Eldridge breaks pinkie finger

[sooner59]

I'm hearing news that Habern, Lepack, and Eldridge all got hurt yesterday in practice. Lepack supposedly had his legs rolled on, Eldridge may have broken his hand......no details on Habern.

Can anybody get some more info on this? This is starting to **** me off.

Do we need to start practicing with touch or flag football? Do we just watch film and go play? Give me a break. I hope this isn't true.

[SoonerInLubbock]

This better be a prank!!:eek:

[yermom]

hearing from where?

if this isn't true, someone isn't going to be very popular...

[A-M]

I hope they are all lies you are hearing!

[OKC-SLC]

heh.

[CK Sooner]

Those are the #1 #2 #3 at center on the depth chart.

[sooner59]

Heard it from the same person that told me when Gresham got hurt in practice before it was made public.

I hope it isn't true as much as you, trust me. I'm sick and tired of these injuries.

I am not presenting this as truth. I heard it from someone who was right before and I am asking everyone if they have heard anything that could confirm or disprove this. I just want more info.

[CK Sooner]

Name your source....

There is nothing on the premium boards. This is the first time I have heard this rumor.

[sooner59]

Those are the #1 #2 #3 at center on the depth chart.

I know....that's why began to curse loudly when I heard it.

And that's just it. Its a rumor. No credible sources. Just word of mouth. I didn't start the rumor, I just wanted to see if anybody else heard it. It seems improbable that all 3 centers would go down at once. But at this point.....it wouldn't surprise me. I hope its just a prank as well.

[SeattleOUstudent]

We dont post rumors on here. If you have a link documenting your question, post it.

[Mjcpr]

It's because McCoy is taking names.

[sooner ngintunr]

We don't??? I guess you haven't noticed that this place is rumor central.

[Collier11]

This has got to be a really bad joke, how do you lose your top 3 centers when you have already lost your TE and QB

[SoonerEmpire]

If this is true, I'm going to castrate the next UTerus fan I see. SOMEBODY must PAY! :mad:

[fadada1]

anyone here know how to snap a football? shotgun or direct snap. hell, we'll even take the intramural sideways snap if necessary.

[delhalew]

It's because McCoy is taking names.
this

[CK Sooner]

I am guessing this is false. The chances of losing three guys at the same position in one practice is hard to imagine anyways.

[Pigface1]

No biggie, they'll be ready to play in a great way against Idaho State.

[CK Sooner]

Here is the word guys:

So far the only guy that has been Confirmed injured is Eldridge. He will still try to play against Idaho State with a broken hand.

[OK2U]

That's garbage!

[CK Sooner]

Here is the word guys:

So far the only guy that has been Confirmed injured is Eldridge. He will still try to play against Idaho State with a broken hand...

[delhalew]

This is far surpassing any version of reality, that I am prepared to accept.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Am I the only one laughing?

I guess to keep from crying.
In the real world, this would be so far from the truth. In sooner football 2009 world, it's gotta be true. They're dropping like flies.

[Spanish Sooner]

I seem to remember Chris Bush being able to play most of 2005 with a broken hand, but he was at guard not TE.

[SoonerInLubbock]

I still need to see a reliable news report before I accept this.

[sooner59]

Here is the word guys:

So far the only guy that has been Confirmed injured is Eldridge. He will still try to play against Idaho State with a broken hand...

Hopefully that's the only one that I had right. Eldridge was the only one that seemed clear cut with a broken hand. Hopefully IF the other two got hurt, it isn't bad enough to keep them from playing if necessary. And by the way.....if Eldridge plays with a broken hand, then he is a gamer. I like that guy.

[CK Sooner]

I still need to see a reliable news report before I accept this.

Your not going to find one until probably until later tonight, so your out of luck.

[NOVSooner]

ditto

[OklahomaTuba]

I have an idear, maybe we should go ahead and start the 3rd string and work our way up the roster instead of starting off injuring all the starters?????

[DakotaSooner]

How am I supposed to work under these conditions.......after this last week, I need therapy.

[CK Sooner]

The site I got it from said that he won't be able to play Center if Ben Habern gets hurt. That will be up to Brian Lepak.

