AD Breaks collerbone!

[Flagstaffsooner]

Anyone hear anything?

[OklahomaTuba]

:eek:

[OklahomaTuba]

Best case he will be back for the bowl game.

[ClintonSooner]

Just heard on FSN:mad:


What a terrible thing.

[CrimsonandCreamForever]

They just showed Stoops in a press conference saying AD broke his collar bone. Looking for link....

[OklahomaTuba]

unbelieveable.

[ClintonSooner]

:( There goes heisman...

[OklahomaTuba]

Maybe we can move DJ back to RB now???

[Flagstaffsooner]

Silver lining. back next year maybe.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Is there any threads about it? TIA!!!:pop::pop::pop::pop:

[Scott D]

after seeing how Soonerfans.com has started eleventybillion threads about AD breaking his collarbone.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Wow...That sucks, but MAybe he'll come back next year.

[KC//CRIMSON]

I've had two broken collar bones. They heal pretty quick and are not real painful.

[BajaOklahoma]

You also weren't playing D1 football at the time.
:(

[oumartin]

not cool

[OklahomaTuba]

With teams stacking the line keying on you either every game.

[Sabla]

Lets hope he comes back. But I doubt it.

[Sirus]

Damn, It was just announced and there are already 3 threads about it.

[Crucifax Autumn]

He also isn't AD, so don't count our star out yet. He's damn well conditioned and we'll have to see.

[SoonerE39]

My son just called and told me this. WTF?

[OklahomaTuba]

So, does this keep him at OU another year? I doubt it.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Soonerfan Meltdown mode begins...

[Crucifax Autumn]

Hornfans have groins?

[Newbomb Turk]

We have done something to **** off the football gods.

[josh09]

hahahaha nice

[OklahomaTuba]

Soonerfan Meltdown mode begins...
We've been in meltdown mode since the Orange Bowl.

[All_Day_28]

man, isn't he only about 150 yard away from breaking the rushing record?? that's very unfortunate... :(

[Crucifax Autumn]

The football gods have certainly kicked me in the nads the last several weeks...I say we kick 'em in the ***!

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Allen Patrick? Gute ? Chris Bown,Demarco Murray,Madu ?

Any reshirts pulled?

[oumartin]

um, no way he comes back for another season.. his line sucks and they use him and abuse him and he is wearing out. He needs to go now to the NFL and do what he can... Its just not meant to be for him to be the all time leading rusher at OU..

[OKC-SLC]

We've been in meltdown mode since the Orange Bowl.
I have no idea what you are talking about.

[OklahomaTuba]

What about DJ Wolfe?

[josh09]

So, does this keep him at OU another year? I doubt it.


its possible. that COULD be the bright side of it. he said nothing would make him return except an injury.....

[Sooner_Bob]

make that eleventybillion and 1

[OU-HSV]

I've never broke a collar bone..I'm sure it hurts with the slightest movements. That brings me to my question, what's the chances of him playing through this injury or is that way out of the question?

[Newbomb Turk]

um, no way he comes back for another season.. his line sucks and they use him and abuse him and he is wearing out. He needs to go now to the NFL and do what he can... Its just not meant to be for him to be the all time leading rusher at OU..

I hate to agree with martin, but he's right on. No way he comes back.

[KC//CRIMSON]

You also weren't playing D1 football at the time.
:(

Actually, I was playing football. But not D1.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Peterson out for season with broken collarbone

ESPN.com news services




Oklahoma running back and Heisman hopeful Adrian Peterson (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=161717) will miss the rest of the season after breaking his collarbone Saturday. Coach Bob Stoops hopes Peterson can return for a bowl game.

[magic33216]

God this ****es me off, I don't know why but this depresses me really bad.:(

[Scott D]

yeah...conditioning always defines how one heals from a broken bone.

[OklahomaTuba]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Repressed memories aren't healthy man, but in this case it might be. :D

[Half a Hundred]

Trust the coaches, trust PT, hope Patrick steps up in a huge way.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Either way, He has to come back...The discussion on his return until now has been he's gone barring injury, so maybe at the least this gets him back another year.

But I still say there's no way he won't be back in a week or 2.

[OklahomaTuba]

I hate to agree with martin, but he's right on. No way he comes back.

Then he may have just played his last game as a Sooner.

:(

[Crucifax Autumn]

I still wanna know when horn fans got groins? It must have come from the 2 years I haven't lived in the Austin area after 20 in their territory.

[Newbomb Turk]

Then he may have just played his last game as a Sooner.

