Orange and Blue Review

Aaah....Spring Game. We were unable to go, unable even to catch it on TV. If we had watched, we would have:

- Seen Carlos Dunlap get four sacks.

- Seen Caleb Sturgis hit a 60 yard field goal.

- Seen Chris Rainey having a monster day and earning a starting spot.

- Seen Moody disappoint. Hey man, we already have a fumble artist, and his name is Kestahn Moore.

- Not seen John Brantley Jr. do anything. Right after recovering from his shoulder injury, he hurt his throwing hand. What an injury magnet. This guy is going to give Percy Harvin a run for his money, as far as being consistently crippled goes.

Stomach Ailments

Ok, ok. It's basketball news, but too goofy to pass up. Memphis freshman Derrick Rose had a stomach problem that caused him to miss media sessions. He's still expected to play against Kansas for the title.

The response from his teammates:

"He eats Gummy Bears and Starburst for breakfast, and Twizzlers and Honey Buns for dinner. That's why his stomach hurts," fellow guard Chris Douglas-Roberts said. "We tell Derrick the whole year, 'Stop eating so many Gummy Bears and Sour Straws.' But he can't. ... Nobody eats Gummy Bears more than him."

Too many gummy bears? Jesus. Derrick Rose, you make Percy Harvin look like the model of health.

Surely, you jest.

Percy Harvin To Undergo Surgery

Percy Harvin needs surgery for his heel:

"It's just a bone, the heel bone," Meyer said. "It's really unique. They're having a hard time finding someone else who's had it."

Of course they can't find anyone else who's had this ailment. No, naturally. It makes perfect sense.

The Hits Keep Coming...

...this one for UCF. The Orlando Sentinel's Kyle Hightower notes that the Knights' would-be starting running back Philip Smith went down with a leg injury at practice:

The injury was to his left leg, but it was hard to tell whether it was a knee, break, etc. He wasn't putting any pressure on the injured leg, however.

Par for the course, man, par for the course.

Are You Suggesting That Injuries Migrate?

Percy Harvin's heel injury has now migrated to his knee, The Gainesville Sun Reports. Naturally. Of course. Why shouldn't Harvin have a migratory injury? He's got everything else short of necrotising faciitis. Quote the Sun:

“It's a heel injury and it's gone up into his knee,” Meyer said. “We had a specialist from North Carolina and two guys, a foot specialist from here, and also (head team physician) Dr. Pete (Indelicato). We're coming up with a plan and should have it in the next couple days.”

Harvin was bothered last season by what was thought to be tendonitis in his heel that spread to his knee. Meyer said the injury is not tendonitis, but is a bone issue that could be much more severe.

No, I understand. That makes perfect sense. Percy is unable to be healthy for more than a few weeks at a time.

Necrotising Faciitis: Perhaps the Only Ailment Percy Harvin has Never Had.

Percy Harvin is a Glass Cannon

Percy Harvin has hurt his heel and may miss Spring Practice. What a glass cannon. If you breath on this guy, he breaks.

Not that we don't love him, of course, and the fact that he seems to warp time when he runs.

Nonetheless, here is a guy who missed the South Carolina game with some truly staggering migraine headache. He suffered a hip pointer after the Ole Miss game. He's had Achilles tendinitis.

Let's go back to 2006-2007 shall we? Harvin injured his ankle against Tennessee. He was also knocked out of the FSU game with a neck injury with what was a memorable, memorable hit.
