Lauletta out for the season?
- Thread starter Stonewall D
- Start date
If we get an invite we should respectfully decline. We are too beat up to field a competitive play off caliber team.
This is your fault. You cheered when Schor got hurt last week for JMU. Karma is a biatch.
FRS, sure lets crap on the other players who have worked so hard for this 8-3 season. As I have said before , you are a piece of work!!!
u always say that when things go bad no matter the sport. you're a quitter. we get it.
Guys, I'm not so sure I totally disagree. I'm not sure I'd want the seniors to get smacked by the Tribe and the beaten to a pulp in a playoff game. I just don't know how our QB situation is going to be with 1 and 2 out, neither of the subs looked like they knew where they were. My feeling is take the bid and see what we can do but if we don't get a bid it may be for the best. That targeting call is going to stick in my craw for a long time. Rubin will not play in the first half of the next game... complete BS.
Injuries are part of the game, but Spiders have really been hit hard. 8-3 in the CAA is very respectable, but one can only wonder what this season might have been without so much attrition. I feel bad for the seniors have done so much for Spider football during their time.
Dudes, if we get in, we should go. That's a no brainer. This isn't the CBI we're getting invited to.
I was going to type that "Lauletta has another year you idiot", but changed my mind and tried to take the high road.
How quickly we forget 2012 when we won a share of the league and didn't get a playoff bid. Don't take this for granted.
We're going to host a playoff game next week, and we're going to win.

From the RTD:
"Rocco said Lauletta would undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury, “but it’s loose and the other ones that have been loose have been ACLs. ... I’ll say a prayer tonight and hope and pray, but I don’t anticipate anything positive coming back.”
Rocco goes onto say he doesn't anticipate Kyle will be available for playoffs

Didn't see the game... how'd it happen? Sounds like an ACL, hope he'll be OK to start next season.
Tried to juke, left, right no chance. Went down, lost the ball. As someone else said, when you go down without being touched it ain't gonna be good.
Watched on dvr many times, no contact, planted foot to cut or juke and could see knee collapse to inside.
Kyle Lauletta had a solid first half (7 of 11 for 107 yards) while staking the Spiders to the 13-6 lead and surpassing 3,000 yards in the air for the season, in addition to setting a program record for completions. But the Spiders’ chances of victory and their season took a sharp turn for the worse when he injured the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee while sliding on a run late in the first half.
Spiders coach Danny Rocco said he does not expect Lauletta to return for the rest of the season. His replacements, Jake Clise and Reid Chenault, were a combined 1-of-5 passing for 11 yards, with an interception.

At end of the game yesterday, heard his mother say to another player's mother that they didn't really know the extent of the injury. Would get test today. So all speculation is just that. Can only pray for Kyle and his family and hope he has a speedy recovery whatever the diagnosis. But Rocco and coaches have to prepare for the worst and get team prepared and in right mindset. Won't be easy, but like they're saying, "it's a new season and everyone has a record of 0-0-0." Confident that our players will leave it all on the field this coming Sat, and they deserve a great turnout and support, no matter the outcome.
Trying not to post misinformation on here or to get anyone's hopes up....but has anyone else heard it's not as bad as initially thought?
I figured such and was not expecting much. I'm talking more about long term - off-season and what not.
