the circumstances were. Is this a wrong place wrong time type of thing or is it a Monte Ball was sleeping with some guys girlfriend type incident.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:35 AM ^
August 1st, 2012 at 11:39 AM ^
As stated in this thread already, WTF is wrong with people.
These attacks have been happening in Madison for awhile now. They seem to be random. Of course, they may have picked the wrong victim this time. I'm sure this will get the full attention of the police.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:31 AM ^
Don't they call him the wrecking ball or something? He needs to take a self-defense class from this guy:
I had no idea prince fielder did any child acting
August 1st, 2012 at 11:34 AM ^
August 1st, 2012 at 11:35 AM ^
Good news. Probably just took him to the hospital to cover their bases and make sure everything was alright.
August 1st, 2012 at 12:30 PM ^
Could still be serious enough to affect playing time... concussion or skull fracture... not necessarily serious enough to warrant admission to the hospital, but certainly could impact an athlete in a contact sport. Hopefully it was just a cut that needed stitches or a black eye.
Disclaimer: While I am a doctor, I have no inside knowledge of this specific situation. And yes, Mr. Rager, I am a full time physician that has time to comment on a blog... I will send you a PDF of my diploma.
August 1st, 2012 at 11:40 AM ^
This is sad. I hope Ball recovers fully and has a great season, except for the CCG when he faces us. Then I hope he fumbles 4 times. But other than that, I hope he's alright.

You should see the other 5 guys faces
