OK I am not too about the rules here so I need a little help... Can we send Prothro and Closner out to mid-field to be captians of the game Saturday, or do they have to be active players? I was thinking that for the last home game of the season, these guys should have the honor. Also, it should bode well with our fans and the players should get a rise out of this. Just curious...I think it would be an awesome idea.
It's a nice thought, but I can't see it happening. I'm sure it'll be Seniors, probably along the lines of Croyle, Roach, Ryans, Pep... Closner just had surgery Tues. afternoon...so I doubt he'll even be at the game. FWIW, captains will be announced tomorrow on the University's athletic site.
If he has been released--and should be by then, then he will be at the game. I broke my leg 2 years ago EXACTLY like Prothro did but on the basketball court. If im him, NOTHING could keep me out of BD. I think he feels that way also.
The biggest reason I have *some* doubt he'll make it is I don't think he's scheduled to be released until Friday Afternoon. I'll check on that later on today and see if I can get more detail. The good thing about his chances to be at the game is the surgery was in B-ham, not T-town.
