  • Rennie

    Just heard from a source, not sure how reliable this is, but Rennie has a torn Achilles. If this is true, that is not good. Anyone else heard anything?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.


    Damn that would suck beyond belief. I hope your source is wrong.

    I am not sure you can play with a torn achilles? and if not then he would not have been able to play on saturday. Maybe it is just strained?

      Yes- heard that but not how bad it was. It would be a shame to loose him but #14 will be fine.

        No way you can play on a torn one. I feel bad for him if his season is over. Let's just wait and see what the official word is before we go freaking out, though.
        EVER LOYAL.

          After all the heat he's taken, followed by his incredible growth from this time last year, that would be a devastating blow for this kid

            I am praying for an ankle sprain - not so much if Rennie can return or not this season. That really is secondary. I just don't wish that type of prospective surgery/rehab on anyone. He has to walk on that ankle for the next 50-60 years.

              If this is true I feel terrible for Tirrell, he is just a great all around person.

              I am excited to see Jared Lanpher play though.

                If this is the case....the QB debate will be really interesting going into next year.

                Lanpher will have pretty good PT going into spring ball, and if he plays well he will win a lot of the players and fans (and I"m sure coaches) over. Kollmorgen, if he is as good as I think he is (or at least looked in HS) will get looks too.


                This could be Grace or Davis....or Davis or Rennie....all over again with the "This QB has experience and has been here longer" debate - almost identical to the past couple times we have had to get a new QB.

                Either way we will have a 3 year full time starter (4 years starting overall) or a 4 year starter by the time they are a senior....wow.



                On topic though - I hope that Rennie is okay. A torn Achilles goes beyond football - like Trapped stated.

                  I really wonder if this is the case however, because they showed him on the sideline, and he didn't seem to be in pain. A torn Achilles is probably one of the most painful injuries.

                    you really cant walk on a ruptured achilles, but there could be a slight tear.

                      Re: Rennie

                      If it's completely torn then he probably won't be able to walk without a boot for about 6-8 months at the LEAST, following surgery. At least that was the diagnosis my father got a few years ago when he torn his.

                        If it's completely torn, there's a high chance he wouldn't have been able to feel a thing. The one Achilles tear I've seen was a complete and total tear and the guy let us feel it. He couldn't feel anything at all. Obviously I'm not sure if this is the case currently but just from an experience...

                          It is not torn. He does have a bum ankle, and is questionable for this weekend. He also is having problems with his thumb on his throwing hand.

                          We're a bruised/banged up football team right now.
                          "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                            If Rennie's ankle isn't at least 80% (and I don't think it will be), personally I think they should start Lanpher. Especially if TR's throwing hand is banged up as well.

                              Amen. I'd be interested to see how the offensive line does with Lanpher starting.
