Mika Eye Injury Update

Post by byucougar1 »

A tweet from Spencer Linton:

"Hearing Eric Mika's eye injury involves scratched cornea(s). Eyes and surrounding area swelling up pretty badly. Lots of red & purple."

So messed up. Someone needs to do a screen capture of that so it can be spread across the Internet. Classless Iowa State

Twitter handle for ISU basketball is @CycloneMBB. Let 'em have it.

If you don't have a Twitter account, now's a good time to start one.

This is bad news. He will be out for the Texas game and maybe more. Very bad news.

After seeing that still shot, I feel angry enough to want that creep to be made to feel the same kind of injurious pain and anxiety about missed games. He should be declared ineligible for the entire season, perhaps even for life. He should also become a defendant in court for assault and battery. If there are significant demonstrable damages, then Mika should consider a civil suit as well. As for the NCAA, I doubt they will have the courage to throw this thug out for more than his already incurred ejection.

He didn't go for the ball at all, he aimed for the eyballs. This was beyond flagrant, this was intent to injure. The guy should get a suspension for this but probably won't.

Who would have contact suggestions for both the NCAA and ISU. Lets not just pout lets contact people.
With the flip off thing as well, hoiburg needs to be disciplined as well

What's the chance this was retaliation for the non- elbow flop by the one player? I think it was a different one than the one committing the foul.

Scratched cornea is very painful. Ever had a flash welder burn? I've had both. Excruciating. Good news is the eye is fairly quick to heal. But I imagine he may miss Tx game.

Somebody who tweets, tweet Mark Dufus Durantt and tell him his color commentary is bogus. You can hear him on one of the ksl you tube clips, after he would have seen several replays, say Kane shouldn't have been ejected. And it wasn't intentional. Good one Mark.

Scratched cornea is VERY serious. He could miss significant amounts of time.

What a thug.
