Here is a blurb from the Akron Beacon Journal this morning.....

Carpenter update

OSU coach Jim Tressel said doctors were pleased with the healing of linebacker Bobby Carpenter's broken right ankle in Wednesday's X-rays, but his availability would be a game-time decision. Hurt Nov. 19, Carpenter has yet to participate in a Fiesta Bowl practice but worked on the side Thursday.

Just wanted to leave one more post of support [before leaving work for the day] for Bobby & his recovery. I've still been praying every night. I'm hoping that my prayers are answered.

Take care everyone & Have a Safe & Happy New years!!

I can see it now...the coaches tell all the players that he is not going to be able to participate in the game...and then instead of JT's pregame talk Bobby walks out dressed and ready to go...silence fills the room...he says "I am playing today"...i can't even imagine how fired up we would be

the Buckeyes RUUUUDDDEEEE .. let's face it, we beat Michigan because the players were petrified of having to go past Carp when he had those crutches.. if it were any other way... He WILLED that win..

He's gonna play... a bit limited... but we're gonna have a Carp showing... my gut tells me AJ's gonna give him five when Carp shows up on Mr Quinn's door... no heat from Quinn's Mom and the job still gets done... works for all of us...

Carpenter says he's 50-50 at best

By Doug Harris
Dayton Daily News
TEMPE, Ariz . | Ohio State's Bobby Carpenter was hounded by strangers offering miracle cures after breaking his lower leg against Michigan. And while he viewed them as quacks, his parents weren't so skeptical.

"One holistic healer called my dad, and he talked to her for an hour," Carpenter said. "It was definitely very interesting."

Alas, there were no quick remedies for the senior linebacker's fractured fibula, which is why he's questionable for the Fiesta Bowl on Monday.
OSU coach Jim Tressel said Carpenter would need to at least suit up in a helmet and shoulder pads for drills before jumping into action against the Irish. And as of Friday morning, the third-team All-American had only worked out on the sidelines.

"It's definitely getting better," he said of the injury. "Running straight ahead doesn't give me any problems, but I'm not sure how it will do if I twist my hips and do the things you have to do in a game."

Carpenter won't join the fray unless he believes he can be an asset.

"I've got to look at it realistically and separate my emotions from everything," he said. "If I can't help the team be successful, I shouldn't be out there. I want to play, but I can't be selfish about it.

"When I came here, the odds of playing were probably 50-50, maybe lower.

I'd say they're about the same."

after this specific injury... you know the bone is healed.. you've seen proof in the xrays.. but your ankle feels like it has no strength at all... you feel OK when you go perfectly straight... but when you pivot or spin you feel you'll leave your whole foot behind...

we'll miss him and the effect he would have had on this game
