Good article... found this quote interesting. Didn't realize it until just now:

Quote:Second-year WMU coach P.J. Fleck has not made Franklin available to the media during his record-setting freshman campaign to keep him focused on the task at hand.

That's tragic news. Hopefully he"ll be ready to go next season. Maybe Sweeney, the walk on running back from Mattawan, can have a bust out game.

Great picture. I didn't get the impression he was out for the season anywhere in that article though.

I feel for his mom. I'm sure she didn't see this coming. Take heart Bronco fans, the tank isn't empty. We've still got Chance, and worst case scenario we blow Ekwode's redshirt. Maybe we can run Phillips out of the wildcat. 03-hissyfit

Can't believe he never wanted to play football in the first place! Now he gets his wish.

He may never play football ever again. Heck, it's all that can be done to see that he will once again be able to walk unassisted.

My students loved learning their multiplication facts with this game.

Let's play it in JFs honor.

Well, of the arm that's not missing. But an organic prosthetic will be attached soon by Stryker that should make it even hard to notice!
