S Anderson Russell (official thread)

[ytownbuckeye]

our secondary should be solid and linebackers should be solid. both should go deep with talent. gholston up front. could be great defensive year and wells needs to punish opposing defenses. it's getting closer.

I can't wait to see Anderson back out there...

LB's should be DISGUSTING (if they play anywhere near potential).

I know I am breaking the "rules" but has anyone heard anything on Anderson. I thought he was playing GREAT GREAT football before his injury. I am really hoping we can get him back this year at full speed. IMO he has NFL talent. I hope he can come back at 100%

If I remember correctly he COULD have played in the Spring Game but was held out for precautionary measures.

Russell hasn't lost a step, or his job

"We thought he was really going to be an outstanding player for us; we were real excited about him," Heacock said. "It was devastating after the Iowa game to lose him.

"And he was a starter, he got hurt, and coach (Jim) Tressel's philosophy is pretty much if a starter gets hurt and he comes back, whether it be during the season or when, he always gets that opportunity to be a starter. It wasn't like he got beat (out)."

There's a good chance he won't get beaten out the next few weeks, either, even as his replacement last year, Jamario O'Neal, and Kurt Coleman, Nick Patterson and others scramble to earn time.

"(Russell) seems healthy. He hasn't missed a beat," Heacock said. "A lot of times when you come off major knee surgery, it takes a little while to get your confidence back. But he never seemed to miss a beat there, so that's kind of exciting."

A-Russ says he's fully recovered.

All the way Back: One of the question mark positions for the Buckeye defense this fall is at safety. One of last year's starters Brandon Mitchell has moved on due to graduation and Anderson Russell, who earned a starting position by the second game of the season last year, was lost to injury in the Iowa game. Russell is back this season after rehab and reports he is fully recovered.

"I'm doing fine, I'm 100 per cent. I did winter conditioning, I kind of came back kind of fast. They kept me out of spring ball but this summer I did all our workouts," said Russell.

Russell will play free safety this season and will also be looked at as a kick returner. Russell added that the time he spent sitting out last year was extremely difficult for him.

"That's the hardest thing I ever did in my life by far," Russell said.

Cont'd ...

Imagine the feeling of actually winning a starting job on defense for THE Ohio State Buckeyes when the odds were stacked against you, WAY ahead of schedule, and then after earning that job, plus everyone's respect, you get taken out by some unfortunate injury. Once Russell has had time to rehab himself back to where he was, and taking into account the way that last season ended, we are talking about a man on a mission this year with Russell.

OT, but something struck me:

"Water, ice towels. I drink a gallon of water when I'm sitting in class," said Kirk Barton.
"I look like knucklehead. People look at me because I have a gallon of distilled water in my hand."

someone needs to tell Kirk Barton that distilled water is great for your ironing board and your radiator, but NOT YOUR BODY. a lady out here died last summer because she drank a gallon of distilled water. distilled water has *nothing* in it. the electrolytes leach out of your body and into your gastrointestinal tract in an attempt to maintain an equal ratio of dissolved minerals, and your body ceases to maintain its fine electrolyte balance... the result is water intoxication and can cause death... heck, you can get water intoxication from too much normal water, let alone distilled...


seriously, drinking distilled water is VERY bad for you when you're already losing electrolytes like crazy from running around and sweating in 90+ degree weather...

I'm sure someone such as Kirk Barton would know the dangers of drinking too much water. Secondly, it's not as if he would die suddenly, he'd start to feel woozy first before actually becoming real sick. Third, There is a big difference between a 300 lb offensive lineman who likely eats 4000+ calories a day with plenty of electrolytes in it, and a 130 lb old woman.

I'd still rather have somebody make sure.

Professor Tim Noakes at the University of Cape Town is the world expert in the area of water needs. There was an article in the New York Times that spoke about his work in this area a few years ago.

In short, Noakes maintains that athletes drink too much water. Here is a quick SA government publication that I could find that speaks to the issue of water requirements and talks a little about Noakes work http://www.srsa.gov.za/ClientFiles/p29-31 Hydration.pdf.

Coincidentally, we had a mini nutrition seminar at our triathlon clinic last night, and one of the points was specifically not to "overhydrate"...drinking excess amounts of water can literally draw the electrolytes from your system, and the effects come on more sudden than dehydration. In fact, more triathletes die from overhydration then from dehydration. In Barton's case, the fact he's drinking water with no minerals in it magnifies the risk...

This isn't the place to discuss the merits of water, but let me make something very clear. There is nothing wrong with drinking distilled water! The lost minerals are easily obtained in just about any food you consume. I eat organic food, no meat or dairy products and have been drinking distilled water for years. In normal municipal tap water there could be up to 75,000 chemical compounds and impurities that even reverse osmosis can't dissolve, but distillation will eliminate most of them. I started drinking distilled water after reading some publications from a health food store and doing research on the topic.