:(

well if that's the case, his last carry was a good one...cept for the injury.

[OKC-SLC]

I've never broke a collar bone..I'm sure it hurts with the slightest movements. That brings me to my question, what's the chances of him playing through this injury or is that way out of the question?
No chance. Will never heal, run the risk of nerve damage, not to mention the impact pain given that he runs into the D-line before our O-line.

[magic33216]

IF patrick doesn't pull a hat trick of fumbles every game...he might have a chance at stepping up.

[Newbomb Turk]

PT gets a bit more pressure than he has been getting.

[Crucifax Autumn]

We'll probably end up better just because this is the kid of thing that rallies a team. AD will be on the sideline urging his team on and doing all he can to help, provided it turns out to be a break after further evaluation and providing he doesn't nut up and play through it.

I remember many Sooners being more powerful on the sideline from either injury or NCAA Faggies keeping them out of games than they were on the field.

[OklahomaTuba]

Sorry, but Patrick hasn't impressed me at all. The kid can hit, but I just havn't seen enough out of him (except the fumbles) to be really excited about him.

[OU-HSV]

No chance. Will never heal, run the risk of nerve damage, not to mention the impact pain given that he runs into the D-line before our O-line.
F*ck, that's not what I was wanting to hear

[OK2LA]

Not sure that A.D. would come back - he's got to think about the future. If he did come back, look at the qb situation next year - not good. Next year will be an even bigger "re-building" year. If you, Mark May, and tejas fans everwhere think that he was getting "over used" (what ever in the fawk that means?!?) NEXT year would be tougher than ever.

MAYBE he gets back for a bowl game - if we make it that far - which we should, but even then, he'd be risking MAJOR injury right before he'd be going into the draft . . . that isn't the best situation for him/Bob to be making at that time - JMHO.

[VMG]

No chance. Will never heal, run the risk of nerve damage, not to mention the impact pain given that he runs into the D-line before our O-line.

Broken collarbone -- been there done that...

...4-6 weeks recovery depending on the severity of the break. Lotsa restrictions on physical conditioning. Bowl game is a possibility depending on the date.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Well, I didn't see that post by OKC-SLC MD, so maybe he doesn't really know. Again, this isn't the end of the world, and he will either play through it, come back sooner, sit out the year, come back next year, or be a great "extra coach"!

[OnlyOneOklahoma]

Allen can step up if he can hold the ball...the only good thing about this situation is that adrian may come back next year...but then he has to deal with a less-experienced QB than PT i am so torn up right now about this

[OU-HSV]

Do you guys think this well drastically effect his draft stock (assuming he leaves after this season)?

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

I say put Demarco Murray in

[OK2LA]

When did this thread become "OFFICIAL"?

Just checking

[OU-HSV]

OKC-SLC is an M.D. I trust what he's saying about this. But he's my brother too so I hope he's wrong:D

[oumartin]

i was expecting this thread at the end of the season

[MiccoMacey]

Who comes out of redshirt...Chris Brown or DeMarco Murray?

[KC//CRIMSON]

Do you guys think this well drastically effect his draft stock (assuming he leaves after this season)?

Nope, not at all. He could enter the draft today and be a top five pick. Easily.

[OU-HSV]

Nope, not at all. He could enter the draft today and be a top five pick. Easily.
That's kinda what I was thinking. They know what the guy can do..and hopefully (for AD and his family's sake) a collar bone break won't stop them from taking him early in the draft.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I say we stick out heads in the sand and lay an ostrich egg!

We'll be fine no matter what.

[Newbomb Turk]

When did this thread become "OFFICIAL"?

Just checking

When BOOMERBRADLEY typed "OFFICIAL".

[All_Day_28]

Who comes out of redshirt...Chris Brown or DeMarco Murray?
they just said on the sports animal that it would be Moses Madu.. that's according to KW...

[slickdawg]

I'm sick. This season has been ruthless.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I think his competative nature will bring him back to OU.

[oumartin]

his stock has already plummeted according to mel kiper. injury prone

[KC//CRIMSON]

I think his competative nature will bring him back to OU.

no way. he's gone.

[All_Day_28]

they said on the animal that Madu is coming out of redshirt...

[SoonerJason]

I'm sick. This season has been ruthless.


What doesnt kill us, makes us stronger?


oy vey

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'm with Sooner JAson on that one.

[Crucifax Autumn]

And is it so hard to believe that a person lives for more than easy money?

