Hearing some great news!

Is it the rumor about Phil… Is there truth to it?

if glass phil comes back behind the swiss cheese line i put the over/under at 6 quarters before he is broken again

If he plays, this will surely be a great test of HJS' "the team quit because of Grosel" agenda.

The team should un-quit and subsequently perform much better, no?

is the great news from within the program or the twitter rumors that have been going around for a few days.

Is this the long-awaited great news from Houston?

Back when this happened I looked up a pre-Jurkovec interview with a doctor who treated this type of injury. He talked about 6 weeks in a cast, and evaluation at that point with more recovery likely. Prognosis as I recall was up to ten or twelve weeks depending on the break and how it healed.

I think Jurkovec's surgery was on Monday 9/13. So Monday 10/25 was the 6-week mark. I think today would be Day 53, 7.5 weeks post-surgery. Back then I thought this was the absolute earliest he would play, but only if BC were in the hunt for the ACCCG.

But maybe Hafley and Jurkovec's interests align such that they accept risk and he plays. Hafley obviously wants to stop the bleeding and let Cignetti run his offense. This season has served as "proof of concept" because recruits can envision a better QB hitting those throws, scoring off those directly and stretching the field for everything else. If Jurkovec wants to enter the draft THIS spring, then he needs to show himself on game film reading defenses and completing passes at every level. I would imagine more film is better if the risk of reinjury doesn't change. If he does reinjure himself then he's more likely to come back next year, but playing now means he has a more meaningful choice.

and, more importantly, does adidas make a bc maroon pool noodle that he can use to cover his still tender wrist

I have not seen anything on the twitter machine and it is not from WEEI (I guess they reported that he was going to play this morning) but now I hearing game time decision.

I had this injury earlier this year. At 7 weeks they xrayed me and said I wasn't at any more risk than anyone else to break it again but pain tolerance would be the issue. I golfed and played baseball with a brace - it hurt like hell but I could do them. Obviously was not playing d1 football QB. I imagine they wrap the shit out of it, hand off an awful lot, and he's on some pain meds if he can play. I'd be really surprised at 7 weeks. That said before I saw anything on twitter about it i heard a rumor from inside the program about it, so it isn't complete smoke.

Where is the bone?

Radial. I guess I never saw if they announced which bone he broke. But I had pain on both sides through the range of movement.

unless it's the ultimate decoy

Watching Dennis Grosel go 10/23 for 116 yards with the words “For Welles” on his back will be deeply hurtful to everybody that knew Welles Crowther

is my depth perception off or does it appear that glass phil's jersey does not have pads under it while the 3 blind mice jerseys do.

look forward to ben the raper telling me that was the point of the picture

Those numbers are a little hard to read. I'm not confident we'll even know which QB is in the game at any given time.

see the qorporal can be funny!

Phil throwing pregame

Lets hope it's all him. BC F'ball showing DG on social media tho.

Looks like Sebastian and Maitre not playing

Wearing cleats and eye black.

46. I bet the under. I don't think its possible for BC's defense to hold VPI to under 24 points. So I hope Phil plays and I hope I lose my bet.

No Vrabel again

Good.

Now don't "break" anything.

IF BC passing game is actually decent tonight, the defense needs to step up. Can't waste the guy coming back and rejuvenating the airgame by allowing Va Tech to get more than 5.5 yards a play.

In order to raise awareness, I have begun to drink. Back to the old mainstay of Whistlepig rye and I’ll be shifting to bourbon barrel ales at halftime. If Hansen is inside the stadium and not smashed into the back wall of a toilet stall and therefore able to check the board, I hope he reports in wkth his beverage of choice.
