BBTV Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Footage of Villanova guard Alan Ray's eye injury.As was reported on ESPN, his eye appears to actually come out of his head. It is simply a miracle that he is able to see, let alone play again.Warning: this is possibly the most disturbing sports injury I've ever seen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCP--ZGcYXY&eurl= "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

The_Admiral Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Malarchuk's was worse. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well they are both horrible and made me sick to my stomach. Malarchuck's may have been worse because he actually nearly died, but Ray's was unlike anything that you may ever see in your lifetime.

BBTV Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 What I want to know is:How did he not lose his eye? Is it connected to something and "snapped" back into place after being temporarily dislodged? Honestly, how was it not rolling on the floor?

illinirox1 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Malarchuk's was WAY worse, but I can't imagine having to grab my eye as it came out of my head either. Put Your Hands up For Detroit (our lovely city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 What I want to know is:How did he not lose his eye? Is it connected to something and "snapped" back into place after being temporarily dislodged? Honestly, how was it not rolling on the floor? What happened to his eye, was when Krauser went for the ball and missed, he caught Ray around his upper eyelid. The force of the collision drove the eyelid back and behind the eyeball, causing it to protrude.The eyes are attached to the rest of the body like any other organ. There are nerves, arteries and veins running from the eye back into the rest of the body, and the eye is kept in place by several small muscles that turn the eye so we can look in different directions. (They're not like grapes you could scoop out with a spoon, if that's what people were thinking.) Some people can distend their eyeballs intentionally, and people with overactive thyroids have their eyes protrude in a similar way.Once the swelling from the injury went down, doctors were able to reposition the eyelid where it belongs, and the eye fell back into its place in the orbit.On the injury scale, it's below Clint Malarchuk and Theismann, but not by too much. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I was waiting for the Doc to chime in!Actually, right before you posted I read an article on Philly.com that mentioned that it was "only" the eyelid going behind the eyeball. I didn't realize how much eyeballs were secured to your head. I guess that scene from Casino where the guy's eyeball poped out of his head when it was in the vice gave me the wrong impression.

andrewharrington Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Watching Alabama wide receiver Tyrone Prothro's broken leg flop around on slow-motion replay was pretty gross. I hate this stuff.

VitaminD Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Actually, right before you posted I read an article on Philly.com that mentioned that it was "only" the eyelid going behind the eyeball . I didn't realize how much eyeballs were secured to your head.Yeah... if that's your definition of "only". I read that too. If that happened to me, and someone dismissed it as "only my eyelid wedged behind my eyeball", I might try and poke their lid behind their eyeball...I guess that scene from Casino where the guy's eyeball popped out of his head when it was in the vice gave me the wrong impression.Hard to say, and I am not volunteering to find out. I guess theoretically you could generate enough intracranial pressure to pop the eyes out like champagne corks, but I don't know if you could do it with a vise alone. Either way, it makes for great cinema. We should get the Mythbusters on this one... "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it...

sc49erfan15 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yeesh. I'm glad he's okay. I've actually wondered how things like this don't happen more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Regardless, (not irregardless, that is not a word and I hate it when people say it) I will be at CBP on Friday rooting on Ray and his eyeballs in the first round. Unless of course I can score tome tix. Then I'll be next door at the FU checking out his eye in person.
