this just seems silly.

i have no beer. otherwise I';d knock back a few.

[sooneron]

I've been knocking them back, so it's easy for me to say that! ;)

[PhiDeltBeers]

Yeah, let's settle down...could be very minor.

[JLEW1818]

but if we make it out to be something big..... then if its not.... we feel really good.. AND WE STILL BE DRUNK!!

[BoulderSooner79]

This is the only part of CFB I hate -- injuries. And I mean for all teams.

[JLEW1818]

u would think god would make OUr knees better! ha

[sooneron]

Where's JWTK when we need him!?!?!

[salth2o]

F**k a Duck!

Screw a Guinea....

[Crucifax Autumn]

Crap. Someone get us some updated info already!

[o0Dan0o]

He didn't injure his knee, the NCAA declared it ineligible...

[o0Dan0o]

They normally know if it's a tear pretty quick. Just landing funny shouldn't tear anything...

He's probably dead.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

The kid is a true freshman and was probably only going to see meaningful time on special teams. I hate it for the kid but let's not act like the season is over.

i'm knocking back some Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA's... poor Tom.. get well soon, son. *BurRrP*

Wait... Where did you find the Torpedo? Finding that stuff is like trying to find big foot! Caldera IPA is comparable.

[JLEW1818]

I'm on 16!

4 for me, bout head bar

[gaylordfan1]

This is absolutely nauseating! I was looking forward to this kid causing some problems this year! It's sounding like he is out for the year. Sorry guys.

[OU_PhD]

Hey I'm sorry I live in California.

But if you PM me I could mail you some, even just a couple of bottles if you like.

You could pay me back after you get it or send me some Choc beer or something.

It's really strong, so you only need a few.

Hey I bet Joe's place on 12th and Alameda in Norman would have it.

THey used to have all the Sierra Nevada's

Thanks man, very nice gesture. My fav liqour store carries it when its available. I had a six pack a couple of weeks ago and don't remember much of the night, that stuff is like 7.3% alc right. You should try Caldera IPA. Its a can beer, but don't let that turn u away. Very hoppy! Again, comparable to Torpedo. Let me know what you think.

[stoopified]

Time to assume prayer position.

[gaylordfan1]

So, where does this put our def? A once stacked position is now down to 2! I guess Box took over the back-up? Wow, it's crazy what one week can do.

LOL, thats true. I have seen people blow a knee by just walking!

[OK2U]

Dammit: I make fun of another *TE* injuring his knee and look what happens...

To the fans and everybody else in Sooner nation, I'm sorry.
I'm extremely sorry. We were hoping for an un-injured season.
That was my goal, something we have never done here.

I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this.
You will never see any fan in the entire country root as hard as I will root the rest of the season.

You will never see someone push the rest of the fans as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season.

You will never see a forum post harder than we will the rest of the season.

Switzer Bless.

I thought I'd had pleasant dreams...this explains it.

[PhiDeltBeers]

This thread went from very upset to amazingly histerical in about 2.5 seconds! My wife asked what I was laughing about and I told her one of our LB's got hurt. Woops!

[Crucifax Autumn]

Such is the way of us crazy people!

Amputation at the very least....

[setem]

I wish we had the coach from Varsity Blues...

Take a little shot and make it all better!

[Crucifax Autumn]

Poor kid's probably getting his head reattached as I type!

[LawtonBoy74]

Maybe he can find a used knee on Ebay ;)

[rainiersooner]

Wow. What a buzzkill this is.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I actually think it's not as bad as we assume. He'll be ok...It's just Stoops playing on his rep...we all expect the injury to be career ending like it normally is when Bob's acting like this, but in reality he's a step ahead of us and trying to make BYU and texass overconfident!

[CK Sooner]

I pray to god this is minor.

[CK Sooner]

According to OUInsider he is done for the year. Take that as a rumor if you would like for now.

[adoniijahsooner]

I pray to god this is minor.

Here's an interview with Stoops about the injury.

http://newsok.com/multimedia/video/34838220001

[CK Sooner]

Torn ACL is the rumor.

(go read the bottom of page 3)

[adoniijahsooner]

If that's the case, we hold our heads up and come up with a plan. I hope BV is on his hustle and doing what needs to be done.

