Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, October 22, 2005

The college season hasn't even started, but the injuries are already piling up.

Duke, which had just eight players available by the end of last year, has four players less than 100% and missing some practice. Mo Currie's left foot (fractured last year) hurts again; she's once again wearing a shell.

Nebraska starter Jelena Spiric has torn her ACL and will miss the year. The Huskers become at least the third major-conference team (after Georgia and Minnesota) to lose a player to a preseason ACL tear.

As Clay put it (albeit behind the Full Court subscription wall): "Losses happen, and are inevitable, but injuries are unjust."