[nBoSTP]

What a way to go out for him as a sooner though with a long TD run. Congrats Adrian and good luck in the pro's to you.

[poke4christ]

If Peterson didn't play another down all season, he'd still be a top 5 draft pick. Maybe even still number 1.

Zach

[magic33216]

Is this Madu kid any good? I seen his prospect page but I am sceptical.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

When did this thread become "OFFICIAL"?

Just checking

I made it official. There were too many threads about this very topic so I simplified things a bit...

[Crucifax Autumn]

MAybe it's all a Stoops ploy! ;)

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Madu is shifty, but I have not seen the break away speed in his highlight videos

[OKC-SLC]

OKC-SLC is an M.D. I trust what he's saying about this. But he's my brother too so I hope he's wrong:D
I'm not an orthopod, and I'm sure there may be factors such as location, displacement, etc. that can affect the safety of playing with such a fracture. If so, it does not bode well that Bob has already come out and talked like it is serious and likely season-ending based on what they know.

If there's any risk at all, I don't want him to play thru it. And I want him to go to the NFL because he deserves it.

[SpiderInMyPeanuts]

GET REAL...He is not coming back next year...Why?

[OU-HSV]

I accept what he says. We just don't know the severity of the break. On the x-ray my collarbone looked like a pencil that someone snapped in half and then jammed back together -- very jagged on both sides of the break. My experience was that I couldn't even work out for about 4-6 weeks, much less play. Given the lost conditioning that will result from the recovery period, I wouldn't expect AD to play in a bowl game since he would be at risk for greater injury and thereby compromise his professional future.

True, good point.

[GrapevineSooner]

AD's been the good soldier through all of this. I wouldn't want him risking any part of his future in the NFL just to play in whatever bowl game OU is in.

[[email protected]]

I bet you guys are glad he was still playing while the game was in doubt. Would be a shame if he was playing just to pad his stats.

[GottaHavePride]

I'm glad his dad got to see him play at least one game in person at OU. And if you have to go out like that, that's the kind of play to do it on. Just too bad it was against ISU.

Good luck in the NFL, AD.

[proud gonzo]

is there reason why these threads were merged to a title that is misspelled? :D

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

I say we give all three freshman rb's a shot at playing

[GottaHavePride]

Burn redshirts on THREE people trying to replace an irreplaceable player? Yeah, that's a GREAT idea.

[TXBOOMER]

I've had two broken collar bones. They heal pretty quick and are not real painful.


I broke mine in college and it hurt like a m***** F*****. Sucks for OU and AD, hopefully he won't hire an agent before the bowl game and will continue to go to class. He would be able to play in that game and probably would be able to break Billy Sims record. If I were a betting man (and I am), I would say we have seen the last of AD in an OU uniform.

[Boomer.....]

I would like to see Gute in there. I loved his running last year.

[gnostic19]

his stock has already plummeted according to mel kiper. injury prone

Kiper's stock plummeted long before AD's supposedly did. Also, i remember Kiper had Dan Cody as the number 5 pick in the draft two years ago.

[Scott D]

I bet you guys are glad he was still playing while the game was in doubt. Would be a shame if he was playing just to pad his stats.

I bet your parents think it's a shame that the best part of you was left on the delivery room floor. Go away horn.

[swardboy]

I would like to see Gute in there. I loved his running last year.

AMEN..and not only is he a very shifty runner, he deserves the chance for his loyalty.

[gnostic19]

We'll probably end up better just because this is the kid of thing that rallies a team. AD will be on the sideline urging his team on and doing all he can to help, provided it turns out to be a break after further evaluation and providing he doesn't nut up and play through it.

yeah, having the best player in CF not able to play can only have positive ramifications ongames.:rolleyes:

[Scott D]

let me ask you....last season, did our passing game develop more when we had an injured Adrian Peterson playing, or when we actually had to sit him out.

At least the defense cant key on him anymore;)

Crap, I miss one OU home game and look what you guys allow to happen...seriously, this is terrible, I really feel for AD (and his Dad)...

What Bowl game???? Little presumptuous at this point to assume a trip to a bowl, unfortunately....

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BEST SARCASTIC PUT DOWN OF THE DAY!!!

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Here is when OU started going down hill!!


