Dude needs a standing O at Spartan Stadium

He should be the first to raise the Old Brass Spittoon next weekend since he didn't get to celebrate with Bunyan.

The first time he's able to make an appearance, even if he's in a wheelchair post-op, he should be given a chance to hold Paul at the 50-yard line.

Shit we should crowdfund one of these for him (although I'm sure it would violate some NCAA fucking rule)

Jalen Watts-Jackson Tower.

If historians get all pissy about it, call it the Jalen Watts-Jackson/Beaumont Tower.

From yesterday's update I got the feeling he's going to be laid up for about 3 months. (No weight on the joints at all.)

He's an MSU hero though! Need to celebrate his effort in a big way!

Crutches for 3 months I thought.

Did you get that feeling from when someone said "It'll be 3 months"

Friend and his wife were in a motorcycle accident last year. Know it's not quite the same, but she broke her pelvis and was bedridden about 2 months

BTW, JWJ wasn't the only significant injury on that last play. A fellow co-worker and Spartan tore his achilles as he jumped out of his chair on the fumble! Shocked

lol - My daughter was convinced I was going to have a stroke.

If he's out of the hospital Saturday I say fuck the grass, bring back the Spartan Chariot and wheel him out there

First in depth JWJ story I've seen....

Dad: Watts-Jackson's injury not career-ending at MSU

The injury happened before Jalen Watts-Jackson hit the ground, when Michigan's Jake Butt yanked with all his might to keep Watts-Jackson from scoring the touchdown that stunned college football.

And shortly after Watts-Jackson arrived Saturday night at U-M Hospital as a sudden MSU football legend with a dislocated and fractured left hip, he and his family heard the two words they didn't want to hear: Bo Jackson. There initially was thought that his hip injury was similar to the one that ended Jackson's NFL career in 1991.

"But as it turned out, it wasn't the same thing -- they told us Jalen got lucky," Rick Jackson, Watts-Jackson's father, told the Free Press. "Everything's looking good after the surgery, and this isn't gonna be a career-ending injury."

Doctors reset the hip Saturday night, moments after Watts-Jackson grabbed a fumble from U-M punter Blake O'Neill and raced 38 yards for a 27-23 MSU win at the buzzer. Surgery to repair the fracture took place Sunday. Watts-Jackson is due home today in East Lansing, on crutches.

by **Giant Moose** 2015-10-19, 12:19

Awesome, glad to hear it isn't career-ending.

by **InTenSity** 2015-10-19, 15:43

I just read that JALEN WATTS-JACKSON is another 2 star recruit. I'm not sure if it matters or not, but just add that to the legacy.

by **By-Tor** 2015-10-19, 17:07

Sounds like he was a returner in the making. Kid showed great skills on that scoop and score.

by **CORNER BLITZ** 2015-10-19, 20:52

Bump. People read this board

Fuck Butt.

"He'll have to be light on it for at least a couple of months," Jackson said of the injury. "They popped the bone back in on the field, and that was a good thing. He was in a lot of pain but on the way to the hospital the ambulance hit a bump and knocked it back in place and he wasn't in pain anymore. So when we got to him that night he was actually pretty comfortable."

Lay off Bob. Your posts getting all pissy about him are worse than his posts in the first place.
