MSU Alante brown concussion
Alante brown left the MSU game on a stretcher after he hit on the opening kick off, he was cleared to play by msu medical staff and allowed to return to the field by msu coaching staff and even returned a kick off after.
im not a medical expert, but it’s clear by the video that Alante was KO’d on the hit.
ps, I suck at embedding.

One of my MSU friends watched the video and still said it was just a stinger. Lol. That poor bastard.

No one ever said MSU alumni are the brightest

Spartans Will....deliver my pizza.

Ok....
September 5th, 2023 at 8:34 AM ^
I've had stingers before. They never caused me to lose consciousness. Ridiculous shit by the MSU medical staff.

I will care about Michigan State football for approximately one week this year. This isn't that week.
September 3rd, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
I will think of MSU as dead until coach Harbaugh makes it so and then ill think of them no more.
Extra credit if you know the movie.

RIP BB

Just a minor bruise... on the brain

Shane Morris agrees from his glass house.
Too soon??
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
How is that a glass house? I don't think many Michigan fans are happy about how we handled that. The main point of discussion is who bore the most responsibility.
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:45 PM ^
Michigan fans protested how the university handled the Shane Morris incident, ultimately leading to Dave Brandon being fired. If MSU wants to get out of Mel Tucker’s contract, they have cause now to do so. That’s abhorrent in today’s day and age with all we know about head injuries to let that young man back on the field. He was literally immobilized and driven off the field.
September 3rd, 2023 at 6:16 PM ^
As long as the MSU AD and Tucker meet the same fate as Brandon and Hoke. They were torched by the media - and they deserved it. Morris at least staggered to the sideline. Brown needed medical attention and immobilized removal.
I’ve had 2 significant stingers and numerous teammates with stingers. None of those incidents looked like a KO in the 7th from a right cross. Stingers involve the nerves associated with the neck, shoulder, and arm with typical effect on one side of the body; the brain, legs and overall mobility are not impaired by the brachial plexus. It’s perhaps possible but highly improbable that Brown simply had a stinger.

Just a rerun of Hoke, though I think this is a year early.
September 3rd, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
Mel Tucker is MSU's Brady Hoke, for sure.
September 3rd, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
Not "for sure" at all, IMO.
While Hoke had his faults, in no way would I equate Hoke's shortcomings with what my perception is of Mel Tucker and the direction the msu program is heading under MeLLLLLLL.
September 3rd, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
Do I feel bad for the guy? Absolutely. Do I care about MSU? Not at all.
In all seriousness, what goes through one’s mind to post this?
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
It’s a viral story.
“Michigan State University SLAMMED by concussion experts for allowing Alante Brown back onto the field after he crumpled to the ground from a horrific clash of heads with 'clear signs' of concussion”
September 3rd, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
allowed to return to the field by msu coaching staff and even returned a kick off after.
He then went back into concussion protocol then changed into street clothes
If this situation was any team of note, this would be a huge story, but since it's MSU no one cares
September 3rd, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
You know, I dislike MSU as much as everyone else around here, but I don't want to see their players injured. Or further injured because of carelessness on the part of their med staff.
So, even though it's MSU, people should still care.
September 4th, 2023 at 12:03 AM ^
People still should care, absolutely, but this has gotten almost zero media attention
September 5th, 2023 at 10:13 AM ^
To be fair it was a three if not four day holiday weekend and it was two unranked teams playing on FS1. It may generate some national news today, especially since the coach just scapegoated the university’s medical experts. The right answer from coach Tucker at yesterday’s press conference should've been, "Brown should not have re-entered the game and I take complete responsibility."

I don't care about this story but it's one extra click to embed. Click the newspaper icon with the plus sign on it and paste your Twitter link there. That's it. There's no trick.
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:07 PM ^
it actually does look more like a stinger given that he could appear to move his arm. Stingers can flare up agaun which would be why he was pulled for good, but just trying to cite MSU for doing something wrong really doesn't justify this take.
September 5th, 2023 at 8:39 AM ^
You don't get KO'ed by a stinger.
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
A little brain injury ain't never hurt nobody, rub some dirt on it and get back in there.
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
Is this like the time William Gholston got the wind knocked out of his head?
September 3rd, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
Tom Gholston never had any wind in his head.
September 3rd, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
I mentioned this in the game thread a couple days ago, but that is a “boom boom, out go the lights” hit. inflicted more than a couple. Not a stinger.
September 3rd, 2023 at 7:12 PM ^
Yeah, that blew my mind. I mean why risk it at all? Nothing is lost by being cautious and not letting him play the rest of the game.
September 3rd, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
If this is a way for msu you to get Tuck out I’m going to be pissed. I hope they keep him for as long and as much as his contract is for.
September 4th, 2023 at 3:24 PM ^
Mel Tucker scapegoated his medical staff at a Monday press conference.
