Marcus Lattimore Retiring?

SIAP. It looks like it may be over before it begins for Lattimore. Much respect to #21. Maybe he can go back to SCjr and get his degree. Best of luck in the future, whatever that future may be.

His leg getting mangled a few years ago was about the most sickening thing I have ever seen. I screamed out loud when it happened.

Hope he makes it good somewhere at something.

 

That sucks. He's a good guy on top of having a ton of raw talent.

 

Yeah that shit was nasty and I've never watched it again. I can remember three injuries that made me sick to my stomach: Lattimore, Theisman, and Prothro

 

Should sue the NCAA.

 

I had a Theisman type injury happen right in front of me when I was coaching against Seymour in '98ish. It was one of their players. It took me a few seconds to gather myself before I could go try to help the kid.


Best of luck to Lattimore.

 

Call me a [itch bay] but when I see limbs flopping around uncontrollably I have to look away.

 

I call that normal.

 

Seeing brains coming out of someone's head is worse.

 

I didn't particularly like the hit Eric Gordon gave Lattimore, either, with him going at the knees of a guy wrapped up by a defender. Maybe that's not fair of me, though.

 

Lathers got a hold of him a split second before he made that hit.

 

Sounds like story time.

 

Speech! Speech!

 

I don't remember it looking intentional

 

Former firefighter. Car wrecks. Saw some nasty stuff. That's about it. Sorry to disappoint.

 

came here to post this.

 

My best friend is a firefighter. I've heard some gruesome stories. I've also heard some funny ones.

 

Car vs train can be ghastly.

 

Heard some of these stories on our alumni trip in Italy. Guy on the trip was a firefighter. Pretty nasty stuff. Worst one involved a drugged up fat lady and a lot of feces.

 

You just ruined my breakfast.

The one that caused me to walk away wasn't gory. It was heartbreaking and enraging.
