Our good friends at WildcatSportsReport.com are reporting that Arizona junior tight end Rob Gronkowski is out for the season and will get a medical red shirt!!! Tough news to hear, but it is what it is...Vinnie ...Looks like Robbie Gronkowski is very close to being a go for the first time this season...Likely gonna be a game time decision at Iowa, but thats better than news that he's still not ready to play...Vinnie ...The UA football team is scheduled to arrive at the Marriott in Coralville, Iowa on Friday evening at 530pm give or take a few mintues either way...Just wanted to pass it along in case anyone traveling that way wants to welcome the team into town...Coralville is just outside of Iowa City...Vinnie ...Oregon has suspended running back LeGarrette Mike Stoops had his first press conference of the regular season and no, he did not name a starting quarterback. At this point do not hold your breath waiting for an announcement. He's already guaranteed that both guys will in the season opener against Central Michigan no matter who starts the game. The unfortunate part about this is that All-Conference Tight End Rob Gronkowski's chances of playing are looking very slim. Stoops said Big Rob's ... The Wednesday morning scrimmage was closed to the public and the media...Stats were not released...That sort of leads me to believe that the qb play was yet again less than stellar...But that's just speculation on my part... Some water cooler talk around campus is that there is concern about how long Robbie Gronkowski might be on the shelf...So cross your fingers on that one my friends... Fan Appreciation night is Saturday even... The overall thought from practice Thursday morning at Fort Huachuca despite constant rain and soggy weather was a good feeling...Some balls were dropped and some passes were behind receivers, but that happens in constant rain...Coach Stoops and offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes were pleased to practice away in the weather if for nothing more than the simple reason that the team could always face these conditions on any given Saturday...Vinnie<... |
