Say what you will about Maurice Clarett (am I actually gonna praise him?) but Mo gutted it out through his injuries and won games for OSU. He completely changed the game when he came back in against Michigan. Beanie has been pampered too long - ala Justin's comments above. <BR/><BR/>Sorry Justin, sometimes you just gotta play through it.

He doesn't want to use up his whole punchcard of hits on the college level, especially with the NFL CBA on the table soon.<BR/><BR/>Here's wishing him luck. When he was on the field for the Bucks, he was a dominant top level player. Unfortunately, we are left with that image of him on the sidelines and the taste of another Ginn-like disapointing end to his college career for what should have been a Hiesman and National Championship winner.<BR/><BR/>Bring on Boom Herron and Brandon Saine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493909940305121744.post-69209959316996344832009-01-09T10:06:00.000-05:002009-01-09T10:06:00.000-05:00Hey, there is no jokes when it comes to concussion...Hey, there is no jokes when it comes to concussions.

I forget who OSU was playing, but, on the play where Wells was injured, he just dropped the ball. It was right next to him on the ground, but he made NO attempt to recover it, as he sat grabbing at his foot. The other team recovered his fumble. It didn't make any difference given the opponent, but I was taken with his total disinterest in going after the ball. His ENTIRE focus was on the pain in his foot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493909940305121744.post-46994431982610995062009-01-09T09:41:00.000-05:002009-01-09T09:41:00.000-05:00i used to work at the akron beacon journal when he...i used to work at the akron beacon journal when he was in high school. beat writer said he had a reputation for faking an injury when he got hit hard enough....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493909940305121744.post-44914471014106359402009-01-09T09:34:00.000-05:002009-01-09T09:34:00.000-05:00I wonder what really happened to him in the Texas ...I wonder what really happened to him in the Texas game. The coverage was so bad, I don't remember ever seeing a play/the play during which he was injured. I do remember seeing him get up from a long run, make a quick grab at his hamstring, and wince. After that play, not so much from Beanie. I have to wonder if he tweaked his hammie, worried about his pro dollars, and said, "no mas."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493909940305121744.post-48212632875839046452009-01-09T09:11:00.000-05:002009-01-09T09:11:00.000-05:00You could hear a collective sigh from Buckeye fans...You could hear a collective sigh from Buckeye fans when he went to the bench in the second half.

For example, who needs another LaDanian Tomlinson when you can get a Darren Sproles with a lower pick?DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218200649387275404noreply@blogger.com
