bad luck for the Huskies

sounds like he wasn't anywhere near the anointed successor to Polk, so perhaps the Huskies aren't taking such a large hit.
personally, i think it's tragic that it's Cooper's third injury and that he's yet to play a college game. i hope he makes good use of his scholarship and his degree.

didn't Andy Brown on the basketball team have 3 knee injuries? And I think he was up against one other guy to be the starter so that really shows their RB depth and talent sucks.

Knee injuries are the scariest thing in sports. I coach middle school basketball, and last year my best player -- a girl who was the best athlete in the city (Long Beach) and a guaranteed Division I volleyball scholarship, tore her ACL and meniscus. She's had two surgeries in seven months, and I fear she might never play again.
My own daughter is entering the seventh grade, and she's developing into an excellent player as well, and every time she plays I think about her knee and hope it remains sound.
There's been an awful lot of research done on this recently, and it's revealed the one negative development from Title IX. Female athletes are far more likely to have severe knee injuries than their male counterparts, an increased tendency which is attributed equally to physiology (wider hips create more stress on the knee) and over-scheduling, especially when girls specialize in a single sport.

I have a suggestion. Have your daughter evaluated periodically by a top notch physical therapist who works with collegiate or national level athletes. You might need a prescription from a physician to get that done. A good PT with that kind of experience can find problems before they turn into injuries. They can give her the correct stretches and strengthening to prevent those knees from becoming injury prone, which she can incorporate into her daily warm-up. Proper leg maintenance can prevent improper use of the knee joint.
I have been using that approach with my son and it has cut his injury rate substantially. I wouldn't know who to use in So. California, but in No. California we use Deirdra McLoughlin. Maybe she could give you a name. She had at least one track and field olympian in London.

Thumbs up for her being a rower--thumbs down for her not working with the Stanford crews but with the kal crews :p

akiddoc -- Thanks for that suggestion. I've heard that theory about doing the right leg strengthening exercises. Michael Sokolove wrote a great book about the injury epidemic in women's sports -- Women Warriors. He focused mainly on soccer, but also spent a good deal of time talking about possible solutions to the problem. One of them is what you suggested -- proper training, stretching, and strengthening to prevent injuries before they happen.

She went to school @ Brown. No UCB stuff in the office. So she's alright.
