We shouldn't sweat WKU at this point, until it becomes clear who his contenders are. I am not sweating any program because we have Jordan Goodwin. Dude is a monster recruiter.

Foreman, as far as I know, has not had any traumatic injuries during play that stopped him from playing. Different animals, it looks like. amazing you don't know Bo. Seems like pivotal scene in a spy thriller exposing you. But all kidding aside my original ? is is the same type medical thing as Bo had. Google his name and then get back to us.

Also, I have no idea about the timing of that announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 13 hours ago, DeSmetBilliken said: Really??? Bo Jackson was a great football and baseball player in the late 80s/early 90s. Incredible talent in both sports, but it all came crashing down when he sustained a terrible hip injury in the playoffs with the LA Raiders. Ended his football career, and effectively ended his baseball career. If I remember his hip injury was a result of some genetic issue he had. You are correct he was a spectacular athlete.

The hip dislocation itself is what happened on the field, but it isn't what forced Jackson into retirement. That would be a bone disease called avascular necrosis (AVN), which happens when blood supply to the bone is disrupted, as it was with Jackson. From there, the ball of his hip literally died and needed to be replaced. Pulled that from a deadspin article, I can't vouch for its veracity. But it appears that Bo know's AVN.

Macallan 18 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 For those of you too young to remember Bo Jackson watch the ESPN 30 For 30 on him. I think you can get it on Netflix. Ridiculous athlete cut short too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppybeer, whoever wrote this piece does not have much understanding of disease. The trauma in Bo's case most likely caused significant traumatic disruption to the vascular supply of the hip which then developed osteonecrosis. This was a rapid process, traumatic vascular compromise to a joint. AVN is a genetic disorder that progresses slowly. It is true that if you have AVN and then suffer trauma to a hip the vascular supply to the hip is cut down even more than what it had been and things could happen much faster and with much more permanent damage.. Foreman has no known history of trauma and for all we know his process has been slowly progressive. In classical AVN the ball of the femoral head does not die, it deforms to a flatter shape that can be supplied adequately with the diminished vascular supply available. Of course the flat shape of the femoral head limits motion and causes pain. Can any one document severe trauma to Foreman's hip during play?
