Ryan Lynskey just posted this on his Instagram page. He states in his caption,

"They say to leave the game before the game leaves you, but I don't think the game will ever leave me. While I struggle to make sense of why this has happened, I realize how lucky I am to love something so much that it hurts this badly to have it taken from me. I don't know if I'll ever lace up my cleats and strap on my pads again, but if this is where my journey ends, I will forever be grateful I got to end it alongside my brothers. Maybe the point of it all wasn't to become a man who doesn't fall, but a man who always finds a reason to stand back up. Thank you Bates Football, you have changed my life. 4 out ✌️#344"

If this is it for him, he made an unmistakable impact on the NESCAC and Bates football. Best of luck to him. Pretty emotional post, really feel for him. I hope this isn't it for him.

We were fortunate to have Ryan as a guest on our podcast. Very impressive and a stand-up guy (as are all of the student-athletes we have as guests on the show). Feel really bad for him. Like Johansen, sounds like another guy who's great career will be cut short by injury. We're sure that whatever he does post UBates, he'll be a success. Good luck to him and congratulations on his accomplishments both on and off the field.

I've watched a lot of games this season (retired.) Wesleyan and Trinity are a cut above, players, coaching, schemes. Tufts has talent; they could upset some teams. Agree on Williams: they can pound it, impressed with interior offensive line and RB-  but another 5-4 or 6-3 season is what they are. The kid who came in cold last year and threw TDs v Bates and i think Wesleyan has graduated so they are stuck. Amherst looks strong. They're well coached and could be a surprise - they play hard. The Maine schools- better luck next year.