[swardboy]

good grief! How early in the day do they begin weekday practices?

[sooner59]

I have an idear, maybe we should go ahead and start the 3rd string and work our way up the roster instead of starting off injuring all the starters?????

You may be on to something.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Is there any protocol for not having 11 healthy players?

[sooner59]

Lepak's cousin said that he says he has a high ankle sprain. For what its worth.

[delhalew]

:chicken:

As in, somebody better sacrifice one.

[Spanish Sooner]

Lepak had the High Ankle sprain at the start of fall camp.

[TXBOOMER]

These freaking injuries are insane. Are you kidding me? Who are we gonna convert to center next?

[CK Sooner]

These freaking injuries are insane. Are you kidding me? Who are we gonna convert to center next?

Stephen Good, or Trent Williams. Both have gotten snaps there.

[CK Sooner]

Lepak had the High Ankle sprain at the start of fall camp.

You know once you get a high ankle sprain you can still get another one?

:rolleyes:

[BoomerSooner, esq.]

This is worse than a bad dream.....

[Spanish Sooner]

I know I was just putting out hope that the ankle sprain being discussed was the same one...

[Howzit]

What if you have 2 high ankle sprains?

[CK Sooner]

What if you have 2 high ankle sprains?

That would suck.

[Boomer.....]

What if you have 2 high ankle sprains?

They would cancel each other out.

[Blitzkrieg]

Methinks our injury deal with debil in 2000 is being paid back right now.

[OKC-SLC]

Methinks our injury deal with debil in 2000 is being paid back right now.

i'll say.

[unbiasedtruth]

Brandon Braxton????? No more false starts.....

[Gaius_Longinus]

Here is the word guys:

So far the only guy that has been Confirmed injured is Eldridge. He will still try to play against Idaho State with a broken hand...

Practice has not even started today

[okiewaker]

Practice has not even started today


It happened at yesterdays practice.

[MrJimBeam]

Here is the word guys:

So far the only guy that has been Confirmed injured is Eldridge. He will still try to play against Idaho State with a broken hand.

Hell, we had a guy play here once that was missing a hand.

[OKC-SLC]

Bring Tebow to lay hands.

[rainiersooner]

What if you have 2 high ankle sprains?

It's a calf sprain then.

Cue snare.

[Hot Rod]

Bring Tebow to lay hands.

Dear tiny infant, Heisman-winning, baby Tebow...

[Howzit]

It's a calf sprain then.

Cue snare.

Not if it's one on each ankle.

[CaliBornSoonerBred]

Alright, I hear by volunteer to go be a tackling dummy, stand in lineman, whatever is needed for the rest of the season in practice so guys stop geting hurt. I'm 6'6" 245 and have more than average athleticism. I can be injured and still sit behind a desk and work soooo who's with me?!

[redhawk49]

I picked a helluva day to quit drinkin!

[Gresho Murford]

I picked a helluva day to quit drinkin!

**** that

[sooner59]

I know I was just putting out hope that the ankle sprain being discussed was the same one...

You may be right. Like I said, the details are pretty shady right now. Lepack may still be ailing from the same injury. I don't know if its new.....or if Habern is hurt. The only one confirmed was Eldridge by CK.

[NormanPride]

What if it's a cankle sprain?

[Pigface1]

Someone needs to put Landry Jones in a bullet proof cocoon until the Tulsa game b/c I can't wait to see the cluster **** of a 7th string center and 3rd string QB.

Did Las Vegas pull the OU - Idaho St game off the board yet? lol

[GKeeper316]

dont know about injuries, but i have it from a very very reliable source that brody almost quit the team over being forced into playing center.

[SunnySooner]

Link on Eldridge, maybe it's not too bad, he wasn't much of a receiver anyway.


Yes, my first post, bring on the n00b jokes. Hope I did the link right. If not, it's the Tulsa World reporting.

What a year!!

[Sasakwa]

Not to question your source, but he seems like a team player and a guy who would play anywhere he could help. Disappointing if thats not the case.

