    You admitted to not watching a Texas ou game. You have lost the privilege to make demands in the ou thread.

Well, it’s true. We’ve played each other twice. I’d rather have seen that spot go to A&M.

Can you imagine the bitching from aggy if their 3 permanent games were Texas, LSU and OU?

Hopefully taking NSAIDs instead of Tylenol. Don’t need any extra retard strength out there when we play.

Mateer is not playing against Texas. This is silly.

Exactly this. Talked to a coworker (who is an OU grad) yesterday and he said, "Yeah, there's no way Mateer plays. Recovery time is not just 3-4 weeks. He might be out for more like 6 weeks. If he tries to play in the Cotton Bowl he'll reinjure his hand. I'm fully prepared to lose to Texas again with Hawkins." At least he's honest.

It's so obvious he won't play in the Texas/OU game.  Why would OU risk the rest of their season and BV's job for one game?

I know, I know, it's THE game, but he goes out there in Dallas, gets re-injured and they lose anyway, now you're relying on Michael Hawkins against South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Bama, Missouri, LSU

6-6/5-7 would be staring them in the face, with a Venables firing looming. He isn't going to survive that.

5-0 going into Dallas, punt the Texas game, 5-1 with Mateer healthy and they really just need to go 4-2/3-3 and BV is secure.

The commentary I have seen is that basically after a couple weeks he can't injure it worse, it's just a matter of if he can grip and throw realistically. I would guess he returns for OU's home game vs. Ole Miss, and that the game-winning play in the Cotton Bowl is made by a defensive player, not either QB.

Mizzou will be tough enough for aggy if Drink stays there. But, he'll probably be at UF unless Kiffin takes it.

AS much as OU fans would hate that, this is the right call for Brent. I bet he'd rather lose to us with Hawkins and get Mateer back a week or two after once the Sooner schedule gets tough. If Mateer plays us and gets reinjured and they lose, no way does Hawkins beat a majority of their remaining opponents and Brent would be fired.

This is also assuming zero practice time heading into Texas/OU, even if they tried to play him. It's absurd.

Drink to UF makes more sense.  Kiffin has lower pressure with similar money at Ole Miss. 

Yeah no way Mateer practices the next few weeks. He's gotta rest up and wait til he's medically cleared. Although wouldn't surprise me if OU medically clears him just to try and win Red River.

Ian Boyd posted that the surgery stabilizes the thumb, and that there really isn’t much risk of worsening the injury after a couple of weeks. It comes down to whether he can grip and throw the football. That may take more time. Or not. 

Mateer also has a sprained knee. That could use some rest, too. 

I think there is a good chance Mateer can play. I don’t know how much of a chance there is that he doesn’t play. 

In2009, the Sooners rushed Bradford back from a first week knee sprain to play in the RRS. He worsened the injury, missed the rest of the season and still went 1-1 in the draft. OU needed to win that game to have a hope of making the BCS CG. This year, they can make the CFP with a loss to Texas, but would need Mateer in good shape for their stretch run. 

But they really, really want to beat Texas.

 
Maybe it depends on who makes the decision- Nagy or Venables?

Bradford didn't have a sprained knee, he had a dislocated shoulder, and after Williams tackled him he broke his collar bone. Holy shit, Ian Boyd is a fucking moron.

I just saw this. If the recovery time is a month, minimum, then how is there not risk in playing him before it's healed? Hell, get him out there at practice now and shoot him up with painkillers if that's the case.

Yeah, that's why I think Kiffin stays. Ole Miss alums have deep pockets, and their NIL program is solid. His family loves Oxford, so what's his motivation to leave? Less pressure, comparable money.

Aaron Williams gave Bradford a smallpox-infected blanket before the game.

Kiffin has tried to leave Ole Miss but for a better 'scene'.  He really wanted the Miami job per coaching circles.  Doubt Gainesville does much for him compared to Oxford.

I don't know who said it has to be a month minimum.  It was nondisplaced so you're fixating it with instrumentation to actually make sure it stays nondisplaced.  So if the surgical swelling/pain go down, you're not risking much injury if the surgeon feels it's stable.  Again, I do pain and rehab but work closely with orthos including blackhawks/chisox/bulls back in the day and you'd be amazed how much shit wasn't disclosed back then for lesser procedures.

Pete Thamel is talking to Mateer's camp. Ian Boyd is just making shit up based off of some other injury to someone else at some other time. This isn't the injury that Goff had or sources with knowledge would be saying the same shit the dum dums like Boyd are. It's now just become fact that the dude is fine in 2 weeks and then needs to deal with the pain. It's Internet stupidity at its finest.

BPC157 for joint pain is amazing.  If you have other issues shoot me a PM and happy to make a suggestion with the disclaimer you should always see your actual doc before taking anything, ha.

I'd definitely agree here.  I'm just talking about injuries in general, nobody really knows except Mateer and his surgeon.  I highly doubt they're giving all the details to anyone in the media.

Nah, nothing specific. I don't have any joint pain, yet. I just have heard that IV peptides are basically the new version of HGH. Curious what other stuff folks are taking just to feel better, etc. Figured I'd ask a doctor since the topic came up.

To be clear, my post was made while you were posting, so I wasn't trying to address or question a medical practitioner, either. You got my point outside of that, I just didn't want to come across as any more of a pompous imbecile than I normally do. 

Allegedly what Thamel's been told is Mateer thinks one month, but that might be ignoring the notion of a few weeks of rehab. He's obviously a pretty tough guy, so I wouldn't bet against Ole Miss, but if the team fares well ahead of that and he's in pain and needing rehab, staying out through the off week in prep for what looks like 3 really tough games wouldn't be the dumbest move.

Based upon life experiences, whenever you are given an absolute such as "can't injure worse"  whomever said that is lying, a dumbarse, or both because short of death or loss of a limb/function etc.....no injury is at a rock bottom level.

Of course it will.  Means nothing. 

Remember, Ewers was questionable on the SEC injury report for both ULM and MSST last year. 

We knew he wasn't going to play in either of those games. 

The dude isn’t playing in 15 days. Who cares about the injury report.

People (Texas fans) are going to fret about it, up until kickoff, and even then, be convinced Mateer will come in after OU goes down 2 TDs and lead them on a comeback.  Even if he's not suited up.

Sure, fair, and I considered making a similar point. I guess I took it to mean something along the lines of “no statistically significant risk beyond the baseline risk of playing football”.

Exactly, the Texas fan base is going to worry the whole week leading up to it, the OU fan base will too because they will be delusional enough to think someone if going to recovery and risk it that fast.

Guilty as charged, admittedly I don't think I'll ever mentally recover from 2021 Caleb Williams game, after it was instant TD.

 

Yall are crazy. Ou is not beating Texas with a healthy mateer playing his best game. Can he keep it within 3 tds sure. But that mfer ain’t beating my horns. We play defense too.

Understand, I should also say I can't recall a situation where the first person to apply such logic to an injury is the person who actually is the person who has the injury and must weigh the value of their playing over the potential cost of a more significant or permanent injury. 

With 2 seconds left in the 4th, we’ll take the timeout on 2nd down and kick the FG for a 52-0 win.

This board does a pretty good job of accurately predicting most everything.  So it’s likely Tow Mater throws foen400 that day in a shootout