The football program at the University of Oklahoma is the most famous aspect of Sooner athletics. Football at OU made its start in September 1895 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1895_in_sports), 12 years before statehood and one year after the first organized football game in Oklahoma Territory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Territory). The team was organized by John A. Harts (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_A._Harts&action=edit), a student from Winfield, Kansas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winfield%2C_Kansas) who had played the game in his home state.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Sooners_football#_note-upsdowns) That first team was composed of mostly non-students, such as a local fireman. That first "season" saw the team go 0-1, being blanked 0-34 by a more experienced Oklahoma City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City) Town Team (they could not even muster a first down (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_down)). The first game was played on a field of low prairie grass just northwest of the current site of Holmberg Hall. Several members of the OU team were injured, including Coach Harts, and by the end of the game, the OU team was borrowing members from the opposing squad so they would have a full lineup. After that year, Harts left OU to prospect for gold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold) in the Arctic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Sooners_football#_note-kidsgame)

What a dip****...I am glad Harts left...because we would have fired his ***!!

[sanantoniosooner]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BEST SARCASTIC PUT DOWN OF THE DAY!!!
A little presumtuous to assume it was sarcasm.;)

HOLY CARP.

You really believe they may not make it to a bowl?

Okay, okay... maybe the Home Depot Toilet Bowl. But let's all keep that sunshine pump a-goin'. Don't want to offend anyone here...

[Soonerus]

We still don't lose another game...go to a good bowl....

[OK2LA]

I bet you guys are glad he was still playing while the game was in doubt. Would be a shame if he was playing just to pad his stats.

Classic. If you knew half as much as you pretended to know - you'd know 2 things - Jack & Shiot.

We've always played the best players - just about the entire game.

Who are you to say that the "game is in hand."?

By the way - what you're saying now - is what they call Hindsight. (easy to say now - knowing what has happened.)

Not sure if you remember a game up in Eugene that was all but over . . . or so we thought.

Lurk somewhere else punkarse.

[sanantoniosooner]

Okay, okay... maybe the Home Depot Toilet Bowl. But let's all keep that sunshine pump a-goin'. Don't want to offend anyone here...
So it doesn't count as a bowl, if it isn't a bowl you like?

Interesting.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

heh!! Is the Holiday Bowl...the toilet bowl!! Just wondering what is toilet and what isn't?

[SoonerJason]

I'm not to worried. Our passing game just turned up another notch.

[soonerhubs]

Adrian Peterson,
Thanks for giving your all every snap! You're one of the finest players to ever where a Sooner's Uni. If you decide to stay for another season that's fine, and we understand if you turn pro. No matter what, I root for your success in all aspects of life.
Thanks for being a Sooner and May God Bless you to heal quick and healthy.

Is this Madu kid any good? I seen his prospect page but I am sceptical.

For what it's worth, Madu looked pretty good in the fall scrimmage earlier this season.

[afs]

i didn't have the game on cable and was at the golf course so i missed the play. why was he still in the game with 6 min left in the 4th?

[Newbomb Turk]

i didn't have the game on cable and was at the golf course so i missed the play. why was he still in the game with 6 min left in the 4th?

to help his Heisman stats?
to impress his dad?
the same reason PT was still in the game?

what did you shoot?

[Newbomb Turk]

oh - and did you get a hole-in-one?

[josh09]

no doubt - I think I've seen it about 20 times.

why did that ISU guy have to try and tackle him? WHY?!?!

1. He hit him on the one yard line! he was gonna score anyway.
2. If, somehow, he had hit him and AD had not have scored, then we would have scored on the next play.
3. We were up by like 20, whats the point trying to hit him?
4. This day just plain sucks, and im trying to get all my emotions out.

WHY

[Newbomb Turk]

why did AD have to dive?

[sanantoniosooner]

It's part of the game. I don't blame the ISU player.

[StoopTroup]

i didn't have the game on cable and was at the golf course so i missed the play. why was he still in the game with 6 min left in the 4th?
If you were playing golf during a Sooner Game....

It's your fault he got hurt. ;)

[Texas Golfer]

i didn't have the game on cable and was at the golf course so i missed the play. why was he still in the game with 6 min left in the 4th?

Maybe because an 18 point lead is not unsurmountable. We had a 13 point lead against Oregon and, with the aid of the zebras, the Ducks got 14 points in the last 66 seconds.

[nebraskaSOONER]

I would like to see Gute in there. I loved his running last year.
I AGREE I AGREE!!!!!!

[birddog]

It's part of the game. I don't blame the ISU player.

how dare he try to tackle a superstar. :P

why couldn't he wear the blasted "don't touch" jersey with the blue numbers?

stuff happens fellas.

[colleyvillesooner]

why did AD have to dive?

To score.

