A little Cougar talk

By Scott Wright

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.
