Why even start this bs? There is no rumor except you starting one.
I heard a rumor that he took some magical pills that somehow made it possible for him to recover in 1 month instead of three.
I heard if one of our guys got hurt while putting up a shot, that Buzz was going to put DJ in to shoot the free throws.
I'll buy everyone who posts in this thread a beer if our thread starter ever posts in this thread again.
I heard Buzz is going to coach the game wearing a sari and a Minnie Pearl hat.
Yep, Crean was in Boise working with DJ on his karate chops and hyperbaric chamber moves. After he got done with the tackling dummy drills, he did about 30 minutes on the electric beach. TC then took him to his barber and showed him the proper technique when tying a tie. After a short tutorial in "How To Make Friends and Influence People," James was pronounced ready to start vs. Missouri. He owes all his success to one, Tom Crean.
I will put a medical opinion in this, if really needed. He's still "partial weight-bearing" in the boot, meaning he hasn't put any full weight on his foot at all. From the boot, he has to transition to a shoe, to walking normal, to running, to running/cutting, to running/cutting jumping. One month might happen if he feels good through all of those steps (not likely), two months is more realistic.
actually, DJ called DWade, and got Converse to make a special shoe with a cut out in the sole to accommodate the tape on DJ's foot and he will be playing.
Just give him about 10 shots of Jameson and he shouldn't be feeling anything in the foot.
I really have nothing worthwhile to add to this thread (I know, I know ... how's that any different from most threads), but I didn't want to miss out on Andy's pledge of a free beer should the original poster return.

I'll add 2 cents into this.
I broke my ankle the first weekend of January slipping on ice, and cracked the lateral malleous bone (in layman's terms, the one that connects to the fibula). Although that particular ankle bone only bears about 10% of the total body weight, and I could still partially walk, I was in the boot (the exact same one DJ is wearing) consistently for the better part of 10 weeks. Hell, I am still getting flexibility and strength back in my ankle and overall foot. I can barely run as it is currently. I know DJ's an athlete, but to get the necessary strength and flexibility back in your foot after being in a boot for 3 weeks with a foot/ankle break is damn near impossible for ANYONE.
If he had done this 3 weeks earlier (say beginning of February), I would say it's a possibility. Either way, I'm not buying this whatsoever.
But I will gladly take that beer if he were to play.

hard to argue with that one!
I'm still not convinced he will be any better, than about 75%, but whatever. I will buy him a six pack.
Marquette G James cleared to play
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/ncaatourney09/news/story?id=4005219
Marquette senior guard Dominic James, who suffered a broken foot Feb. 25 in what was thought to be his last game of the season, has been cleared to play for the sixth-seeded Golden Eagles' second-round game against the No. 3 seed Missouri Tigers in Boise, Idaho.
"I don't know how much he'll be able to contribute," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "The thing that I'm excited about is we're going to give him an opportunity to close out his career in the best way he possibly could.
"And I think the recovery has been due in large part to his work, but also because of the wisdom of Ernest [Eugene] and Dr. [Darrin] Maccoux," Williams said of the team's athletic trainer and physician.
James, who averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.2 steals this season, was hurt in a 93-82 loss to Connecticut as the Golden Eagles (25-9) lost five of their last six games to close out the regular season. They advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament with a 58-57 victory over No. 11 seed Utah State.
"He worked out the day we got here, he worked out Friday morning before our game, worked out Friday night, practiced with us today," Williams said. "So medically he's been cleared, but how much he'll be able to contribute, I don't know."
James underwent surgery to the foot two days after the injury and began rehabilitation immediately.
"We've talked to some experts in the field, and these cases are known, have happened in elite athletes -- college and the pros," said Eugene, Marquette's trainer. "He's been very instrumental in all this, obviously. He's been so dedicated being where he's supposed to be every day, doing what he needs to do, and he's surpassed every goal."

In this global economic climate, one total.
I'm just posting on this thread so I qualify for a free beer ;D
Too late for beer??? I'll even take left over green beer!
James at 75% is better than no James at all!
I heard DJ spoke to Reggie White.
(free beer?)

Dude, what do you mean again?
Hey I tried to post yesterday but the thread was locked out so I should get a beer too.
I thought it was strange that DJ would be jumping around on the sideline the last week.
That'll teach you tools to jump down someone's throat prematurely
All you a-holes owe him a huge appology (if you havent already) and you better do your research before you assume it's BS
Goose has got my vote...and hopefully those beers are nice and cold....campus bars? goolsbys? let me know where its at! I've got a flight scheduled for 6:30 et out of Daytona Beach....anybody got any pointers for the best way to try and catch the game when traveling?
GO MARQUETTE!!!!!!!
I'm back and very thirsty!

Take a bump on the flight and watch at the airport lounge.
I still do not believe Goose since he has so few posts. He just can't be right!!!

Are you going to need a ladder to get off your horse?
Indeed. Please.
We had two threads posted about DJ returning, but neither one was started with any more than thin whiff of a rumor.
Someone comes on and gives a little bit more .. like "I know this sounds unbelievable, but DJ was working out with the team without a boot, and there's a rumor he may play. For what it's worth. I know it's preposterous, but I am telling you what I know." THAT might have meant something.
That goes a lot further than what was posted. Of COURSE people weren't going to believe a rumor without much substance or context .. especially from a first time poster .. I mean, come on. I think half of us didn't believe it when we read Rosiak's article, thinking it had to be an early April Fools joke.

Exactly what I thought....but all's right with the world now on march 22 baby!
EPIC FIRST POST WIN.
Hey, I just posted because I heard a rumor and I thought I would have someone more in the know confirm it. I think MU Scoop and anyone else was well within reason to think it was a ridiculous post. At the same time I was a little surprised by some of the reaction to it. Again I was just looking for confirmation of the rumor not to scoop anyone. No harm no foul...
Now let's kick some Tiger a** in the 2nd half!
Ok, so I've bookmarked this page, and after reseating goes through this summer, I'll post again to let you guys know where you can come hassle me next season for your free beer.
