[InTheMiddleOfThePrarie]

I talked to Carl in the heskett center on Wednesday when we played Siu. he said he WILL return for the Illinois state game on wed the 16th and boy will we need him for both games.

Did the doctor already give the okay?

I hope you are not related to jhanika7 or something like that.

I hope you are right. But I will wait for an official announcement from the program before I get my hopes up.

I asked him if he was coming back for the Creighton game Saturday and he said ill be back for the ill state game wed. His hand looked fine. Thumb didn't appear to be swollen anymore but I fist pumped him instead of high fiving him . He said its getting better and the pain is going away.

Carl Hall is one very neat (yeah, I'm that old), personable guy. Loved talking with him in Cancun. A prince!

[another shocker]

watching duke vs nc state-- wichita state really needs hall back if they expect to achieve their goals in the ncaa tournament.

they've been great so far without him, but hall takes them to the next level- legit top-ten

Why are we announcing to anybody when he returns and how good of shape he is in? Just makes us harder to scout.

You guys would make terrible intelligence officers.

And when you say WSU needs Carl back, I assume you mean back and functioning at a relatively high level. That is the big question mark for me. Not so much when he will be back, but at what level will he be able to perform at once he does step back on the floor. If he can give us 80% of pre-injury Carl by the end of January, 90% by mid-February and close to 100% for the regular season finale vs Creighton I will be quite pleased. Anything better than that would be some very tasty gravy.

If this turns out to be the case: "Praise the lord and pass the ammunition!"

Carl just called me at home and said it really hurts and he definitely can't play at 100% for at least another year. He said he also lost his mojo an will probably have to take testosterone supplements just to get out of bed each day, let alone play basketball.

He said the mvc scares him because he feels so inadequate and no one should worry about him in their game plan.

Looks like he is out for ill st and cu. a collective sigh of relief for all those guys.

Remember, military intelligence is an oxymoron.

I hope thinking with emotion is not overriding thinking logically. Yes, ISU red and CU are huge games at home for us, but they are just two games and I'd feel a whole lot better if the doctor's report states the fracture is 100 percent rather than him playing a less than 100 percent thumb risking an aggravated injury. He's too important for the future of the Shox's season success rather than two game success.

And don't get me started on the counter intelligence guys.

It's all pathetic :)
Intelligence in government in general is an oxymoron. Non-intelligence would be a much more fitting title.
