Irby sustains season-ending knee injury

[goosehorn]

I seriously think that would have killed me.

What a total class act. I bet he came up with that too, and it wasn't written up by a coach or SID.

I was kind of thinking that in the presser they would have diffused whether the hit was illegal. To not say anything leads me to believe they might have thought it was shady. OR if Irby chose not too because he is such a high road type that is all f'in class, which he obviously is...

Great kid, hope he gets better quick and 100%! See him on the field next year!

Is the rule on medical redshirts that a player have played less that 20% of the season? I seem to recall that there is a certain % that a player cannot play beyond. If 20% is the rule, then Blaine should get a medical RS, no?

Irby gave himself the best advice. Day at a time and patience. Best wishes to a great Longhorn.

Proud to have Irby on our team. He will come back better than ever someday, just like Ship. Mark it down.

Three more years of Blaine Irby - I'll drink to that. What a fine young man.

We will miss you Blaine - get well soon

I felt really bad for the dude last night. His face grimmacing, you could just tell that he knew his season was over and he must have been in some excruciating pain. I hope he can make a complete recovery.

As someone who has had a major knee injury/surgery, I literally felt sick and had to walk out of the room after seeing it on TV.

Talk heavens for the wonders that modern medicine can do.

Blaine Irby: Great Longhorn, Better Person!

Get well soon

When you recruit class you get class.

Speedy recovery.

That's tough to see. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery. Seems like a good young man.
