Saffold doubtful for Michigan

1 comment by Doug Wilson | Tuesday, November 7, 2006 - 2:52 pm UTC

Indiana’s starting left tackle Rodger Saffold is doubtful to play against Michigan Saturday because of illness, according to coach Terry Hoeppner.

Hoeppner didn’t say what illness Saffold has, but in talking about Saffold likely missing the game mentioned that it’s cold and flu season. Sophomore Kyle Thomas is expected to start at left tackle, Hoeppner said.

Linebacker Matt Mayberry has been ruled out of the game because of injury. Running back Marcus Thigpen is probable, Hoeppner said, after suffering what appeared to be an ankle injury Saturday against Minnesota.

[...] Probably not good when you’re Indiana, you’re facing Lamarr Woodley, and your starting left tackle is out. Also out is serendipitously-named linebacker Matt Mayberry. [...]

TsaoTsuG on "Hoosiers waiting to learn if investment in Pinson's recruitment will pay off"Dustin, basically agree though I think a journalist can always find a way to relay the source's legitimacy and protect the identity while making the reader aware that it is a reliable source close enough to have information on the subject at issue.

Podunker on "Hoosiers waiting to learn if investment in Pinson's recruitment will pay off"Aruss, you must be too busy wiping all the egg off your face to have written your apology post to DD. Either that or you're busy calling/emailing your sources to let them know that they've helped make you look bad. Hey, just razzing you a little bit.
Dustin Dopirak on "Hoosiers waiting to learn if investment in Pinson's recruitment will pay off"Tsao, Definitely agree with that point, just wasn't trying to overcomplicate my response to Aruss. The goal is certainly to be as specific as possible when it comes to using sources. Sometimes you can't give any hints because it would burn your source, and that is unfortunate, and part of the
TsaoTsuG on "Hoosiers waiting to learn if investment in Pinson's recruitment will pay off"That's a pretty good explanation of 'sources' DD. The only place I disagree (I'm an unrepentant 1950's type) is that the word sources is way too general and, indeed, could accurately describe anyone from the boards to the parking lot attendant at the Memorial Union to the prospect's high school

Dustin Dopirak on "Hoosiers waiting to learn if investment in Pinson's recruitment will pay off"Let's not pile on Aruss here. Just about everybody thought Pinson was going to Indiana until this morning, and besides, Aruss is usually half-messing with me anyway. And let's not act like I did something great here either. Frankly, I simply knew too little about what he was going to
