re: Mike Leach in critical condition, unknown medical event.

There's a pirate ship in the stadium. I think Leach would want State to play. In 2020, we went to Georgia with like 37 players and lost by one TD. He'd want State to play.

There needs to be a permanent place for piracy in MSU fandom.

He’s not brain dead, as others have indicated on social media. The football coach was found on the sofa, unresponsive, after what some think was 10-15 minutes. EMTs showed up and did their jobs. Doctors then worked all day Sunday to sedate Leach, stabilize him, and are now beginning to assess his condition.

Does it sound bad?

Very much so. But as one member of his inner circle said: “He’s still with us.”

God let this man pull through. Nothing i would love more than to hear leach say to all the early reporters "you cant kill me that easy, im still here" lets go leach! Prayers up

thinks it's reasonable to give a few days if brainstem function is still intact. I have several pt's that were declared "brain dead" by neurology due to lack of organized brain activity on EEG. Lucky for them, I refused to sign off without giving them a fighting chance. One sat up and requested coffee two days later. I had the administrator that tried to temporarily suspend my privileges to take her off the vent serve it to her.


I said similar earlier in the thread. Should never pull the plug immediately. Give it a week or two then do it if no signs of improvement

Similar thing happened to my uncle. Heart attack driving, was several minutes before EMS arrived and started CPR. Got a heartbeat back and was determined "brain dead" by 4 different neurologists at the hospital. My cousin held out for 2 weeks and finally agreed to pull the plug, at which point my uncle started showing signs of response. 2 days later he was sitting up asking for a Dr. Pepper (his favorite drink).

Give 'em hell, Pirate!

Honestly idk as a player how they can get themselves motivated to play and not grieve. If they do play I know I’ll be rooting for them.

Leach would want them to play. Pirates never give up; they die game.

Events like this are different. This is stuff that makes you think about your priorities in life. Those kids have to be thinking the same thing. You gotta think those kids are going through it as much as the family is, and the info those kids are getting is through Twitter or on some message board. You know they are seeing people troll the situation which doesn’t help. They are seeing these unofficial reports out there. That has to be getting to a lot of those players. So I doubt they play. There’s more to life than just a game with an egg shaped ball.

I hope we can find some way to honor him properly.

The Pirate lived like he was dying, we should all do the same. Mucho respect and sincere condolences to the Leach & MSU athletics family.
