I just got back from Alpha Chi Omega's BMOC (Big Man On Campus) philanthropy event at The Trocadero downtown. It's somewhat of a pageant, in which a number of campus big-shots (in both junior and senior divisions) get to show off some talent in the hopes of winning the title of BMOC. But the biggest news of the night? Tyler Bernardini - competing for the title of Junior BMOC - came out to perform his act with a noticeable limp (I wasn't quite sure what the performance was, but it involved him rapping and being angry, I think). And then during the dance portion for the juniors, Bernardini was on crutches.
He suffered an apparent foot injury against Villanova Monday and coach Glen Miller said he was to receive an MRI Tuesday. So seeing him on crutches does not bode well for the Quakers moving forward.

He played 15 minutes in the first half of the 'Nova game with no points. That suggests something was up before the game, and he tried to play through it? Or did he hurt it during the game - 6,000 people attended and no one noticed anything during play? Coach said after the game there would be an MRI Tuesday morning - and then, no more news . . . except this BMOC thing and crutches . . .

Anyone?

With a couple minutes left in the half he was sitting on the bench, then Miller waved him to enter the game. He started off a few steps then appeared to hold his foot/ankle, waved Miller off, and sat back down. I didn't notice anything during the run of play.

Ari, Thank you for your report. At least Tyler had the good sense not to go back in and play (or continue to play) while hurt.

But didn't have the good sense to remove himself from a stupid BMOC whatever event.

Jesus H. Christ, could someone get control of this program before it spirals into oblivion. No wonder players have been missing full seasons with injuries. The schlemiels on this staff can't tell when a kid's twisted his ankle in a game.

Great comments from Sec 214.
At least you dont suck up to the coaches and players like others, especially the Tattle-Master.
