Is Barolle inured or what?

Is Barolle inured or what?

I don't know the severity of it and I only watched on the webcast last night.  Barolle went down untouched, which is not his character at all.  He was cutting to his right off his left leg, pulled up and slid.  When you see guys go down like that, it never seems good. Needless to say, he did not return to the game.  I hope it is not severe and wish him the best on a quick recovery.

AJ Saucedo played a great game last night, both before and after Barolle's injury.  He has been a great counter-punch out to Barolle.  Much more straightforward runner.  Senior.  Just two seasons ago, he was TLU's leading rusher and an all-SCAC first teamer, if my memory is serving me correctly.

Thanks for the info. I tweeted at TLU and they didn't respond. I hope he recovers quickly!

I doubt TLU will respond.  I can never recall an instance where the athletic department announced an injury.  In any sport.  I recall the radio telecast giving updates about injuries but those are always the following week.  I would guess that Coach Padron will probably discuss in his weekly interview.

Before he left last night's game, Barolle had one of his leaping over the defenders touchdown.  He is an electric talent.  Fun to watch.

Also want to say that the TLU defense played great last night.  Their best game of the season thus far.  TLU also cut down on the turnovers.  Overall, the Bulldog's best effort of the season.

And really, they can't respond. HIPAA forbids any medical specifics to be disclosed. Student-athletes sign a waiver but it really only pertains to disclosing medical information to the NCAA and the college/University itself. Obviously, things are a little different at the D1 level, where they include the media in those waivers, but at the D3 level it only covers schools/conferences/and any NCAA committees.

Well, there's some discussion about HIPAA. The coaches and SID are not the people providing health care to student-athletes and my understanding is that while they may conveniently hide behind HIPAA, they are not bound by its provisions.

TLU defense did play better..Trent White had a solid game and Saucedo stepped up. Not as sloppy as last week and it's too bad we weren't sharper vs HSU where we didn't play well and were still in position to win and probably should have. But, TLU responded well and now face a confident SAGU team with a strong running game. NAIA vs NCAA...TLU needs to make a statement as does Whitewater on Thursday. Coaching staff at TLU will have them ready.

I think you are right but a murky area of the law.  Still, with the minimal media interest and the fact that D3 student-athletes are not financial boons for the university (or gambling), a D3 program deciding not disclose medical issues with their student-athletes is entirely reasonable, HIPAA or not. I understand that many D3 schools start football programs for the increase in enrollment and, in turn, tuition.  I also realize that in some instances that is profitable for the university but I am skeptical that is the case in a majority of situations, if any.

All I was asking was if he left the game for an apparent injury. Nobody responded, but nobody responded to me from UMHB either when I noticed their starting LT was on the sideline with no pads.

SAGU is definitely better than I expected. It'll be interesting to see how they handle a high powered offensive team like TLU. They have a pretty solid defense, and their QB to TE combo is pretty darned good. AC had absolutely no luck running against them, and this is with a guy (Madison Ross) who is averaging 198.5 yards against the two other teams AC has played this year. They held him to 62 yards on 20 carries.

Well, it's also a strategy concern. I wrote a weekly wrestling column for a few years, and one week, I asked a coach if a wrestler was going to be in action that week for a big match. He told me yes, so I put that in the column, which ran the morning of the match. That night, he doesn't wrestle, and I ask the coach about it. Turns out they had known all week that he wasn't going to go, but he didn't tell me because he didn't want the info in my article to get to the coaching staff of the Iowa State Cyclones, which would apparently allow them to make some strategic adjustment before the match.

Very true, especially with a player as good as Barolle is, it does TLU no favors to tell their next opponent whether he is going to play or not.

Another aspect that I would imagine comes into effect is that the teams really don't know the extent of the injury during the game. I can't believe many D3 programs are going to have the medical equipment on hand to absolutely know what happened until they can go to a hospital. Even when they do know since D3 doesn't have ESPN banging on doors to find answers, the information has no way of getting out.

SAGU is feeling very confident right now and will give TLU their best shot, no doubt.  They have recently had good players in certain positions but just not across the board.  I believe they are much better at more positions than they have been.  TLU won't look past SAGU because they can't afford to and the coaching staff will be sure to keep them focused on the task at hand.  Hardin-Simmons was a wake up call and I think there was a good deal of improvement this past week.  Can't afford to take a step back.

Great recognition of the TLU offensive line in this week's D3 Football Team of the Week.  Well deserved.
