Mayo Surgery

[DegenerateDish]

Todd Mayo has had meniscus surgery, no timetable for return given.

[tower912]

This might explain why he missed some of the Scion games.

[bilsu]

Also, why you need 13 scholarship players.

[LAMUfan]

big question is if its a repair or meniscectomy, huge difference in recovery time... repair being the longer

MUBB is saying he will be back for the regular season.

Hopefully it will help his jump shot

[Galway Eagle]

Not a big deal I had that done in September and still made it to training camp for a fight in February when I was 18

[LAMUfan]

Agree, not a huge deal then, sounds like a menisectomy, just pain, swelling, etc.  post.

A boot? Please, let there be a boot.

[LAMUfan]

haha, probably not.... unless that's just standard marquette post surgery gear 

[forgetful]

If I was Mayo I would demand a boot.  They just look cool.

Had a torn meniscus repaired 3 years ago at 63.  No problem...back to normal Ina month.

would he be able to go to Buycks' party in a boot?  Does that meet the dress code?

[frozena pizza]

I'd have him sit until the pajama jammy anyway.

[mr.MUskie]

It's automatic for everything from a hangnail to brain surgery.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

As long as it doesn't have a rubber sole, I think you are good.

Plus, you get into the VIP area automatically if you are in a wheelchair. Not many people know that.

[tower912]

I was back fighting fires 17 days after I got mine done.   But it didn't feel completely pain free for almost a year. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

Get well soon Todd.  This is your year to shine.

[4everwarriors]

Is the surgery bein' done at the Mayo Clinic?

[4everwarriors]

Maybe he should get a second opinion from that world class ortho dude in Indianapolis that Coach Clover is tight with.

[Jay Bee]

Amazed at how well people are taking this news. Other programs would look at Steve Taylor and Todd Mayo having surgery, not to mention Vander's early departure from MU.. and be singing 'woe is me'. I think the unbelievable amount of injuries and other odd happenings for this program over the past several years has built up a tolerance to bad news for a lot of people. Which is good in many ways.

Best wishes for Todd in his recovery and also to ZFB who is considering surgery this fall as well (sequential hermaphrodite).

I think it is also a reflection of the confidence many of us have. This is going to be a DEEP team.

[JakeBarnes]

Scoop as a population has failed for not overhearing a Buzz/Mayo conversation outside of the Al about his knee.

Buzz did give him a slap of five on the way into the OR.

Refresh my memory.......what were the unbelievable amount of injuries again in the past few years again?

[Sir Lawrence]

You mean besides Otule?

[We R Final Four]

Completely healthy all of last year, no?

[forgetful]

I heard he tried, but Mayo left him hanging. 

[Jay Bee]

I said, "I think the unbelievable amount of injuries and other odd happenings for this program over the past several years has built up a tolerance..."

Didn't say injuries only and didn't say past few years.

Nonetheless, I'm not going to give you a history lesson.

The last year has been calmer than normal, but you still had the unusual "transfer out, transfer in" players (Juan and Jake), Todd Mayo being out for the first semester, Juan Anderson's ~6 month rehab after offseason shoulder surgery leading up to the beginning of the season, Vander's knee injury at USC (that kept him out of action for a game) and a number of guys playing through injury during parts the season.

If you go back to prior year(s), the list becomes a lot longer.

Next man up mentality.

[MerrittsMustache]

Sounds like he's ready to take over Vander's role on the team!

First of all it does not appear to be a serious injury. Second of all if he cannot play it means more time for JJJ, Burton and Anderson.

[Galway Eagle]

Refresh my memory.......what were the unbelievable amount of injuries again in the past few years again?

Fulce's Knees, JFB concussion, Juan shoulder, McMorrow before even playing, Junior's ACL, D james' foot, vander had a concussion last year I believe too, Otule every time he's on the court, steve taylor leg, now mayo's knee. 

[We R Final Four]

The injury bug hits all teams at some point. To suggest that the injuries that have occurred to MU the last several years are 'unbelievable' is certainly overstating it. Jfb's concussion? What bad luck we have.

For the record I wasn't suggesting it was unbelievable (only years I think we were unbelievably unlucky was 08-09 and 09-10).  I was just listing injuries

Pretty rigid with your word definitions there, Tex. Hope you spent some time whining to yourself that there is no such thing as "the injury bug".

MU has had far more than its fair share of injuries and other odd happenings over the past several years. If you disagree, that's fine, you're wrong. If you agree, but just don't like using "unbelievable" to describe it, you're a whiner.

