What else would you expect from the king of the toiletmakers?

They didn't mention that option. The surgeon is one of the top pediatric orthopedic surgeons in the Phoenix area. He was recommended based on the severity and the growth plate issues. I trust that he will take the best route, but you raise an interesting perspective.

My wife had a knee replacement I 2016. A friend had one done quite recently and the trajectory of their respective recoveries were light years apart. Praying that all goes well, and that the timing works out for Championship week and the NCAAT.

Talked to my son and grandson today. Caleb's next surgery is December 1. He has 6 knee ligaments in play. ACL and MPFL ligaments are torn through and will require complete reconstruction. MCL and PCL were torn to some extent in the original evaluation, and depending if/how they've progress may require attention. The LCL was sprained or strained and will require inspection and possible treatment and the transverse ligament will require evaluation and possible work. Additionally, the femur looks to be healed, though we're still waiting on confirmation about the growth plate. The tibia micro fractures looked good on recent x-rays. They will also have to evaluate the condition of the various menisci and take any necessary repairs on them. Of course to repair/reconstruct these ligaments will require harvesting ligaments and tissue from other areas of his body - possibly the hamstring and quads. All in all, he's looking at a major reconstruction of his knee and a pretty formidable recovery. Because of the amount of work to be done, the doctor is unclear as to whether he can do the job in a single surgery or if it will require multiple surgeries. Please keep him in your prayers. His spirits are up and he's more than willing to tackle the recovery. He's a tough kid, but unfortunately, this happening at the start of his junior year in HS pretty much means the end of his football career, and puts his baseball future in jeopardy.

We thought the same thing last season. Losing Tino for Whitmer doesn't seem to have missed a beat. Buy, yeah, don't relish the though of losing a coordinator (Haines of Shannahan) or other position coach (Bostad, Kuntz or the others).

Banish this guy. :D

Yeah, but even so, 16 > 12, so Texas is outside, looking in.

Da Bears... 8-1 over the last nine games...

True dat. But that video clip is never out of place on rivalry week - or any other day of the week.

With Odom running his mouth and criticizing our schedule, he's given Cig all the impetus he needs to put another thrashing on the toilet makers.

Agreed. Win some games, play hard, establish the culture that DeVries wants and stay the course. And, of course, get the NIL bank lined up for next season.

DeVries is not Woodson. He is not Archie. He is not Crean. But unfortunately, we've endured those three since 2008... so the experience, feelings, even early-onset panic seem inevitable. In the past couple of games, we've seen this team play down to the level of the competition - an experience that we saw far too often in the recent past. I'm willing to give DeVries a chance to sort this out. We've still got some injuries to work through, and some guys who may or may not pan out. I'm not thrilled with what I've seen lately, but also not ready to pull the plug. Fix the stagnation on offense, the lack of rebounding and let's see where this goes.

Sisley got mugged and no call

Bailey with the brick

including many here...

Getting killed on the offensive boards.

the bank is open for Tuck

Not seeing the ball movement from early in the season. Too much one-on-one for my liking.

No legs... shots are short.

apparently it wasn't a big enough bag.

I just saw this... sharing... https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/sling-orange-day-passes-are-only-1-right-now-for-black-friday-231208163.html?src=rss

And regardless of who we schedule, we will continue to pound the crap out of those mouth-breathing toiletmakers.
