Its over. Training camp today in Winnipeg Childs tore his ACL - done for season. Probably forever. Think he would have enough of rehabbing. Maybe Arkansas can get this guy a a GA job if he wants to be around football as a coach which I think he would. And he will be good at it. Great person and a great Hog. And he is an Arkansas guy! which we all know.


darvin adams of auburn is tearing it up for the Blue Bombers at camp. and another ole miss wr ja-mes logan.

I hate to hear this.  Childs has done everything short of having a miracle happen to him in having knee problems and yet every time he puts in all the hard work he get's a hard setback again.  I to hope if he wants to can get into a GA program with the Hogs and be apart of Football.  What a great Hog he was for our Program.

If I were Childs, I'd prob need to be watched for the next 72 hours.   This is beyond bad news, this is the type of thing that makes you wonder if someone has a voodoo doll of him and it's become personal.
Wow.   Just wow.

I truly wish him the best, and I hope he finds an easier time at life from here out.

So everyone one of the nationalized incidents were justified? There is no race problems with policing? If that is what you believe.....well bless your heart, it must be hard going through life with the obstacles you must have to overcome. Do they send a bus to come pick you up?

I feel bad for him. God bless this young man and comfort him. How very disappointing for him.

That said, maybe Bielema can get him a coaching job somewhere, either college or Pro. Jerry could get it done with a phone call.

Unfortunate. Hope the tables turn with Greg and he has better luck in the future.

A dominating Hog, in his prime.

Are we sure he tore his acl? I googled and the stories that came up said Achilles tendon.

That's a difficult injury to recover. I tore mine out at interstate park trying to field a overthrown ball. Stepped into a hole hidden in the manicured grass. But it healed fine in the long run on its own. Took most of a year. Stayed bruised fro several months.

Greg is 10 years younger than I was when I tore mine and a much better athlete. He'll heal up.

He'll always be the guy who beat Jawja in Jawja and that makes him a special Hog. Get well Mr. Childs.

I don't think he's tore too many ACL's previously.  I believe the vandy game then the first two times at the Vikings were patella tendon correct?  FYI ACL's are easier to recover from than patella tendons

"Childs Please"  Great kid. After that game at Georgia he took a minit coming out of the tunnel where the players exit at Ga. and signed my childs cap. As did most of the hogs that day. Good luck Mr. Childs.

I was thinking Anthony Lucas all over again as well!
If I am not mistaken Anthony is running a performance training center in LR. This was a few years ago so he may have moved on from that.

Man, sure hope we don't have anymore stud WR's wear the #85. Must be cursed. First Monk, then Childs. Before injuries, both of those guys were NFL caliber football players.

When was the last time a Hog WR went to the pros, and stuck? Outside of Richard Wilson.

Derek Russell?

Boo Williams?

Bobby Duckworth?

Jarius Wright.

Derek Russell probably had the best pro career of any former Hog WR

This is proof that life is not fair. I will continue to root for him in whatever endeavor he chooses moving forward.

Football is just a chapter in your story Childs and whether you decide to turn the page now or not, remember that your great American novel is far from finished.
If Auburn is dirty so is Gus. You can't have it both ways. Deal with it.

You got to feel for the guy. I remember the play when he first injured his knee, granted I forget the team it was against. Horrible news, but I bet he is a resilient guy. Wish the best for him. He is a great Hog ambassador.

Terrible news. Such an exciting player to watch. Prayers for a swift recovery and a new passion/direction for him.

I'm sure Greg is devastated from his injury, but the truth is 95% of the guys struggling to try to make it playing single A baseball, arena league football, junior golf tours, etc. are going to have to move on to the rest of their lives when its clear they won't be able to make a living playing sports.  For a lot of them, that is an easier transition if it happens earlier in life -- I know it will be hard for Greg to give up on what has no doubt been a life long dream, but I know he will find success in his next pursuit.

According to the Winnipeg Sun he was in the Bomber's camp when he tore his Achilles tendon and is out for the year. 

I've been there and done that.  It's usually a totally fixable injury but the rehab is lengthy.  I had a sympathetic limp extending beyond a year even when technically I was 100%.  Of course I wasn't an athlete of Greg's caliber either.

He wasn't a WR at Arkansas though.

George Wilson, but he switched to safety.

I hate to hear that about Childs.   I think he was a better receiver then many of us realize, but it's just been one problem after another since that injury against Vandy.