[MUMonster03]

For the record I wasn't suggesting it was unbelievable (only years I think we were unbelievably lucky was 08-09 and 09-10).  I was just listing injuries

Um 08-09 was when we were incredibly unlucky with James getting injured down the stretch costing us a shot at the league title and a deeper tournament run.

[MarsupialMadness]

Fulce's Knees, JFB concussion, Juan shoulder, McMorrow before even playing, Junior's ACL, D james' foot, vander had a concussion last year I believe too, Otule every time he's on the court, steve taylor leg, now mayo's knee. 

Stretching it out a little further ...

Diener's injury his senior year (right before tournament).
Desmond Mason injury the next year.
Jerel McNeal injured right before tournament.
Wesley Matthew injured right before tournament.
Dominc James injured during tournament.

We had some pretty bad injuries during pivotal points in the season over the last 10 years.

[MarsupialMadness]

Chris Grimm missed a few games, I believe.

[bilsu]

Chris Grimm missed a few games, I believe.

Grimm hurt his elbow.
Nobody mentioned Gardners shoulder as a freshmen. He missed 3 games and was not as effective afterwards.
Nobody mentioned Gardner's knee as a sophomore. He missed at least 7 games and dragged his leg around after that.

My bad I meant to type unlucky

[mileskishnish72]

What is the word on Steve, Jr. as to his projected return. I thought I saw something about the problem being something congenital as opposed to injury-related. Any news on his progress?

[BubbaWilliams]

A little off topic, but any word on Jae's knee injury with the Mavs?

Good work, PT.

Junior's Achilles no?  I could be wrong

[Galway Eagle]

Junior's Achilles no?  I could be wrong

Read again i mentioned that, it's what an ACL is

[mr.MUskie]

Read again i mentioned that, it's what an ACL is

An ACL is a ligament in your knee; your Achilles is at the back of your foot.

[GGGG]

An ACL is a ligament in your knee; your Achilles is at the back of your foot.

More specifically, a tendon that connects your foot to your calf muscle.

[Galway Eagle]

An ACL is a ligament in your knee; your Achilles is at the back of your foot.

Huh and I've thought they were the same thing my whole life. 

[Jay Bee]

Huh and I've thought they were the same thing my whole life. 

Yup. ACL = Achilles-Calf Tendon.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Yup. ACL = Achilles-Calf Ligament.

FIFY, dumbass.  Tendon doesn't start with L.   

[mileskishnish72]

Basically a ligament is connective tissue that connects bone to bone. A tendon connects muscle to bone. There's a little confusing mix-up of the terms referring to the front of the knee, but essentially it's all tendon, and the kneecap is just a big sesamoid bone ( a bone in tendon).

[willie warrior]

Man, this thread has morphed into a bashing of Holiday Inn staying medical malpractioners.

[4everwarriors]

FIFY, dumbass.  Tendon doesn't start with L.   

Depends on how y'all spell it, hey?

[ChicosBailBonds]

FIFY, dumbass.  Tendon doesn't start with L.   

Pretty sure Jay Bee didn't use teal, but didn't have to

[Jay Bee]

but essentially it's all tendon, and the kneecap is just a big sesamoid bone ( a bone in tendon).

A bone in what? Do you have a bone in your butt? Or is it all the pelvis that's really a bone throughout a region such that there is no bone in your butt (unless you're ZFB on most Thursday through Sunday nights)?

Did you guys know Dejuan Blair has no achilles? Pretty crazy

[brandx]

Did you guys know Dejuan Blair has no achilles? Pretty crazy

Your gonna really confuse people now

It would be interesting to watch someone play with no Achilles though - foot floppin' around and all.

[4everwarriors]

Derrick Rose plays without an ACT.

[4everwarriors]

Blair sans ACL.

[wildbillsb]

I pretty much play without a bone now.

[MUDPT]

If I'm a D1 basketball player or some dude that works in an office, I would rather tear my ACL than my Achilles.

[4everwarriors]

I pretty much play without a bone now.

Have you consulted a urologist?

[Lennys Tap]

I pretty much play without a bone now.

That can't be much fun.

[Wojo Era]

Derrick Rose plays without an ACT.

Second time I read this and laughed now.  Well played

[wildbillsb]

That can't be much fun.

You're telling me!  And, yes, 4, I have been in deep consultation with the good doctor.  His reply:  turn your head to the right and cough.......again.
