Around SBN: Troubled Yankees Join Troubled Red Sox In Last Place

According to Ron Gould at the Cal-Wazzu Hoops Party (we don't know whether the coaching staff knew about the injury beforehand, that's all the info he revealed). TwistNHook will have a full report pretty photos of the event later, but we'd just thought we'd let you know. (It's unconfirmed whether he played with an extra set of balls, but we wouldn't be surprised.)

For now, our hoops team is in first place. Scroll down or click here to discuss this developing story!

I'm not a medical whiz

so how serious is a torn meniscus? I would guess a torn anything would be pretty serious but he was able to play those games and played really well.

What did i tell you...didn't I say they would win? Yeah that's right I did didn't ? Wait.. what? They LOST?!?!?

it’s bad, with potential to be as bad as an acl or mcl. when kendrick tore his meniscus, i had to drive his ass around cause he couldnt even put weight on his leg.

I had that and it fucking HURTS! I mean, SERIOUSLY hurts. I can’t believe he played with it.

I tore mine after getting in a motorcycle accident. Every time I tried to straighten my knees, or if I inadvertently moved them from side to side, I not only screamed, a tear rolled down my cheek. It really, really hurts.

I noticed he looked really slowed against Utah.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Shane.

It’s been my fear that we actually aren’t too deep (in terms of bodies, basically) at RB. An injury next year…and Briggs may not even RS. Let’s hope Yarnway and Vereen are all good to go… DeBo looks promising too. It’ll be fun to see how the carries are split next year. Got a great feeling (buy low — sell high!)

How are we not deep at RB?

by atomsareenough on Feb 13, 2010 7:39 PM PST up reply actions  

no kidding. I’m looking forward to seeing Yarnway, DeBo, and Briggs all carry the ball – just to see what they can do!

Yeah, he definitely looked slow in the Poinsettia bowl.

good luck Shane... godspeed

now why was it that we didn’t spell him as much after Best got hurt, again?

Some of the media guys were talking about a rumored injury to Vereen during the Poinsettia Bowl

None of us could figure out what it was, though…we thought maybe it was an ankle injury. This must have been the true source of that rumor.

Shane doesn’t need no stinkin’ meniscus to to beat Stanfurd!

All our RBs were banged up this year

Yarnway: out before the season started
Best: Injured vs OSU but banged up earlier in the year
Vereen: Torn meniscus, regular bumps and bruises
Deboskie: Hand injury midway through the season, had surgery a few weeks ago
Langston Jackson: Undisclosed injury, but was on the shelf for a good part of the season

No wonder why Sofele was moved over to the RB spot.

Sheesh.

by Cali49a on Feb 13, 2010 4:46 PM PST reply actions  

Deboskie was injured too? No wonder we never got any carries.

Yep. I didn’t hear about this until recently. He was playing injured most of the season.

by Cali49a on Feb 13, 2010 5:06 PM PST up reply actions  

Langston was a hand/wrist injury…

Yes, I attended this event this morning. Speeches by Greg Gottlieb, asst. b-ball coach, Ron Gould, asst f-ball coach, and Sandy. Greg Gottlieb didn’t offer a lot of inner knowledge, but did talk about how a successful football team can really help with recruiting. Probably vice versa, too.

Gould spoke at length about the recruiting class. He was extraordinarily excited. I’ll have more on this early next week. He’s been there for 14 years! Thats very impressive. People are very high on Lupoi as a recruiter, but Gould seemed very good at recruiting too. He convinced me that Cal was going to be great next year, that is for sure!!!

Sandy spoke about more general topics. She said there were no decisions made on whether to cut women’s golf/women’s tennis. She guessed that there would be no Pac12, bc it wouldnt work out financially. And she said they were close to picking a 2011 football stadium. Interesting stuff.

I’ll have more soon.

as usual..a question

Has Shane had arthroscopic surgery to repair the meniscus? I tore mine a few years ago and had a great recovery…was running 4 weeks post op, so hopefully he will be OK

God. DAMN.

I had to have my meniscus scoped in ‘07 and I don’t lift anything heavier than money or liquor. Vereen has the nuts God gave a wooly mammoth – this is a fact, and it is indisputable.

I wonder if those gargantuan testicles altered his running style, thus tearing his meniscus….

Odd, my dad had a partially torn meniscus for a long time this past year. It was almost pain free at times which is what made it very difficult to diagnose. Had to have surgery.
