Obi Ezeh - Arm Injury
While I was at Grand Woods Lounge in downtown Grand Rapids yesterday to watch the final four festivities, I noticed Obi was there as well partying. He had a soft cast on his left wrist. Has anyone heard about how serious this injury was? It didn't look extremely bad, as this is the hand he was consistently drinking his bud lite out of...
It's April. As long as he is 100 percent for the start of the season, it will be okay.
But what about us?
Ok, tasteless humor of the gallows variety considering the play last year. But seriously, I wish him all the best and speedy recovery.
I didn't know Budweiser got into the chocolate milk business. Makes sense - it is definitely a booming niche market here in MI. I guess the bud light version is 1% milk fat?
what?
It's apparently a failed (or just dumb) reference on my part to one of the more famous aspects of the Barwis Training Program:
"Barwis is equal parts old- and new-school. The old part: He believes in "Olympic movements," so his players perform a lot of power cleans and squats. Another old part: Don't tell the energy drink industry, but when his players finish their workout, he has them drink -- I kid you not -- chocolate milk.
Barwis is happy to explain how milk is the best delivery system for casein and whey, the proteins your body needs after a workout. The chocolate syrup replenishes glucose. But he also can explain it in a way that any former kindergartener can understand.
"It's pretty simple," Barwis said. "What did you drink when you were a baby? When did you grow faster than that? Never did. Evidently, Mom and Dad knew right in the first place."

Go Blue!
happens when you have a tendency to tackle air!
I got the impression such injuries happened if you develop a tendency to do the opposite. Air doesn't hit back.
I'll unveil my relentless optimism and conclude that this is a sign of Obi's progress.
I think they're going to have to amputate.
Barwis should have them drinking Guinness.
that he's got them doing endurance work with light weights for hours on end. That's the kind of stuff that pays of in the fourth quarter!

soft cast? It doesn't sound like a big deal at all. It is only April. Heck, he still has two weeks until the spring game. The season is still four months away. He will be just fine.
I don't remember seeing anything written about him this spring. It would be nice to have some LB depth
Rivals hinted at some serious injury that will affect the two-deep on defense. They said Rodriguez would probably discuss it this week, but I don't know who they were referring to. I wouldn't think they were talking about Ezeh because they said the player isn't a starter, and Ezeh would probably be considered a starter.
He can't hit anything, so he has to... yeah.
Hopefully he got it by actually hitting a offensive player. But seriously we still have two whole weeks until the spring game so if he's still out then we can be concerned.
...it is usually writer's cramp.
Yeah, I was hanging out at the park and saw Tate in a wheel chair. It should be all good though....
He has arms? I always assumed he didn't, seeing as he never put them on anybody he played against!
...than flaccid.
it was still enough to arouse the blogosphere.

If I were a player, I'd put on the occasional brace or wrap just to mess with people on here.
