Get Well, Bacarri Rambo

When you say your prayers tonight, don't forget Bacarri Rambo.  He made the play of the game with that hit, but no game is worth a player's well being.  It appeared every precaution was taken, but any time a player has those spooky rigid arms after a hit, you're reminded of the violence of the game and what these guys are risking by playing the way they do.  Get well, Bacarri.

Although not as urgent, a prayer for A.J. is warranted, too.  The last I heard was a AC joint problem.  I'd imagine he's doubtful for next weekend, but that is speculative at best.

From Georgiadogs:
Redshirt freshman safety Baccari Rambo had a concussion in the fourth quarter and was carted off the field. He was initially unconscious on the field and then regained conscious. He has movement in all extremities; he has sensation in all extremities.

Hopefully it's just a concussion and he sits out a few weeks! Thoughts and prayers with him and wishing for a complete recovery!

Yeah, I thought it was just a stinger at first cause it looked like he was moving everything but his right arm, but when it took them so long, I knew it must have been worse. Definitely best wishes and prayers for Bacarri, his family, and the team, you could tell it was tough on them to see him down for so long.
The boys were men tonight and didn't roll over after going down 14, they showed a lot of heart.

This guy is one of the best players to play for us in a very long time. We can only hope we are being careful rather than let him get hurt.

Definitely let this guy rest up and play no earlier than Ga Tech, if not wait for the bowl game.

I was proud to be a Dawg fan tonight. Bacarri's hit was a game saver. Watching this on TV, the mood in the stadium while he was down was sobering. We showed serious class tonight, both the fans and the players. The team stepped up on multiple occasions. I'm not saying that all the problems are solved, but we showed heart tonight. Down by 14 and we kept our heads up. Then, after a 10 minute delay while a teammate was carted off the field, the boys came up with two more huge stops. Best wishes to Bacarri and his family. Here's to a speedy and complete recovery. GATA Dawgs!!!

Best wishes to Rambo.

In other news Colt McCoy tied David Greene for career wins. Very impressive.

As for the Dawgs, good 2nd half--very (any?) penalties. Well done. Feels good to win.

Richt apparently said that Green's injury could keep him out up to the bowl. (via Hale)

I'm with SSI Dawg; I feel damn proud to be a bulldog tonight. The team played like men, even after facing early adversity. We actually created some turnovers. And we came through without our best player.

Here here to wishing for a speedy recovery for Baccari. Kid has one helluva future. Fast, strong, and not afraid to lay the lumber. Not to mention the best name in college football.

Dr. Harry Beaver (OB/Gyn) said...

acromioclavicular sprain is a violent overstretching of the acromio-clavicular ligaments in the shoulder where it meets the collarbone (clavicle). Sprains involving two or more ligaments cause considerably more disability than single-ligament sprains. When the ligament is overstretched, it becomes tense and gives way at its weakest point, either where it attaches to bone or within the ligament itself. 

If you have a Grade I acromioclavicular sprain, you will have slight swelling and tenderness at the outside tip of your collarbone. You will have mild pain when you move your arm or shrug your shoulder. In more severe acromioclavicular joint sprains, swelling will distort the normal contour of your joint, and the area will be very tender. You will feel significant pain when you try to move your arm or when your doctor or athletic trainer touches the joint while examining it.
If you have a Grade I shoulder sprain, your discomfort should ease within one to two weeks, and you will be able to resume normal activities as soon as you can move your shoulder through its normal range of motion without pain. If you have a Grade II sprain, your discomfort should lessen within two weeks, but it may take as long as six to eight weeks before you can return to your usual athletic activities. People with Grade III shoulder sprains often return to work within four weeks. Athletes who participate in contact sports, however, have a high risk of injuring the area again, so they often need three to five months of rehabilitation before returning to their sport.

I must say I teared up a bit when he finally raised up his arms. Glad he will be OK...it was a bit worrisome for a while.

Tech fan here - I wish Rambo the best and a speedy recovery. For two reasons though, I hope he doesn't play at Tech.

One, he's a heck of a player and I'd selfishly rather him be on the bench the whole game.

Two, more importantly, I think when you are dealing with a brain injury of seemingly that magnitude, you should sit out as long as possible. Yeah, I love the rivalry between us and y'all. But it's not worth risking serious injury to a young man with a bright future and I'd hate to see Bacarri suffer another concussion that soon after suffering a first one.

IMO he's tied for the coolest name in college football (with GT's own Omoregie Uzzi) and I wish him the best for a quick recovery, hopefully in time for whatever bowl y'all play in.

I agree with the Tech fan, personally. If there is any chance Rambo is still affected by this injury, we'll have to count on Evans.

Bacarri was BOOM MOTHER F'ER

get well.
