Any word on ISM’s injury?

ISM was both the MVP of the game and the biggest dumb ass at the same time.
Permanent disability. You can't fix stupid.
Come on guys you are being a little harsh. I'm sure you didn't do some things that age you shouldn't have and probably still do 🙄. Just one of those things, if he would have stuck the landing everyone would have thought it was great.
He's done a lot of good things and I'm glad he's a hawk.

Negative for Covid, positive for youthful exuberance.
He’s young. He made a really stupid mistake, but I’m sure everyone here has made some mistakes they wish they hadn’t.
I thought Jones and Taylor made bigger boneheaded mistakes
Jones was a dumb one. Taylor probably didn’t know that rule.
Taylor's been great all year; however you'd think the specials teams coaches would've covered that scenario with him. Especially when the forecast for Saturday's game was known at least 5 days in advance.
To get back to the topic.
anyone heard new news besides him being in a boot?

The rule that if you muff a punt the opponent 8 inches in front of you can grab it?
I'm still waiting for them to send me the X-rays, and CT Scan. Based on my past medical experience, he appears to have a hurt foot/ankle
They called it a "high ankle sprain" on one of the post-game podcasts. If that's true, out for at least the Michigan game, I would presume. Either way, when the main component of your game is your speed, running on a bum ankle isn't going to be ideal.
I’d be shocked if he plays this week and I’d give it a 25% chance of playing in a bowl game.
are we discussing his DUI still or the more recent “look at me” idiocy? Never mind he easily could have been flagged the previous week for taunting as he scored (slow walked) into the end zone.
for having the talent he has, he sure does a lot of stupid things and doesn’t at all act like he’s “been there before”. I have to wonder what the locker room overall thinks of him?
Humility isn't in ISM's vocabulary, but it is what it is. He's fun to watch when he's healthy and not showboating.
I'm all for him having some fun and doing a little celebrating, but he took it a step too far on Saturday. Hope doesn't miss too much time.

I'd bet Taylor had no idea, and he pulled it off with aplomb, just wasn't a legal play but shows his athletic ability to kick that damn thing out of there. As for Jones, thats the flip side to the super aggressive way he fields punts. All season we've ALL loved finally having a return man on punts who had a set of stones for a change, and he's made countless big plays. That one cost us a shutout as the defense had STONED the Badgers all day long. ISM's injury had nothing to do with trying to make a winning play to benefit helping the team win. It was another in a long line of "Look at me " moments he's had throughout his career. That is in a totally different category of stupid then the others, just IMHO of course.....
To their credit they had covered the 'if a hurricane gusts as you drop the ball to kick it' but not the 'I don't think I have seen this play in football before' play. Fire the coaches, BF must go because if the offense had gotten a first down then that wouldn't have happened.
Taylor’s mistake barely registers as anything. Once he muffed the snap, he probably wasn’t getting the kick off, so at that point, he’s either covering the ball, getting tackled trying to run or the worst case - he tries to kick and it gets blocked. The loss of down penalty, just moved Wisconsin 5-6 yards closer to the end zone when they started their possession.
Jones has been aggressive all year - and he’s largely been commended for it. This one just didn’t work out.
I don’t have any issue with ISM doing the flip. Hopefully the injury really was just a scare.
No., it was a douche move. No class. Act like you've been there before.
After Jones's stupidity, I wouldn't be sad if I never saw him take another punt, that was beyond dumb.
100% agree, you are a prime example 👏
Doctors accidently switched his hands and feet
Your post is dumb, he's one HELL of a return man. I want him back there every time!!

Everyone in this thread that called him dumb for doing a flip has prob never done a flip
The conditions were too crappy on Saturday for anyone to even consider returning a punt. Unless the ball is bone-dry, it's best just let it roll and let the other team touch it first. Couple that with the fact that it was Wisconsin we were playing. Field position is paramount.
I may be off here, but I saw more jawing, taunting, and pushing and shoving from ISM and couple other players directed toward opponents this year then ever before. He sometimes palms the football, which is just dumb. I hope he is not exhibiting some behaviors that might be concerning to some NFL teams. I hope the younger receivers stay away from that type of behavior. He is a phenomenal athlete though.
Really? You would replace him? I don't remember a better punt returner (outside of Tim Dwight) than the one Iowa has right now.
Please let us all know when you hear anything
Edit: I see now he is not listed in the 2 deeps
