Duane is a true Warrior
« on: February 11, 2018, 04:11:30 AM »
Duane Wilson has shown tremendous heart and courage in playing through a partially torn ACL. He went down again yesterday in the TAMU game against Kentucky. Seeing him walk off the floor in pain was difficult. The Young Man is giving it his all in his last season a true warrior. They always mention MU when the announcers give his story.

I have tuned into A&M games this year because of Duane.  Continues to represent our university incredibly well.  Will root for him at A&M and beyond.

Duane is a great kid, and as Herman said, a true warrior. I hope he can recover from his injury.

A 5th year senior playing through a partially torn ACL.  He epitomizes selflessness and what it means to be a Warrior.

Was at the game last night. Duane went down not just once but twice. Honestly embarrassed by Coach Kennedy. I don't care if Duane says he wants to play on the injury, he should have been shut down.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I always like Duane's play.  He would have shown great leadership this year.

The flu can be anything from a minor inconvenience to a deadly illness.

Personally, I have had the flu where I just felt achy and tired for a couple of days (and I often work out when I'm a little sick to try to "sweat out" the virus)...and I have had it where I was in bed for five days.

Theo is a tough kid - I'm guessing he was feeling pretty bad if he's missed two big games.

I rarely get sick.  Maybe a cold that makes me feel bad for a couple days.  I haven't had to have a day off due to illness in a couple of years.

The last time I had the flu however, I was out for entire week.  It was awful.  The last couple days was all about recovery - rehydration, getting calories back into me, and sleeping.  Even though I was back at work the next week, it was another week after that before I felt completely recovered.

So John missing a couple games with the flu is completely reasonable.

This is ridonkulous. These kids all want playing time. I have a hard time envisioning Wojo telling TJ "We need you out there today" and TJ responding, "I don't wanna go, I'm still a little achy coach." Geez.

Happened this week against Auburn as well. His knee is clearly shot

Yeah, I'm fine calling out Wojo - he's getting paid 7 figures to do what he does - and he's the one ultimately responsible for the product we see. Let's refrain from calling out the heart of 18 year olds though eh?

I would love for you to have that conversation with Theo....though I'm guessing he has more class than you so he'd probably just chuckle.  Keep calling out kids on the Internet while hiding behind a screen name...classy.

Yeah sorry then why is he even on the bench if he is so bad?  Then he should be in the hotel room with an IV in his arm.  Suck it up and try at least.  I hope this doesn't tell us a lot about theo.  Sam and Markus and probably others were sick also.

What have we become when we go after teenagers with the flu?  Shame on you all.  Pathetic.   Jesuits completely failed with you.

Yes, the team could have used Duane.  He felt his future was elsewhere.

I believe the reason we didn't see Theo is 'turd avoidance'.  Flu can be nasty and unpredictable.  I remember MU/ND at the arena years ago and Kelly Trepuka kept running off the court into the locker room.  Had an IV at halftime but squirts persisted into the late 2nd half.  Almost felt sorry for him, but then...,
