new thread up for Tuesday answers a few questions such as travel.
and Mitchem.
But to HCF. YES IT IS THAT BAD. this was not a normal fracture. Something you just don’t tape and suck it up. She had surgery and multiple pins in it. Pins removed but it will always be ugly.
She hasn’t practiced until this morning. while she has conditioned, not the same as practice reps. They’re not going to use her if she is a liability.
Besides it’s not her decision or the team’s. The doctor has to clear her.

as for Maglio, he said he was a little surprised probably because he didn’t think he’d get both middles. Also that since Maglio was subbed out for Mitchem, thought maybe she didn’t have enough games-played.

#59 Be too. Shoji needs to look at the stats. Maglio has been steadily improving and starting to show dominance. Emily is right there at the very top. Future at MH position is very bright. Maglio and Mitchem are going to be two studs next year, along with Burns. Natasha is very interesting because she is so long and athletic with quick feet. If she can put on several pounds of muscle, she may end up being unstoppable.

Surprised that coach Dave was surprise by Maglio All Conference selection.

My question is: Is Mitchem’s finger that bad? At this point in the season, TONS of players are bandaged up, looking like mummies. You even see some hands almost completely wrapped up and fingers looking 3 times the size in bandages.

This is the post season and this team has a chance. No way she can play? It must be more that a broken pinkie. Or maybe she might not be willing to take cortisone shots or something. That’s legal right? I know a lot of footballers take shots to help them get through big games. I can’t see the pinkie being so damaged that she could hurt it that much more by playing through it.

This is all JMHO. I have no idea what is really going on and how bad it is. All I’m saying is this is the playoffs. Everyone is banged up. Those who can play, will be playing. Annie could really help us win the whole thing this year.

Grew up in Texas, don’t get me started on “Aggie Jokes”! The Aggies are legendary for their military-style esprit d’corps.

#48 Yeah, TCU was hitting over both of Texas short 5′ 7″ setter Cloe Collins and the 5′ 9″ left outside hitter Amy Neal. Interestingly, Texas has kept both of these “short” players playing the same starting positions throughout the season – and opponents are still hitting over them. Yet, Texas is at 25-2 with #11 seed. So clearly, being tall with a bigger block is something some coaches will give up in order to get a player who can do other things better. The same short 5′ 9″Amy Neal just got the Big 12 Player of the Year.

#50 Totally agree! In the past tournaments, they tend to become shell shock when other teams play “tougher” resulting in our players giving up easy points in bunches. Shoji appears to have already begun “toughing” up his team. Had previously posted that I attended five of the last six matches in So. CA. Watched Shoji just ride the players hard demanding perfection with everything – and after every play or so it seem. To me, it was over the top. It was not that the players were playing poorly but rather it appeared to me that he was insisting that it could of, or should of, be done better. It may be his version of tough love – better that he roughs you up now, than having the opponents do it to you in the match.
