Bob Bruce Radio Show

[paMANther]

I was listening to the Bob Bruce Radio Experience on my way home from work and Mark Farley was on there and he said that today Ben Boothby was upgraded from doubtful to questionable for the game on Saturday

They're going to have to hide any pads and uniforms his size that are not in use Saturday in multiple locations to prevent him from finding a way onto the field.

I'd rather have him be as close to 100% for NDSU than play this week. JMO.

If he's able, he goes. You can't piss this game down your leg in preparation for your next one.

Re: Bob Bruce Radio Show

This is a difficult decision for any coach. Personally I would say if he is able to go he goes, but monitor him very very closely, and he is the first starter out of the game when we are in solid control. We do also have to remember that Mac O'Brien and Will Eilert are not bad players, they just aren't preseason All-Americans.

I'm not sure that will stop him. I would be he would play in gym shorts and a t-shirt if the let him.

I would bet if Ben is walking on Saturday that he is playing.

Re: Bob Bruce Radio Show

If you guys are looking for some good news, I saw him today walking around campus. He didn't look to be in any pain nor was he wearing any kind of brace. Those are good signs in my eyes. I know walking around campus isn't the same as playing in a game but its still a good sign.

The important thing is if he was in class. We need to know if he attended class!

Re: Bob Bruce Radio Show

I will put money down that IF he plays...he will play only 1 half or 25-40% of the defensive snaps. Book it.

Ben is pre-med. He doesn't need to go to class to ace the tests. :^D

you guys and gals amaze me.

the biggest game of the year as we predicted pre-season is upon us.

majoring in exercise science/pre-physical therapy ... selected UNI because "it's a great school; great place to take my educational field; great campus."

I think he already graduated and is taking grad level classes

[JayJ79]

Re: Bob Bruce Radio Show

yes, he has graduated with his bachelors, and is working towards a masters.
and he IS looking to go to medical school, and I believe he's already taken his MCATs. not 100% sure where I heard that, but it might have been on a Panther Sports Talk segment.

Re: Bob Bruce Radio Show

This week is the most important game on the schedule. Play to win each day.

Re: Bob Bruce Radio Show

I did see him walking across campus and he looked fine. It doesn't mean his knee IS fine, but he certainly didn't seem bothered by it.
