Purdue QB Rob Henry tears ACL
Per a tweet by Joe Schad, Rob Henry tore his ACL. Tough break for Purdue as Henry was supposedly the favorite to start and Marve had the same injury last season.

Clearly they need to put up a bigger shrine to the ACL god because he's PISSED.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
This is an opponent for our homecoming game...so this is very ON-TOPIC
August 24th, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
I seriously don't get why OT even matters at all. Does the 3 seconds that it saves you from actually reading the thread title and determining if it interests you really make a difference? For example, I see that Tigers/Rays thread below is OT - but I don't need that to know that the content doesn't relate to UofM sports
And I don't mean you personally - just a peeve of mine in general
August 24th, 2011 at 5:08 PM ^
I'm with you. If the title is clearly OT then putting OT is redundant. It drives me crazy when people go into the thread to state that it is OT, which is a bigger waste of time for everyone that reads that comment than the extra milisecond seeing OT might have saved someone that doesn't automatically read a short title anyway.
If the title is unclear or might be mistaken for being on-topic that's when the OT tag shoudl be used.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
...and if the title is unclear or might be mistaken for being on-topic then the OP needs a new title, because actually clicking on a thread and expecting something else is fucking annoying
August 24th, 2011 at 6:56 PM ^
Yeah: it's really "fucking annoying" to click onto a thread that says "Detroit Tigers" on it and not find any University of Michigan basketball news.
August 24th, 2011 at 8:55 PM ^
I think you need to re-read my post. If I clicked on something titled "Tigers/Rays open thread", and it wasn't a thread about a Tigers/Rays game, I would be fucking annoyed. Comprende?
August 24th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
August 24th, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^
My point is that OT is unnecessary if people would use descriptive thread titles. It would be easy to determine what is or isn't Michigan related with informative titles

I'm returning some pants, I slip in some mud and ruin the very pants I was returning.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
Seems like this happens to Purdue every year.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
Danny can't catch a break.
Is there NO chance Marve is going to get DQ'd due to the Miami (YTM) mess? I thought I saw Purdue say he's free and clear, but if he was taking improper benefits, that doesn't taint him the rest of his college career? If Cam's dad was getting juiced for him to go to Auburn last year, he could have transferred again and played at the other place? That doesn't seem legit to me... but oh well it IS the NCAA.
Point is, they are now one bad piece of news out of South Florida away from having NO legit quarterback. (Of course that sounds familiar to us, circa 2008.)
August 24th, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
according to dennis dodd (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/15469158/ncaas-limited-i…) certain players, such as marve were given limited immunity so to testify to the ncaa so the ncaa could really go after miami. good news for marve. not so much for miami.

Now apologize for your ignorance.

Geez, that sucks. Who's their QB now?
August 24th, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
I hear Robbie Hummel will be taking over at QB now, just to make sure that the new QB won't tear his ACL.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Well they have a pretty good recruit named Russell Bello....oops, nevermind.
August 24th, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
I'm mad at Danny Hope for resembling my damn avatar. Geriatric smackdown a'coming.
August 24th, 2011 at 11:04 PM ^
Keep rockin' it, Brimley. Don't let any vague resemblences to Danny Hope weigh you down. Just keep eatin' your oatmeal and fighting diabetes. Our country is a better place because of your gruff voice and flabby jowls.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
And thank them for the bad genes.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
I feel terrible for Danny Hope and Co. The fact that stuff like this keeps happening to their team has to be taking a mental toll.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
I feel bad for "and Co."
Hope... not so much.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
I guess the torn ACL elephant is still their mascot.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
On the Island of Misfit Mascots?
August 24th, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
Make me a Sad Panda.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
Purdue's bad injury luck is staggering. It even extends to basketball.
August 24th, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
They've been nearly as snakebitten as UCLA when it comes to injuries. Hope Henry recovers.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
lol wow.. Is this like the 5th key player to tear an ACL in the last 2 seasons?
If marve gets hurt they are in serious trouble
August 24th, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
Que the obligatory pissed off Danny Hope pic
August 24th, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
Queue: put in a line
cue: a signal
que: spanish for "what"
August 24th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
At what point does this turn from bad luck to a trend? It's like they dive straight for each other's knees in practice.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Purdue did have a rep as a dirty chop-blocking team under Joe Tiller. Perhaps that's still the case (although that still might not explain why the QBs are getting hurt).
August 24th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Reporter: "Hey Danny how's the quarterback situation... Do you think you'll need to use true freshman Russell Bellomy this year...urr...wait...?"
Danny Hope:
August 24th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
Wowza. That's awful.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
I feel horrible for the kid. What a string of awful luck.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
Purdue's signature injury strikes again. I feel a bit sorry for them though - they cannot catch a break in West Lafayette.
August 24th, 2011 at 6:10 PM ^
Thanks, I'll show myself out.
August 24th, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
Bellomy's knees are so happy he's in Ann Arbor.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
Perry the ACL-ephant must have a penchant for guys named Rob that play for Purdue? Hummel, Marve, and now Henry? Good thing Rob Bolden went to Penn State I guess.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
The silver lining is that he's only a sophomore. He's got plenty of time to get back on the field.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
Can she play?
August 24th, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
August 24th, 2011 at 5:24 PM ^
The stadium will have ads for orthopedic surgeons now too.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Jeez, they've had a terrible string of unfortunate occurrences the past couple years. Danny Hope just can't catch a break.
August 24th, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
August 24th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
There has to some aspect of purdue's S&C program that is causing this rash of ACL injuries. Or perhaps players are showing up to training camp completely out of shape, which is what happened in the NFL after the lock out.
