Rufus. Hoping this is wrong......

[The Consumate Showman]

Okay, don't freak out just yet, but there is someone on ouinsider posting that Rufus might have torn a pec muscle today in the weight room. This has NOT been confirmed by anyone official at ouinsider yet, James is off this week. I don't know who will look into this at ouinsider, but this is an early report from a reliable poster on the site. The guy posted that he hoped he was wrong as do I and the rest of the Sooner Nation......I wouldn't have posted this here if I thought it was a hoax so don't go crazy on me, just wait, it might not be that bad or, hope to God, true of Rufus. I will update if I hear anything new.

Wow, this is sad. 30 minutes have gone by and no one cares about Ru.

[picasso]

umm we care but do you want us to say?

a torn pec is better than a torn quad. hows that?

[OklahomaTuba]

I care, just hope its not true.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Can the guy still play ?

[picasso]

also, I'm still baffled how these guys are tearing muscles lifting weights. did Birdine tear his lifting or was it on the field?
I've been lifting for 15 years now. I can't see how it's possible if you do it properly.

Everyone cares about Ru.

Few care about unsubstantiated rumors on OUInsider. Past posts from credible posters there include that Rhett Bomar broke his clavicle on a slip 'n' slide and that AD Peterson was charged with selling coke.

Rule of thumb over there: I just don't believe it until someone on the staff confirms it. They DO get scooped from time to time, but the vast majority of rumors turn out to be crap.

It's sounding like this is not true. Yeah, I know about those other rumors and crap. Sorry 'bout that earlier miffakmcksdjti0weq..........

Yep, for all we know, he strained a muscle in the weight room and scrunched his face in pain. Then, said observer said it was a torn pec.

Did Birdine have a torn pec or bicep last year?

Torn left bicep.

I just got off the phone with two players. One is the player who told me about the Ryan Reynolds injury. He said that it is a slight strain and that Rufus will be fine. The other is a linebacker and he didn't have much information. However, he did see Rufus walking to the training room today. He said that Rufus did not appear to be in any great pain.

Rufus can play with one arm. He can even tackle like a mother with his head. Just ask the Tulsa Runningbacks.

[goingoneight]

Yes, but a chest, arm or wrist injury can make a superstar look like a D-2 reject. I don't wanna see Rufus tackle like a torso-boy in 2006!!! Get well soon, RRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

[Ruuuuuufus]

I heard they think he just tweaked it a little. Hopefully "they" are correct.

Picasso, I think you're right about Bird. Seems like I remember him tearing it in lifting...

[The Consumate Showman]

Can anyone on here substaintiate this claim my bro-in-law made:

he told me that guys who tear thier pec muscles or biceps when lifting often times are juicing. I think he's full of shiat, but don't know for sure.
