Earliest Hummel News

I go this from Tim Cary's Twitter feed. It appears that Robbie did not hear a "pop" when he fell in the first half.

I don't know what it means, but as far as I know it is the closest I have seen to a comment so far.

Also, this was taken on the plane after the game.

I can't take much from that, but at least its good to see that he is at least not in pain (also, it is Smooge's 21st tonight and it sounds like they're going to the Cactus. If you are on campus, please use this information wisely). However, here is what I think I know. If it isn't torn, I have no doubt that Robbie will find a way back. Don't forget that Robbie came back from a dislocated finger against Ohio State in about a minute earlier this year and played much of last year with a damn broken back. Hell, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if he went DeJuan Blair on us and just asked to have his ACL removed. He's tough. He'll be back.

Now please let it be this year.

Educated musings

Nice research! I had trouble sleeping last night thinking about his leg.
It looked like he had a brace or cold pack on that right knee, but hasn’t looked like he was in a lot of pain since he got off the floor. He seems to be able to bend it fairly well, but we haven’t seen it perfectly straight since the injury. Generally not a great sign and I don’t see him being a huge factor, if he plays, against MSU.

Glad I am not the only one who had trouble sleeping

I’m not supposed to care this much, right?

A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance

My hope

Is that his performance against MSU is our biggest concern. I hope this is not season ending and he will play against MSU at 75%. It will be karma for playing them with Lucas on a bum ankle and then we will all move on.

Hoping

For what it’s worth , I recently had an injury where I thought I blew out my knee. Heard a loud pop but it turned out to be a partial tear of the muscle connecting my calf to the back of my knee. It would be a week or 2 if that is the case. Just wishing and hoping on my part.
