I love watching those three linebackers play. If it is going to hurt his draft status, I hope he doesn't play in the bowl game. He has nothing left to prove to us. Great Buckeye all the way.

though there is hardly anything positive that can be spun from carpenter's injury, at least laurinaitis and possibly one or two more linebackers will get some experience in another crucial game before next year. i wish that those players could get experience another way, however. it was very disconcerting to see carpenter so emotionally distraught when he returned to the sidelines. carp would have surely brought hell and its fury to henne.

Damn shame to see Carp miss all but one snap of his last scUM game. Carp is a first class kid and he will go on the first day of the draft. No doubt about it.
But this game had to mean so much to him. I feel for him. In a few years, when he comes in as an honorary captain, maybe it will be at the outhouse where his pregame speech will propel the Bucks to yey another win over the weasels.

Carp, on crutches, WITH SHOULDER PADS ON, cheering his guys on late in the game. What heart, what a warrior.

Fibula Fractures
The fibula runs parallel to the tibia on the outside of the lower leg, but is smaller. The fibula usually fractures at the same time as the tibia. When only the fibula fractures, it is usually because of a direct blow to the side of the leg or an extreme sideways bend at the ankle or knee.
When only a fibula fractures, it usually does not cause long-term complications. Rarely, when the segments of broken bone are separated significantly by the injury, one of the nerves to the foot may be injured, causing foot drop, a condition in which the foot hangs limp at the ankle and drags on the ground during walking.

The average healing time for this fracture is 4 to 6 weeks.

he "might" be back for the bowl game... might not. depends on the bowl we get invited to. depends on carps heal time. depends on whether or not he is to damn bullheaded to admit he isn't ready to play. i would say he shouldn't play in the bowl game. just not going to be enough time for it to heal. though if it were me... id play  . but im not very smart so...

Carp wasn't concerned about his future in the NFL, pain, or anything...just the team. He was advised to sit and refused.
After the season is over, maybe some more info will be revealed about the extent of his injuries this season, but give a toast to a true Buckeye tonight.

You could tell at times, when he would limp off the field, and when he was cruisin around the end, It was just sad to see him not be able to be on the field and finish his career off on this win.
I just hope he will be ok come bowl game. |

I believe it was you who hinted to a bigger injury for Carp earlier this year. I'm not really surprised he played through a serious injury considering some of the stories his dad shared about the violence in their house with the three boys.
I hope he takes the proper amount of time to heal for his career and not risk his future for a bowl game.
