Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Jim Tressel announced early Friday evening that Beanie Wells will not play on Saturday night against the USC Trojans. Well then. That certainly takes away a whole lot of the idea that Tressel is sneaky, doesn't it? Not entirely, but it is a surprisingly early announcement from the Ohio State corner.
"I'm not sure he'll ever speak to me again (but) I think it's the right thing to do," Tressel said.Obviously, Wells wants to play in this game -- plenty of talking heads have mentioned that he is essentially the Buckeyes only hope. (Although it's entirely possible that long term, his absence will help them.)
Tressel said the decision to not play Wells was his alone after talking the matter over with medical personnel. The coach said he is concerned that letting Wells play might expose him to further risk of injury.
The weirdest thing, though, is how early the injury status was announced; generally speaking this type of statement would be made later Saturday afternoon so as to keep the Trojans prepared.
Update(kind of): Kirk Herbstreit is reporting on my television that he never saw this coming and he doesn't think Beanie saw it coming either and that "I'm not totally convinced he's actually out." (Half joke.) He is, in fact, actually out.
