Re: Concussion Protocol

It appears that Legas had to leave the game last night due to concussion. Does anybody know if there is a protocol dictating when a player, after having left a game, can return to play? (I know he can't return during the same game.) Much as we need Legas, I hope the coaches don't bring him back too ...

Shocked he never ended up head coach at USU, for better or worse.
I was surprised as well that we didn't go after him when Stew retired. Would have, IMO, been the better choice than Duryea, but perhaps Rahe had no interest.

Re: Pro'lly guna jinx'em - NMSU up by 10 over UCONN at half time

This post will probably draw some boos but I opined, way back, when the MWC expanded and took in USU and SJSU that I would have preferred NMSU over SJSU. I think NMSU got royally screwed at the time, and said I suspected that it was due to the objections of UNM, though of course that is just specula...
