NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma Sooners running back DeMarco Murray will have surgery to repair a partial rupture of his left hamstring tendon and will not play in the FedEx BCS National Championship Game against the Florida Gators on Jan. 8.

Murray, the Sooners' second-leading rusher, was injured on the opening kickoff of the Big 12 championship game on Dec. 6. The Sooners initially believed Murray had suffered a bruise, but an MRI exam revealed the injury to be more serious. Surgery has been scheduled for Dec. 22, the university said.

The school said that according to head trainer Scott Anderson, it will be about five months before Murray is cleared to resume training.

Murray gained 1,002 yards rushing this season, just eight fewer than team rushing leader Chris Brown. He led the Sooners in all-purpose yards with 2,171, with 395 receiving yards and another 774 yards in kickoff returns, scoring 18 touchdowns.

"Obviously we're very disappointed for DeMarco," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "He has been an important part of our success this year and we will miss his contributions. DeMarco has had an incredible year. "

"With Chris Brown and Mossis Madu, we still have two very fine backs. Our team has a lot of confidence in their abilities."

Hey big guy, there is a sticky already devoted to this just a little ways up on the page...

[My Opinion Matters]

I think the entire front page should be comprised entirely of threads pertaining to Demarco Murray's status against Florida.

[The Maestro]

Let's start an over/under on threads about it that will be started. I think three so far. I will say the over/under is 8. Takers?

Also, when will the last one be started about it. I will set the date at 12/18 at 3 p.m. CST as the over/under.

I hope Madu has a big game, this is his chance to shine.

Hey big guy, there is a sticky already devoted to this just a little ways up on the page...

I ignore the stickies because they are usually just BS information about rankings, trophies or game information, and rarely are used for discussion about breaking news.
Also, when you have 5 or 6 stickies at the top of the page, the importance of the sticky is minimized adding to them being overlooked.

By making it a sticky others will post the same information because they'll scroll the page and see nothing related to Murray.

Madu should be able to step up, he showed some promise during the Big 12 Championship. I am still worried though.

Next year I don't want to see Murray on one special teams play! This is 2 years in a row without him playing in a bowl. I know his kick returning ability is special but its not worth the risk. We need him more at tailback.
