As a political meme, this spits on roughly half the board and provides no value. But if you change it's purpose to describe the trendline of a Spartan fan at Spartan Stadium, and with the neon green you surely can ... whoa, man. 

Then it's just brilliant.

Dantonio's comments today are in direct conflict with his postgame presser comments. He told reporters that Lewerke was checked out by trainers following the INT (one play after the hit).

If it's any consolation, they probably win that game if they pull Lewerke right after the hit and protocol him.  Or even spend thirty seconds shining a flashlight in his eyes.  Because whoever comes in the game almost definitely does not throw a completely inexplicable pick-six.  Instead they call a run play and keep the drive going.

Since this same concussion mistake thing happened in Ann Arbor, it's a great example of why MSU was able to get away with so much dirty, immoral crap over the years. When Shane Morris got concussed it was a national story. When Lewerke got concussed, I'm not sure anyone outside of Michigan or Champaign, IL have any clue it happened. That's why MSU's trash program has gotten away with all of the trash players in their program - people outside of Michigan can barely be bothered to care about them even when they're good

What a fucking joke. That's now how these things work. That's not how they work at all. The AD, coaches, and medical staff have a responsibility to keep these kids safe, and this is the exact opposite of that. MSU should be getting lambasted for this. Hopefully ESPN or a major outlet picks this up and keeps railing it.

....and didn't brian throw a pick-six on the next play? 

If so, mork's lack of oversight caused him to lose that game.  NICE job mork!!!  Truly epic, his negligence for brian's health cost them the game as if he had substituted and done the protocol, rocky could have just handed off and staee would have just punted vs. giving them a gift touchdown!!!

You only go through the concussion protocol if you actually had a concussion.  Right now, there is no solid evidence he sustained a concussion.

I am asking this legitimately, because this could all just be a huge misunderstanding:

Is the "concussion protocol" what you go through after you are diagnosed with a concussion? Or is the evaluation part of the protocol? If the evaluation is part of the protocol, then this means he was not evaluated, which would obviously be the issue.

Clearly he was not evaluated in the immediate aftermath since he never left the field after his lineman waved for the trainers while Lewerke lay motionless on the ground.

I believe the term “concussion protocol” would refer to a player that has already been diagnosed with a concussion, and subsequently placed in the protocol. The protocol consists of cognitive testing, the results of which are compared against a players’ baseline results to determine when they can be cleared to return to contact activities.
