Is Kask hurt?
- Thread starter aklilly
- Start date
Dunno. Maybe ask Cal. Or Casy.
Does the "Redshirt" poster designation go away when 5 for 5 is passed?
Kasak was hurt at the US Open. It looked to be head related, that's for sure. He fought through it for a couple of matches but later had to MFF out of the tournament. There is no update since, beyond the fact that he did not compete at the World Team Trials last week.
There. That's not so hard is it? Unclear about the defcon 5 riot act that goes on here when a kid is injured. It's every bit as unnecessary as trolling calling Kasak "Kask"
Oh my god, Efejle! I cannot BELIEVE you just said defcon 5!! DEFCON 5 is “DEFCON 5 (least severe, normal peacetime readiness)”, which is the OPPOSITE of what you needed!!There.

Yeah, the eye test on Duke, for me, is he is thick, shoulders and arms especially.
Will have to check with cstroke to confirm this.
Where did he say that? I'm genuinely asking. It's possible I missed it. But, his quote after nationals about it was:
"I'm not 100% [sure], honestly," Duke said. "I started to figure out things [with weight management] a lot better towards the end of the season. And, I felt great. So, not 100 percent. But, we'll see."
Granted, it certainly doesn't sound good for him making it. But, at least in that quote, he did not outright say he cannot make it.
I suspect you won't get a valid/reliable answer to this question.
But I am a long time member of this board and I demand it.................!!!!!!!!!!!! I added extra punctuation.
Clearly I am not serious.
The staff will figure it out. I am taking a nap.
My daughter had two serious ones. The first one was during skating practice in middle school, fell and was knocked out cold for 5 seconds or so. Then, she concussed herself hitting her head GETTING INTO OUR CAR, after a huge volleyball win. The advice on how to handle concussions had l evolved quite a bit in that short time. After her first one, they did testing at Children’s in DC and were able to compare that to her results after the second one. She’s fine today, just finished her first year in her OT Masters program (mom brag 
I believe Smalls was the first to say that Duke was likely only doing 1 season at 157 when he comitted to Penn State.
He has never said anything about never going 157 again. The cut to 157 for him this past season was brutal at times, and he did as noted in this thread acknowledge the cut was rather difficult until he learned to manage it.
If 5 in 5 is passed expect James at 157, Mitchell at 165 and best man standing at 174 (Duke, Henckel, Cunningham).
She may have book knowledge in being OT, but we on this board have practical experience! Let us know if she needs an internship.

Is your daughter studying Occupational Therapy? If yes, with her concussion issues I strongly recommend that she avoid working with severly austic children. My daughter is an OT, worked at a school for severly austic children (which is up to 21 years old). One day, one of the students grabbed her by the head and head butted her. Result, severe concussion, out of work for seven months. The concussion actually changed her eye glass perscription. She finally turned the corner when she saw a physical therapist who specializes in the eyes (didn't know their was such a thing). She still works with kids, however no kid who can reach her head because she truly cannot suffer another concussion. If your daughter has had concussion issues, she needs to beware of who she is working with.My daughter had two serious ones.

This school paid extremely well, it was essentially hazardous duty pay, constantly hit, kicked, etc. God bless people who care for the severly disabled.
My daughter,who was a tremendous highschool athlete suffered 3 bad concussions by her sophomore year. Her last one was when she was starting goalie for varsity and got kneeled in head at practice. Doctors recommended that she give up all contact sports. I bought her a tennis racket and she ended up becoming number 1 on tennis team and took a silver her senior year in district doubles. She was offered a small scholarship at West Chester. She had to step away from tennis in college because of the recurring headaches. Graduated from West Chester , worked 2 years in criminal justice and decided to go to to Penn State to get her law degree,which she did.
It was a difficult time, especially having to give up sports which she loved . She still has side effects from the concussions on occasion.
I'm quite proud of her.

Wait, we have women in our midst?
Some of our language might not be suitable for "mixed company". Sonafa...
Spoiler alert! We know who Psalm 1 is now. Congrats brother!Dad brag: My daughter just received her PhD in Chemistry from Baylor.
I'm on the autism spectrum myself. I am high-functioning (what used to be referred as Asperger's), but I have a nephew and cousin who are low functioning, who live in facilities as they are not able to live on their own. Both of them originally went to the facilities because they were physically abusing their mothers. My sister-in-law (mother of my nephew) is also the principal at a K-12 autism school; they can't pay educators well because they have to have a lot of safety/security officers around. Yes, many ASD people act out in physical violence.
Thank you for the advice! She was a gerontology major and thought she wanted to work with seniors. However, the program has shown her what a wide array of options there are so she is looking into different populations as well.
Congratulations! The green robe may be a giveaway. Is “Chemistry from Baylor” a cover story for “Potions from Hogwarts, Slytherin House”?Dad brag: My daughter just received her PhD in Chemistry from Baylor.
As a father of a 14yr old daughter, I need to see things like this. My daughter is a straight A honors student and a great hockey player, but otherwise wife and I have been tried by her in ways we never could have imagined. Every single issue that you have heard of regarding teenage girls, she's been there and done that. She's 10000x the effort and frustration that our boys are, combined. My wife keeps telling me that she'll (likely) be the first to provide us a grandkid so I need to be easy on her.
