I don't know what happened to my cable feed, but I lost the Duke game, CBS is out, all my other channels working fine but the CBS is a black screen, no sound, nothing.

Is it on my end or is anyone else having the same problem?

Oh, and I got home and turned on the game just after the kid broke his leg, is it on You Tube yet? Sounds like I don't want to see it before dinner...

My UNH got taken out by Lowell last night, I can't even find college hockey on tv down here in FL, but the Bruins-Buffalo game should be on TV in a little while.

I mis-typed. It was actually in the first 13:00 minutes. Still impressive though. I'm watching it on ESPNU.

Watch #5 jump to block a shot near the bench. You'll see him land hard. Then you'll see him laying on the floor. Look at his right leg.

WARNING: It's gruesome, so if you get queasy you probably don't want to watch. The kid suffers a compound fracture.

SDF Coach Pitino said the kid as he was laying on the stretcher just chanted "win the game" over and over, as he was getting worked on.

Unbelievable.

Watched that interview. Unbelievable indeed. That kid's foot was dangling while his bone was poking out of his leg.

I just watched it, WOW. That was ugly. I should have had dinner first!

I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often though, those guys are so tall, their lower legs are so thin, and they play hard all the time. It looked like a huge side load when he landed and it just snapped. I hope they can put it back together for him, but the way it was flopping around, didn't look good.

I can't remember but did Joe Thiesman ever play again, after his leg snapped? I'm sure they have much better technology in the medical reconstruction field by now, so maybe they can put him back together and Ware can play again, but man, that was nasty!

I think they were in shock. You don't see injuries of that severity very often in any sport. The trainer was smart. He rushed over and immediately put a towel over the compound fracture to get it out of sight.
