Mackey??

[timmyboy]

Anyone got an update on his condition? I tried calling him earlier but he didnt answer and i was JW if maybe someone had heard anything. from the looks of it at the end of the game, it didnt look good......... a brace/cast and crutches.

[ZachTheZip]

Heard on the radio that they don't expect him to play again for the rest of the season, if ever.

[wadscarman]

I talked to one of the players after the game and he told me ACL

Did you hear Dunn's interview with Flemming? He was all choked up when asked about the injury. His voice was cracking and everything. It just shows how much Jon means to this team. Never said what the injury was but the way he talked it will be the end of his playing career at Akron.

That sucks. Mackey was the leader of the defense.He will be missed. I hope he has a fast recovery.

I spoke with mom & dad at half-time and they informed me that john was done and it was the ACL. Too bad. Not only is a fantasticplayer on this team, but he truly is a fine young man.

[timmyboy]

thank everyone. i was able to get ahold of john himself last night and he informed me that he pretty much tore everything. he didnt go into specifics of what everything is but did say he was done for the year, but hopefully he is able to rehab and come back in time to try out for a team at the next level.

That sucks. He was the glue that held that defense together. I am sure someone will step up and knowing Mackey, he will still be a vocal leader on the sidelines and in the locker room. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

I doubt he'd want to come back for another year. He's a 5 th year senior and he'll graduate in the spring with two degrees. Remember that his shoulder is a disaster after the injury last season and now with the knee, I just don't see it happening. Who knows, maybe he'd love to come back, though. I know we'd all love it, if he could.

[RACER]

if he is a redshirt senior then your probably right. to bad he used it up.i don't think the ncaa gives to many of them out anyways.

[Beanie 4 Heisman]

Mackey is getting an MRI on his knee tomorrow and will know what is wrong for sure shortly after. After talking to him today he said he wants to get a medical redshirt if possible.

[scottditzen]

This is terrible, he is such a good player I wish him all the luck.
