Obviously, the big news is that stud TE Jermaine Gresham is out for the BYU game. It would figure that it would take something like this to happen for ESPN to finally cover the Sooners, and they mentioned this injury on about a 10-15 minute basis yesterday. Here are some opinions on the matter:
- Dr. Saturday blog says to chalk up another one for "getting out while the gettin's good".
- Tulsa World recaps the entire situation and who will replace Gresham.
- The Norman Transcript says Gresham had no limp as of Tuesday evening.
- 4-6 weeks according to some people on this tennis message board.
- A good rundown on the entire process from this website, and it says there is usually an "activity restriction" of about 6 weeks with the surgery option (I guess if it's really that bad).
- This website seems to indicate that if you have surgery you'll be on crutches for a few weeks and then rehab will take awhile. If the injury is less severe, you could be back to normal pretty quick.
- Three months if you want to trust WikiAnswers.
Of course, we have no way of knowing how severe the injury is, and we have no idea if "cartilage damage" means a small problem, or a major tear. From all of the links above, it seems like the extent of the injury plays a big role in determining recovery time.
More stuff after the jump!
Murray In Midseason Form
Let's hope so. Here's a little gem from the Tulsa World:
"I don't know if he's full go, like he'd say, 'Hey I'm a thousand percent,' " said offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson. "But I think he's kind of at midseason form, whereas last year it took us until game six, seven or eight."
A Little Message For The Doubters of the Offensive Line
From Kevin Wilson:
"Let's see, right now we've got two fifth-year guys and two fourth-year guys starting. That's not bad for this rookie line we got"
Other News
- OU Women's Soccer, already with an unblemished 4-0 record, adds a talented player from England to their roster, starting tonight.
- Men's basketball released their 2009-2010 schedule. It includes trips to VCU, Gonzaga, Utah, and Kansas - all tournament teams last year. They also host Arkansas and Arizona in consecutive home games in Norman.
- Men's basketball picked up a transfer who will start playing in the 2010-2011 season, having to sit out a season for the transfer.

I have heard, pretty reliable, that the I knee already had some cartilage damage and the real question is there any more damage. If not they would just rest and treat to get inflamation down. If it is scoped and cleaned out it just depends on the person, as meniscus doesn’t provide stability.

Even us at Texas
Are wishing Gresham a full and speedy recovery. We hope to see him well in Dallas, even though that obviously makes OU more difficult to defend.

2 things
It sucks Gresham got hurt. I don’t think yall need to worry about BYU, but Miami should really be on your radar.
Why do you post/listen to anything Kevin Wilson says? Every player he talks about is the “best he has ever seen at OU”. Just rampant hyperbole.
after having two different incidents that caused me to have my knee caps replaced, I have had 8 other knee surgeries. Most of the surgeries have been for torn meniscus. I can tell you that it takes from 3 weeks to never to recover from it. The biggest problem is not the pain, pain can be dealt with. The problem is the fact that once in a while, you move wrong, and your knee just collapses. I personally think it is putting all your weight on the knee and turning at the same time that causes the knee to “give”, but that may just be me. I can walk all day with barely any sign of a limp, sit on the toilet the wrong way, and my knee will swell, and I can barely put any weight on it for three days.
SHOOOOOOOT IT!!!! Anon
