I was an Athletic Trainer in high school and for a year at TCU. That doesn't make me an expert, but I do have a basic understanding of athletic injuries, how they happen, and how they're overcome and healed.

And that background causes me to wonder, "How in the heck does TCUFB have so many injuries that impede player development?" It seems "...when we get everyone back" is the most-used adverbial clause of all time in the Athletic Department. I'm no longer very close to it, so I'm asking, does anyone have an answer (as opposed to an opinion) as to why FB seems constantly just a few injuries short of greatness?

Bama sat 20 players for their spring game as precaution. May be what is going on here too.

Very well could be...and I hope that's the case in the Spring. But "it seems" (I use quotation marks because I've not counted the numbers exactly) we have an above-average number of guys on the injured list year-round. But then, maybe I'm 'way off...
