Dr. Mark Triffon
The Buckeye50 Yard Line is achieving what we believe to be a first within the online, Internet websites (either free or for fee) that follow college football: our own, practicing, licensed sports doctor to give you the REAL details of an injury, what is involved, likely loss of playing time/healing factors and anything else you care to write to him about.
Only at the Buckeye 50 Yard Line will you be able to get correct, current medical information on injury conditions, realistic recovery time and limitations. While HIPAA regulations prohibit him from discussing a particular player or commenting specifically on a player’s exact condition, we will no longer have to wait and guess what effects a certain injury would have over the course of the season, or how bad Craig Krenzel’s elbow injury could actually have been. Now we will know!
