Man they can't catch a break. I hope they can both heal up for next year.

[BigBadBen]

Bad news for the bears. Hate to hear that.

[Poohness]

I feel bad for them. I hope they heal up and are ready for next year.

[legelegel]

And they have lost their second string QB for at least for awhile. This news is not good at all.

[orangeo]

That sucks for them. I really think it good for the Big 12 for teams like Baylor and Iowa State to get better and offer a little competition. Hopefully, it won't completely crater Baylor's season.

The question will always be: "Should a Barry play ahead of a Thurman."

[andyokstate]

Oh no! I really like watching Griffin play. He's a true lightning in a bottle type of player. I hope they both heal quickly.

[Verb]

That's a real shame. Their hearts must be broken, and the team's heart, too.

The question will always be: "Should a Barry play ahead of a Thurman."
Funny you ask. I remember Thurman's last year Barry actually averaged more yards per carry than Thurman. I attributed it to the defense being tired when Barry got in the game. Was I ever wrong!:(

[Tiny]

You can't go wrong playing a Barry or a Thurman!

I was watching some of the BU game, and heard that he went out, but they didn't have any information on the severity of the injury at that time.

[legelegel]

I would say this injury will certainly end his dream of any further Olympic track competition, but I believe he probably ended that dream at the 2008 Olympic trials when he placed 5th in his second heat running a 49.38 in the 400 meter hurdles.

If he thought he was going to be Olympic caliber in three years, he probably should have passed on a football career. Football is just too much risk for one's wheels.

That's Robert in the white.

This is Robert praying to the heavens that football would not make him a one sport athlete or end all his athletic dreams.

Like Verb said, it's a real shame when any athlete goes down for a long time with a knee, ankle, shoulder, head or neck injury.