[Scott D]

why did AD have to dive?

the last ISU defender hit him with a shoulder in the leg, he was offbalance and stumbling when he went into the endzone where he finally lost his feet.

[Newbomb Turk]

To score.

BS - he would have scored anyway.

[Newbomb Turk]

the last ISU defender hit him with a shoulder in the leg, he was offbalance and stumbling when he went into the endzone where he finally lost his feet.

and he dove on purpose - he didn't lose his balance.

[Scott D]

and he dove on purpose - he didn't lose his balance.

oh ok...I wasn't aware this was the part of the merged thread where we're suppossed to make him a target.

[GottaHavePride]

Yeah, now we're blaming AD for his own injury? **** happens in football, and Stoops has shown a reluctance to substitute for AD this year because the other backs fumble a lot.

[colleyvillesooner]

Once again, I really hate part of our fanbase...

[lil'duck]

I am so sorry for what happened to AD today. I admit, I haven't read this whole thread- it's way too long, but I was really upset when I saw the news.

I hope AD still has a chance at the Heisman (could it happen???? It should- nobody else comes close.) and I am sure that Oklahoma will prove to everyone who doubts it - that they are not a one man team. The Sooners will survive this and continue to win their games. But I still feel sad for AD and his family right now.

good luck, Sooners - I'll be rooting for you.

[afs]

oh - and did you get a hole-in-one?


nope, but I did shoot an 82, which is a personal best. I was feeling really good about it until i turned the radio and caught the news on the way home.

[GottaHavePride]

I think the list keeps growing and growing.

Never. Gets. Old.

[MI Sooner]

I'm sorry I didn't have the video camera running, but I wondered, out loud, why Peterson was playing about 12 seconds before he broke his collar bone. I think it has something to do with retarded coaching.

Peterson should go to the NFL. His draft stock won't rise any higher. As much as I'd like to see him back, he should go pro, especially given the short life expectancy of NFL running backs.

Given that Peterson is strong and fast, I think his combine and measurables will impress people. However, I won't be surprised if he's not a great NFL back. He doesn't pick up the blitz well, although he's gotten better. He's a below average receiver. And he's a power back that weighs 216. He's not going to run over many people in the NFL. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am. I also thought Mark Clayton would be an all-Pro receiver by his 3rd year.

We'll see.

Best of luck AD. Your work ethic and determination always impressed me.

[sanantoniosooner]

yeah, good luck with that "retarted coaching" thing.

How do you retart something?

[GottaHavePride]

I'm sorry I didn't have the video camera running, but I wondered, out loud, why Peterson was playing about 12 seconds before he broke his collar bone. I think it has something to do with retarded coaching.

I give the coaches a pass on this one, because it seems like when we try to pull AD and rest him, his replacement fumbles about every other time they get the ball. I think the coaches had decided just not to sub for Peterson unless the game was way, WAY out of reach. This game could have turned around if we had started fumbling the ball away. Heck, we had already given up a safety because of a fumble.

He was in contention for the Heisman trophy, that is why he was playing. If you heven't figured out that you are on Mars.

I believe that the coaching staff would have a hard time keeping AD off the field. AD is one of those rare players that not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. He is a winner, and winners want the ball in their hands. Doesn't matter if its 35-7 or 7-35. I admire his determination. The same determination that will probably cost him the remainder of the season. All because he will not be denied the end-zone.

God speed AD

[Scott D]

pretty sure he's up in the 220-225 range now, not 216.

Remember this?

[instigator]

WTF?!?!?

[adoniijahsooner]

Just a reminder that with all the concern about us losing D. Murray; that this is the same coaching staff, that won a conference championship with AD out, and a convert WR at QB. We are only 2 years removed from this; but like the children of israel, we forget what blessings we have received in the past.

Yeah, but let's not talk about that season's bowl game:eek:

I think your point is let's stay upbeat about it. And I don't see a reason not to still feel okay about this game. It sucks missing DM for this game, but Brown and Madu will be effective enough (and then some) I'm sure.

[instigator]

Oh... good one.

[adoniijahsooner]

What's funny is that AD actually played in that game, against everyones wishes. People wanted him to conserve himself for the draft; but not AD. He is all heart, also I believe that he re injured his collarbone during that game.

[Lott's Bandana]

Somebody want to bring up an old thread from September 11, 2001?

****ing jeepers.

[sooner2b09]

that run on the first possession in OT was insane, he was like a man possessed

[yermom]

yeah, he scared the crap out of the Boise coaches and made them go for two instead of having to deal with another OT with him
