[OhioState001]

Ari Wasserman seems to think its not that serious on the scout boards

 

[Bucknut24]

if it is, the half glass full part of me says at least a lot of young guys will get some good experience that could be beneficial come March

 

[y0yoyoin]

Report is now back spasms...out tomorrow and will be re-evaluated next week

 

[CHU]

Hope he makes a full recovery.

March is what's most important, so whatever it takes to be full-go by then.

Paul Keels anounced it on 97.1 earlier that he was going to miss the game on Saturday, but his status wasn't known for any other games. Take that fwiw.

satch is going to conviently be on wall to wall sports tonight which is taped live locally here in columbus on 10TV at 11:30 PM...maybe get a better understanding of whats going on

Coach Thad Matta said in a text message after practice that Sullinger?s back was ?still a little locked? yesterday and that he is being withheld from today?s game as a precaution in hopes the spasms will subside.

?He is telling me it feels better,? Matta said.

Sullinger?s father, Satch, said last night on Channel 10?s Wall to Wall Sports that the spasms may be caused by plantar fasciitis that has ?messed up (Jared?s) gait a little bit.?

Back spasms can be merely that or symptoms of an injury.

For those who don't know what plantar fasciitis is; It's a condition of your feet where the ligaments that run from the heel to the toes on the foot bottom want to curl up into a ball.
It's not fun and I know because I have it and it never goes away. You just treat it with exercises and live with it

and it can be a game by game situation for the rest of the year...even by holding sully out for weeks at a time wont guarantee that the plantar fasciitis will stay away...it could come back that very next game...i would almost rather sully have a high ankle sprain or something that would require him to miss 2-3 weeks but he would then be healed and fine...this shit, just like best buckeye said, never goes away

I believe I have that as well. It's a pain in the ass, but simple calf stretching seems to help it a lot.

Matta Q & A on Sullinger

Ohio State coach Thad Matta briefly discussed the Buckeyes' victory, and the 300th win of his career, after the game against Texas-Pan American. Much of his postgame interview, though, dealt with questions about the back issue that kept All-American center Jared Sullinger out of today's game:

Q: What is your prognosis for Jared?
A: Number one, today was a very precautionary measure. He?s got an aggravated disk. What happens there is the muscle tightens around that area. Unfortunately, I probably know a little bit too much about this stuff (Matta has had at least four lower back operations).
Things just have to calm down. We?ll take a look at him Monday (or) Tuesday and just (re)assess. But he?s feeling better every day. The muscle?s relaxing more every day, so that?s a great sign for us.

Q: Do you think this could be something that?s a yearlong issue that you have to be wary of, or do you think once you get past this, it?s over?
A: I think once we get past this, it?ll be over. I hope so.
The big thing is, just through the therapy and stretching, you can really strengthen that area and make it a non-issue.

That's good to hear. I hope he gets better and is able to go crashing the boards and score against Kansas.
