Something in the water? Injuries in SCC. . . . - cardcrimson - 09-02-2026
The injury report for Stanford looks dismal for the Miami game, and we've seen a ton of injuries over the last few years. Similarly, the Niners have ranked in the top 10 for games lost to injuries in 12 of the last 13 seasons. What the heck is going on the Santa Clara County?

How close is the practice field to a electric station?

Brutal, just brutal.
I'm not privy to seeing or knowing what's going on in practices and training, but of course immediately think of S&C.
Again, not aware of details, but I would be interested to know how much of the "C" of that includes meaningful and serious (not token) stretching.
I've seen in sports before where strength is overemphasized compared to flexibility.
I think this is more likely to lead to muscle/ligament/soft tissue injuries when muscles tightened from strengthening, but not kept loose and elastic enough from serious stretching, are put into contorted positions, inevitable in many sports especially football.
Then you get a muscle tear. And you're out.
Again, I don't know if that is what is going on here, not implying that it is, not even sure how many injuries are muscle tear related.
But I've seen it happen elsewhere and in other sports too, baseball and swimming for example.
Football dudes might not wanna consider it, but I'm talking serious stretching such as done in pilates, ballet, yoga.
Let me put it another way: 10 minutes stretching may be as, or more, important than 10 min lifting.

Gawd...Kilstrom, Mejia, Fattig, Pale, Prongos...3 definite starters, 1 probable and 1 maybe out vs #7 team with a QB we should have recruited...I don't think you can blame this all on the football Gods. Can we score 14 points, let alone 21?

Some of those injuries are soft tissue injuries. Others are impact injuries that are less readily mitigated by stretching and strengthening muscles. The when/how of these injuries should be looked at before we start drawing any conclusions other than a lot of talent will be sidelined on Friday.

Agree...still po'd. Wasn't attempting to throw shade.

Ran track in HS, coached by one of SJSU's "Speed City" sprinters -- not Carlos or Smith, but was on the 4x100 relay team with them. We stretched for 20 minutes every day, never had an injury in track. Played volleyball in college, stretched 20 minutes a day, and VB is a sport with numerous joint injuries...never had one. Played football and basketball in HS, stretched for five minutes a day...many injuries, both sports.
I think there's something to it.
