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

You mean besides Otule?

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

I heard he tried, but Mayo left him hanging.

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.

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.

Next man up mentality.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 · « **Reply #42 on:** August 02, 2013, 09:22:18 AM »

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