[OK2U]

balls

[GKeeper316]

Not to question your source, but he seems like a team player and a guy who would play anywhere he could help. Disappointing if thats not the case.

center is the guy that calls schemes on audibles and he hated being responsible for that. and he said he wasnt able to move around enough in the center of the line to block effectively.

and trust me, my source is super hella reliable. id name names, but that would only make me look like a ********* name dropper, and might give everyone that reads these boards a little insight into where i work and what i do and id rather keep that to myself.

[perculator]

we must make a sacrifice

[sooneron]

What if it's a cankle sprain?

OUCH!!

Oh, so you work for the Sports Animal, and Traber is your source?

[GKeeper316]

no and no.

stop guessing.

[TheUnnamedSooner]

I think the way he is talking there is a 40/75 chance he is either Dean Blevins or his source is Dean Blevins.

[prrriiide]

Not to question your source, but he seems like a team player and a guy who would play anywhere he could help. Disappointing if thats not the case.

Perhaps he truly felt that he was worth far more to the team as a TE, which seems to have been proved on Saturday night.

[GKeeper316]

nope... used to work with him. he's a dick.

Rogers used to work with him.

[BigRed13]

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. HE IS TOO MUCH A TEAM PLAYER.

[yermom]

he said "almost" ;)

[westbrooke]

I was beginning to fear it was a curse on the Sooners who came back. Nope. It's the whole team. F*#@ those voodoo dolls, we're gonna give 'em hell anyway.

[GKeeper316]

Rogers used to work with him.

heh mark rogers is a moron...

interned for him and skarky at 5.

[sooner59]

Just for a little confirmation, here is the link. And its just a pinky, not whole hand. I guess thats good news.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4459407

[Boomer.....]

They showed a picture of him on the news and it looks more like a wrap around his hand instead of a cast. Stoops said he could even snap the ball if needed.

[JLEW1818]

Stoops has said a lot of things lately

[CK Sooner]

This Brody quitting the team **** is the dumbest stuff I have ever heard....He is a senior and has shot at the NFL and he has stated in interviews that he will do anything to win.

[I Am Right]

It can't be so, Mark Rogers did not say it.

[CK Sooner]

Brody has a broken finger and NOT a broken hand.

Wow, you mean he can throw the ball more than 5 or 6 yards at a time?

[sooner59]

Wow, you mean he can throw the ball more than 5 or 6 yards at a time?

Without Shipley to drop off 6 yard passes to, Colt is a running back.

Hopefully that's the only one that I had right. Eldridge was the only one that seemed clear cut with a broken hand. Hopefully IF the other two got hurt, it isn't bad enough to keep them from playing if necessary. And by the way.....if Eldridge plays with a broken hand, then he is a gamer. I like that guy.

Yes he is a gamer --- especially if he's trying to catch footballs with a broken hand.

[Leroy Lizard]

anyone here know how to snap a football?

Yes. But every time I did, the man on the other side of me would push me backwards and I would fall on my butt.

But I'm ready to snap the ball if you think I'm needed.

[pardon the interREDtion]

I have been in communication with an source in the third dimension. We must perform an exorcism at midnight Friday on the 50 yard line. Must burn one red candle for every scholorship player, burn a worn jersey from both the Florida and BYU game and a lock of K Wilsons' hair to be done with this nonsense.

[delhalew]

I'm still pushin' for sacrificing the horsepigs...whether it works or not.

[sooner59]

I blame Eric Crouch for screwing up our swagger and win streak in the '01 season. Or maybe Reggie McNeil in '02. Kansas State for the Big 12 CG in '03. USC in '04? Maybe we just need to play like we have nothing to lose again. That seemed to work in 2000. Just play like we are supposed to lose every week and we probably don't lose a game. I think its more mental than anything.

[Desert Sapper]

Broken link.

Try this:

The Oklahoman is reporting a broken finger.

[gaylordfan1]

its a broken bone in his pinky finger... and many football players play every game with broken fingers. Quick fix... tape... should be fine.

[Desert Sapper]

He may not be catching many passes, but we probably won't expect him to if he is playing center much longer.

[w0lfe]

Well I know they are saying he can catch the ball and everything fine. But should we believe that now, after everything else we have been told this season?

[stoops the eternal pimp]
