In light of my posting from Friday May 31st (NCAA NEWS!!) here are my views on the pros and cons of face masks. I think that the players and coaches have a valid point about the fact that HAVING full-face shields in a way encourages more high-sticking and interference. I know that many players complain about the full cage-like masks that block some of their vision. The alternative is the full plexiglass-shield which also becomes very hot. I would be in favor of having a half-shield mask, but wonder how many injuries would result from the force of habit that has already begun. (the high-sticking, etc) I would hate to see any players get injured in the transition period. It really is quite the dilemma! Well...comments anyone? Other opinions? WAKE UP everyone!!! *:-) --Carol GO Gophers!!!
