SOURCE: Jameel McKay's knee is structurally sound

I heard rumor of this post. You should get blasted and I'm at least encouraged that you expected to be.
Haha, yeah, someone mentioned it in a previous post. Some of the comments I read on here sometimes are just bizarre.
This isnt week 17 in the NFL. For some reason people think we are completely gassed right now or something and the trip to Texas A&M will completely exhaust the entire team and we wont win another game due to extreme fatigue.
These are the best conditioned athletes in the country who are playing on a whole 4 days rest followed by 2 days rest for West Virginia. I think they will be fine.
+1
How often do you see college teams rest their starters during the season, never. Resting to prevent further injury is another matter though. I'm in the camp that TAM is not all that important to achieving this team's long terms goals.
Maybe two more days of rest will be worthless for his knee problem which may last through the season...cortisone may be the way to go if inflamation. Aleve also helps.

I haven't read all the posts but I've seen enough of Jameel the last year and a half to know the guy is a warrior, and nobody brings more energy and enthusiasm to the floor than he does. "Structurally sound" is good news and should be a lift for Jameel, but that doesn't mean there still isn't pain and he will still have to be a warrior to play thru it.
They would also NEVER say anything about it to CW or anyone not intimately involved with the team.
I think playing a non-conference game makes the decision easier. Rest him without question. The fans want to see the Carter anyways, but him in for 20-25 minutes and see what the kid has.
Its not irrelevant at all. The fact we are playing a non-con road game against a top 5 team makes it easier than if we were playing KU or OU at home.
Fans that want to see him don't want to win Saturday. There is a reason he isn't playing. If McKay doesn't play we can go 7 deep, we'll just have to be smart about subbing the bigs
Agreed they have confidentiality responsibilities but I'm guessing someone close to the program who is in a position to know leaked to to Chris.
My gawd I hope for the sake of Carter's ISU career that doesn't happen. If he plays those minutes and we get blown out it will be MT+Nader+Jameel hate combined.

People are obsessed with why Simeon Carter isn't playing yet. Good lord.
After reading posts and twitter, I would like to eat some crow. I do think we should play to win the game, and that means playing your guys that are available. Winning against a top 5 team on the road would be easily our best win. I guess I had a mindset of wanting to be Big XII champs and we hear so often that we are not deep, so thought we should rest to be fresh and prepared for the Big XII race.
Best post I've seen is - the selection committee does not care about conference vs. non-conference wins. They just care about who you beat. That is the case here, and that's all I need to know.
I'm now with the rest of you. Rest McKay if he's not 100%, play the guys your have to win the game and hope nobody gets hurt.
The end.

Yeah ... just a guess, but Chris Williams probably isn't named by Jameel on any of his HIIPA medical release forms.
That needle goes anywhere near his leg you find yourself another ****** quarterback.
