Just like Grandpa!

Research has show there may be prolonged effects of concussion in youth athletes, and this college freshman is still experiencng effects of concussions sustained in high school:
"Matt... suffered two concussions while playing high-school football. Now a freshman in college, he is still affected by the injuries. "My friends always laugh when I say my memory is not what it used to be... but it's kind of sad because that's the sort of thing my grandpa says, and he's 90 years old."

When you see pro athletes having lower thresholds following their umpteenth concussion, you have to feel for a concussed college athlete trying to make the pros.
