Royster Sick

 

Wasn't sure how to report this, a shot or a post. But Evan Royster is "Sick..very sick" according to his facebook page. So I'm not sure what that means  as far as the long haul...if the team is about pass around ye'old Pig Flu or if Royster is just sick. But now we know that it doesn't look good for tomorrow....for him that is..I'm sure we'll still win...if not we've got bigger issues than that.

Now I need to get a few more words into this post..

well...

If we can’t beat Temple without Royster, then I think we have bigger things to worry about.

He’s proven himself, and if Beachum or Dukes can exploit the opportunites afforded by our O-line, then Royster sure as hell can as well.

Quarantine him and tell him to get well soon.

They just don’t need him this year unless we get smited (smote?) by angry Iowa running-back hating god.

I’m not saying we need him, I’m just saying I’d like to see another bruising back with the number 26 ASAP.

College sick is different than adult sick

How many people here posted on their Facebook status (or AIM away message, or whatever you old heads did before either of those? Dry erase boards on your dorm doors?) that you were “Sick…very sick” and proceeded to try and drink a 30 pack that very night? Also, it’s TempLOL (thanks RUTS, it will stick). Joe could put ME in at tailback and we’d still win by 35.

-1 for dry erase boards. One, they’re whiteboards, and two: the answer was post-it notes.

How old is an oldhead?

I’ve seen RUTS refer to himself on numerous occassions as an oldster yet I have him by half a decade. I know marriage and kids artifically age you, yet I’m still clinging to the last vestiges of cool I once had (I still have my electric bass and my old baseball jersey is around here somewhere).

Since my age is probably 2x the younger posters I guess I reluctantly have entered the oldhead stage of my posting life.

I don't actually believe that I'm old.

Only old compared to current students. I’m 34. Which, if I’m not mistaken, makes me younger than Grotto Mike by a year.

Another one I consider important to oldhead status is stories. Have you got em, and are they your own and not like one of JNitt’s? ;)

Not like Status means shite anyolehow. Do what you do when you do your do.

I'm honestly

scared to death about swine flu or even regular flu spreading through this team like wildfire. Look at all the other schools it’s happening to…feels like a matter of time.

Of course I’m a paranoid parent with two kids in daycare that get sick every other week.

I agree, and the whole locker room environment makes it scarier

I am also afraid since I have to get on airplanes for work almost every week.

On my flight last week

the Pilot assured the passengers that the air quality on the plane was better than what we are used to breathing.

But better safe than sorry. if I see a woman in the airport with a rebreather and a giant tank of O2 I’ll assume it’s you.

That pilot doesn't know what he is talking about

On a plane or in a crowded meeting, I wear a personal air purifier that keeps the 2-3 feet around my nose free of particles and the “germs” that reside on the particles.

I have sold many larger units for “dorm rooms” etc. kills H1N1, bird flu and takes out the odor of rotting pizza!

The pilot quoted some

CFM number as to how many times the air is turned over with fresh from outside. I’m sure now matter what they would do on a macro basis would trump wearing your own Darth Vader rig.

I will agree that the

exchange of fluids with random strangers might leave you with some unwanted micro oranisms hitching a ride.

In those cases I direct you to PaJoe and his Vader3000. If it doesn’t clear the air it will probably keep people a safe distance away.

I am excited to see Beachum

He seems most like the “power back” of the top 3 backs we have. His style will fit our weak line the best becuase he should be able to still get a few yards if blocking falls apart. It will be interesting to watch.

I don’t mind this and actually like the idea of Royster not playing at all… remember this is temple we’re playing tomorrow… I could start at tailback and PSU would still win…

this will give us a good look at the backups not named Stephfon Green in a meaningful game… I would love to see Carter and Beachum get most of the reps on Satureday…

What, you don't call him TheJay?

I thought 2008 erased all hostility toward Jay and replaced it with kittens and rose gardens.

The name JayPa never seemed quite right to me. I think while the feeling is stiil good we should all refer to our esteemed QB coach as TheJay.
