FROM OSU ATHLETICS OFFICE

STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State University Department of Athletics has officially launched a fundraising campaign that seeks to increase the number of athletic donors to the POSSE, the official fundraising arm of OSU Athletics, to 10,000 members in 2009.A total of 8,058 members contributed to the POSSE last year, up from 5,911 members during the 2006-07 academic year. That increase represented a 36 percent jump in membership. Annual membership giving levels start at $150.  
 
“This is an exciting time to be involved with OSU Athletics,” POSSE Director Jason Penry said. “We have great momentum in our annual fundraising efforts and are grateful for the high level of participation in the POSSE from alumni, parents, fans, staff and friends of OSU.”

A little Cougar talk

Here’s a blurb from Howie Stalwick of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which discussed a recent injury to Washington State receiver Jeshua Anderson, who I wrote about in Monday’s OSU football notebook:

WULFF PEEVED: A number of projected starters and key reserves have missed practice with leg injuries – hamstrings are particularly popular – and Wulff has made it clear he has limited sympathy for some of the limping wounded.

“We need to make sure if a guy can practice, even though he’s nicked up, he needs to practice,” Wulff said. “We haven’t grasped that yet, I don’t think.”

Two players with injuries that could sideline them for the Aug. 30 season opener versus Oklahoma State in Seattle are projected starting wide receivers Jeshua Anderson (hernia) and Daniel Blackledge (hamstring).

Anderson is scheduled for surgery today. Wulff said “standard” recovery time from procedures of that type is six weeks.

SIX WEEKS?!?! Paul Wulff must be crazy. Or at least never had hernia surgery. I had mine four months ago this Friday and I still don’t feel like I’m ready to go across the middle against Lucien Antoine. It took me 10 weeks to feel comfortable swinging a golf club again.

Of course, Jeshua Anderson is probably a little tougher than I am. Still, one helmet to the midsection, and I don’t care how tough you are. It’s gonna hurt.