Not that big of deal when it comes to the Middle Linebacker position because if Ryan Reynolds got hurt I think Brent would have put in Austin Box anyways. The depth we have at Middle linebacker now is probably Ryan Reynolds, Austin Box and then Bird which is still pretty good. The thing I am worried about is the impact it will have on him next year. They wanted him to be ready next year for the departure of Ryan Reynolds. Another impact it has on the team is Special Teams. I am pretty sure Tom Wort was on ALL the special teams units and so is Mike Balogun. Losing both of those will hurt are special teams, but to what extent we won't know until the season starts. Hopefully they can plug a couple of people in there now and get the practice they need and their lanes down. Again, I think we will be fine at the middle linebacker position this year. Tom Wort will redshirt this year and hopefully be ready to compete at soon as conditioning starts at the end of this season. He could be back before the season is over, but that is very doubtful with an ACL injury. I just hope that somehow and someway Mike gets his eligibility back. When need him not just for middle linebacker, but he is a force to be reckoned with on special teams also.

[beer4me]

It's official breaking news torn ACL out for season:mad:

[Boomer.....]

[boomersooner28]

SA this morning. I just heard it on the radio from the mouth of Cary (sp?) Murdock.

[BillyBall]

That bleauxs.

[Johnny Utah]

it's probably only coincidental but we seem to be injury prone at this position

[NormanPride]

Well, he's third string so it's not the end of the world. We're all freaking out because we know in our heart of hearts that Reynolds will not last the season. But who knows? He could have a year like ut's Shipley did last year.

Either way we have Box behind him as well. I know Box got injured AS WELL last year, but the odds of having that kind of luck again is low - especially since Box's injury was caused by a cowardly OSU kid.

Let's all take a step back and realize that, as of now, the two-deep is unaffected.

[MojoRisen]

This really sucks! All the best to Tom in recovering! My brother tore his as a true freshman - playing against Texas for lou holtz & Arkansas. Caught a seem on their ****tey turf tackling Johnie Lamb Jones. They cut him from his calf to his thigh back then - never got his speed fully back. Technology is so much better these days- Tom can get in the weight room and get huge over the next year. Hope he keeps his head up - He should also get a go kart so he can get around to class!

[boomersooner28]

Ya, thats what sucks about the whole situation. I'm not really concerned about this season, BUT Wort getting back fully healthy and worrying about not hurting it again pisses me off. How many times do you see kids tear an ACL, and then re-injure the same knee or tear the other ACL? Sucks.

[NormanPride]

Yeah, the non-contact thing is what worries me about him. Hopefully it was just a freak accident...

[RedstickSooner]

Bob Stoops said, "He was just jumping up for a ball and came down funny."

I speak Stoops. Please. Allow me to translate:

"Turns out someone planted a punji-stick hole out in the practice field. He landed in it. Spikes smeared with poison penetrated his leg in multiple spots, partially detaching it (the leg) from the rest of his body. We found his kneecap at the bottom of the hole, six hours later, after the doctors reported it missing."

"Oh, and this hazing is really out of hand."

[RedstickSooner]

As a side note: Does this mean we can now refer to this year's team as a "bunch of wortless players"?

[soonerfan28]

I guess we know which l=LB will be redshirting and probably Gus Jones as well.

[SoonerFrance]

Didn't Wort miss some high school ball due to a knee injury?

[Sam.England]

Didn't Wort miss some high school ball due to a knee injury?

He missed some due to a high ankle sprain, cant for the life of me think it was anything to do with the knee.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Very crappy day at work, I get home, about to hit the weights and read this news, knee injury, now that would be absolutely terrbile to not gett to see him play for another season!

I think you people saying he was just third string so not really an issue would have been surprised this year!

I really hope its not the acl.

[CK Sooner]

Shouldn't be funny, but it is.


:D

[Sam.England]

He also broke his foot aswell in high school, but played the whole year on it! Hows that for passion and wanting to play the game! This guy knows how to play hurt!

[Boomer Mooner]

As much as all of us are ready for season to start, I can't imagine how disappointed Wort must be. I hope he has a thorough recovery.

Anyway you think we could get tboner to lay hands on him and heal him:confused:

[sooneron]

This sucks. I blame espn for the curse. They had some pub on him just the other day..

[Boomer Mooner]

Has he been circumcised? Bait and switch? Just thinkin' out loud...
