Gameday Thread---ISU vs. St. Louis

You do realize that sprain = ligament damage (severity ranging from stretching, tearing, or rupturing), right?

No.... actually a sprain does not = a torn or ruptured ligament. They call that a torn ligament. When I blew my knee out, they called the ligaments torn, not sprained.

You do realize there is a huge, huge difference between a sprained knee (which he came back from in 2 weeks) and a torn ACL, MCL, or PCL right?

What about LCL? :wink:

Perhaps you should educate yourself...

Sprain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sprain (from Middle French espraindre - to wring) is an injury to ligaments that is caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. A muscular tear caused in the same manner is referred to as a strain. In cases where either ligament or muscle tissue is torn, immobilization and surgical repair may be necessary.
Although some signs and symptoms can be used to assess the severity of a sprain, the most definitive method is with the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Sprains are graded in six degrees.

  • The first degree is only a minor tear or stretch of a ligament.
  • The second degree is a tear of a ligament, which is usually followed by pain or swelling
  • The third degree is a complete rupture.
  • The fourth degree breaks the ligament, along with some small bones if severe enough, and requires surgery to repair.
  • The fifth degree tears all the ligaments and actually breaks all the surrounding bones; sometimes cannot be repaired and results in amputation.
  • The sixth degree breaks the foot, and results in amputation straight away
I should know - I've torn virtually every single ligament in my right ankle and it's always been classified as a SPRAIN...
 
So, who is "cyclones," the guy that went smack-talking on that Billikens board?

Why the hell would anyone go and trash talk freaking Billiken fans?
 
and hint is cyclones used bunnies so narrow it down the the people that use bunnies on here.

Apparently me, my middle school coach, said poster, and whoever media personalities used it are the only person who have ever said bunnies. My God if I had a dollar for every time my middle school coach yelled at me for missing a bunny, we'd have a south endzone. Twice. :yes:

You were probably hunting for stew meat. Of course he was mad for missing.
