Of course it will hurt . . . We'll probably only average 45 points a game instead of 49. Galdarnit! Thoughts and prayers to CI, though. Tough break, kid, but certainly not a death sentence.

He's only an OK receiver. Pretty good blocker though. Tate Casey does not excite, really. He’s only an OK receiver. Pretty good blocker though.

All else being equal, let's hope that Aaron Hernandez can step up to the task. On a side note, this also hurts because Urban wanted to use a lot of two tight end sets this year. Without Ingram, he'll have to play both Hernandez and Casey. Otherwise, he could just try sets that only Hernandez. He was a tough task for defenses because he was a mismatch.

There are surely other players and positions that would be more devastating, but you've got to feel for a kid that came back to play his senior yer and raise his NFL stock, only to get hurt in a peseason non-contact drill. Meyer said he as 1 class left to graduate. We'll be routing for him at the combines next spring. I feel bad for CI - he came back and ws a key player for a potential championship run.

He will make it, I believe in him. CI will heal, joing the combine, and be in the NFL. He will make it, I believe in him.

C'mon... this is not a tragedy. Tragedies are counted in the ranks of terrorist attacks, serial murders and child abusers. Cornelius Ingram will graduate with a diploma from the University of Florida. He will have a set of skills to succeed in any venture he pursues in life, whether that's football or not (and I'm pretty sure he'll get a good run in football somewhere, sometime.) This should not be a "don't stay in school!" scare thread. Injuries are a part of life and a part of football. You roll the dice every day. Ingram will be fine. Tragedy? C’mon… this is not a tragedy.
