The injury bug is back in Berkeley and looking to ruin the men’s basketball team’s season once again. After a closer-than-expected win over Southern Mississippi on Wednesday night, the Golden Bears can ill afford any more injuries.
The Clog got a scare when Ryan Anderson did not accompany the team out of the locker room at halftime. After the Cloggers recited several Hail Mary’s in unison, Anderson finally jogged out—apparently his eyes were bothering him.
Already two expected starters—Jerome Randle (kidney biopsy) and Theo Robertson (hip injury)—are on the sidelines, but they’re both expected to be back for Pac-10 play. Dare we say that with Randle not playing our turnovers will go down? Yea … we’re going to get some hate for saying that.
On top of that, Omondi Amoke underwent surgery for a vascular calf abnormality (five points to anyone who knows what that is).
Also, Taylor Harrison was sitting out of the home opener (in a pink shirt no less, guess he’s too cool for the Jumpman sweats), but the Clog is guessing it’s just his knee flaming up (thankfully not on the level of Shaun Livingston).
Not that anyone cares, except for maybe 30-40 people, but the star of the Cal women’s basketball team, Devanei Hampton, also went down with a serious knee injury a week ago.
In light of these ailments, we scrounged up some money to get the boys a membership at Funky Door Yoga (we’ll try to send them to Bora Bora next year). Somehow we doubt Max Zhang will ever be able to touch his toes even after some intense Bikram yoga sessions.
The Clog would also like to encourage everyone out there with a higher risk for catching the flu to roll up their sleeves and take a trip down to the Tang Center. If our prayers pan out, you wouldn’t want to be stuck in bed while we roll through the Pac-10.
