Jimmer questionable at best for UTEP game

[cowboy]

I am only speculating but my guess is that it being a "slight" case of mono that he will be pretty weak for about two weeks from contraction, my guess is that keeps him weak until the middle of next week. I am surprised he is travelling to El Paso as I expected him to just stay in Utah and rest/drink chicken noodle soup until after the AFA road trip and then start getting his strength back. I figured he would see a few 5-7 minutes spans of playing time against CSU and then WYO and would hopefully be ready for 30+ minutes against SDSU.

Once again I am speculating and making up things that work out well with how I project the BYU schedule.

Here is to hoping!

If he was a country boy, he'd stay home and take it easy this weekend, maybe just working half days and keeping it to a bare minimum of feeding hay and milking cows. Then he'd sit out the first quarter against Air Force next week before coming off the bench, doing the farmer's blow on his opponents shoe, and canning 12 field goals from 15 feet or better.

As it is, there's now way we see him on the court before Utah.

Latest from Jay Drew:

Just got word from BYU basketball sports information director Kyle Chilton that Cougars guard Jimmer Fredette is making the trip to El Paso for Saturday night’s 7 p.m. game between BYU and UTEP and Don Haskins Center.
No other details were provided.
Fredette did not practice Thursday as he tries to recover from strep throat and an allergic reaction to medication he was taking for the illness.

He was obviously fatigued and out of sorts in BYU’s 77-73 win over UNLV, shooting 2-for-10 from the field and resting in the final minutes when the game was on the line.

After Thursday's practice, coach Dave Rose called Fredette's status "uncertain."

If he's on anitbiotics, they're not treating mono. Maybe they gave him antibiotics before a test for mono was positive?

But there can be a red rash associated with strep - and unassociated with an allergic reaction to antibiotics. But that would be bad - scarlet fever - probably worse than mono...

Either way, it sucks not to have Jimmer healthy...

You know how sometimes you post something that you think is funny and you actually look forward to the replies and then nobody replies and you realize what a pathetic loser you are, and that you can't even make nerdy losers like yourself respond with an lol? That's kind of how I felt about this post.

At least you spelled "shocked" correctly. And twice... at least if you intentionally made the second one all caps.

Sometimes responses are so obvious that people feel embarrassed making them. For example, responding with an "LOL" to your post would have been the same as responding with "the devil" when the GD teacher asks whose spirit we are inviting when we fight or argue. It's our sophistication that prevents us from praising your wit.
