Players out

We missed Mann on defense. But, I thought Caleb Kelley played as if his hair was on fire. He did whiff on one blitz but absolutely crushed the QB on another and was making many plays.
I thought Caleb Kelley played really well. He looked like somebody that needs to be on the field more.
I think Caleb Kelly was well rested for one...and realized it was fish or cut bait time. His energy and intensity have not been seen since Striker in my opinion. Thank you Caleb. Stick it to the Shorthorns. I also hope Mann gets back this week. He is also pretty high energy.
Appeared as though 'ridin' the pine' brought out the Best in Caleb...As for Energy/Intensity, I'll have what K-9 is having!
It was just a spurt, but that was likely we saw the best of Kelly on Saturday. At least he brought some intensity and he looked like he wanted to play.
My guess is that we won't have Mann for Texas. I sure hope Powers plays and getting Jones would be helpful.

OU won't release the health information etc. You know that or should.
Sometimes that gets thrown out by LR at the Monday presser...but yes before the RRR, that news is locked down.
OU can clear players to play and announce. Don't think they can release any medical information unless the player agrees or does it himself.
I was interested if HIPAA would actually apply in this case, so I did a little research and came across the linked paper. It's pretty interesting in the many gray areas regarding the sharing of medical information. An athlete's medical information would only be protected if their analysis came from a billable evaluation such as from a university physician. If the diagnosis were from a team athletic trainer (not billable), then the coach and university would have free access to the information.
However, it clearly states that sharing information with the media is a no-no.
Finally, regarding the sharing of information with the media, this issue is clear-cut. Under HIPAA, personal health information can be provided to sports information staff or the media only with authorization from the athlete (Magee et al., 2003).

Yes I was wondering about that for sure. NFL sure lays cards out on table. I saw one injury NFL injury report with a ruptured gonad. Jeesh.
Looks like NFL might be different. Injury information is a condition of employment.
Exactly. If you think about it, the NFL had a viewership cap based on how many true football fans there would/could be. How do you expand viewership then? They had to get creative. First they went for the women (no more cheerleaders at every commercial break). Spice up the telecast with more "dumbed down" explanations of the game and rules. Next, they went for the Hispanic population - MNF simulcasted in Spanish.
Now the latest is the trumped up Fantasy Football stuff. They practically talk more about Fantasy Football related things then they do about the actual game now, and it's genius. A game within a game that brings non-sports fans into watching, and sports fans into watching MORE.
I work at a high tech nerd foundry with almost zero sports fans. I was asked to be in a 15 person fantasy football league with coworkers. NOT A SINGLE one of them has any interest in football. Just playing to play a game with coworkers, and you know this will drum up viewership.
No injury reports? No interest in fantasy football / gambling - less viewership.
I was thinking about the whole fantasy football thing the other night. 20 years ago, who would have thought that anyone would be able to own his/her own professional football team for a measly 20 bucks.. or even free. It's genius. So many folks that wouldn't watch ANY games now watch MANY games just to keep tabs on their own teams.
