I just saw that and can't believe there wasn't a thread. Does anyone know what's up?

Read the border battle thread

Latest Tweet from Roman makes it seem the worse case scenario likely.

Considering it came from Roman I expect Barriball to be playing this weekend then, because Roman is MORON!

Certainly hoping for the best for Jay, he is a quality player.

I agree with FHG. His coverage of the Gophers has gone downhill (assuming it was ever uphill) since he took over. Don't really follow him since he's usually always days late on info.

Huge blow if true...

As a Sioux fan I found that Ryan Cardinals coverage is better than Roman's. Again that coming from a tin foil wearing Sioux fan.

I think news like this can have its own thread, especially as there will be ongoing reports to come.

Didn't mean to imply it couldn't.. Just pointing out that if he wanted info, he could read the Border Battle thread because it had info. (rather than me repeating it)

PPress is reporting he is out for the season.

Tough loss for a team that was already lacking goal scorers.

I just read that and saw this:

Further down the road Lucia said junior Jacob Cepis, himself injured but expected to return mid-way through this season, would be a player that could be expected to contribute in place of Barriball.

So, what's the Cepis injury now?????

by **dxmnkd316** » Wed 11/04/09 7:59 pm

So, wait, let me get this straight:

Mbakwe out
Royce White out
Devron Bostwick out
Michael Carter possibly out
Barribal out
Cepis out (?)

what the hell?

by **g_manpucker** » Wed 11/04/09 8:19 pm

I only used up two years of eligibility wrestling in college, I am certain that my couple of years experience playing park hockey could really benefit the Gophers...somehow...maybe?

Just trying to lighten the mood before we all go Chicken Little on the situation! :anger:

by **trixR4kids** » Wed 11/04/09 9:55 pm

Cepis can't play because of eligibility I thought, since he transferred from BGU.

by **Handyman** » Wed 11/04/09 9:58 pm

He can't so his injury is moot.

I wouldn't say it's moot. Injury affects him being able to practice with the team. That affects how he's going to perform when he can play. Etc.

by **Zwak** » Thu 11/05/09 8:26 am

Im trying to think of other players who have come back for a 5th year. Tyler Hirsch is the only I can think of (and I may be wrong on him too.)

How about Leddy?

Also (not having read the article) I would guess that the "Cepis injury" is more likely the author of the article forgetting that Cepis was a mid-year transfer and coming up with an explanation as to why he's not playing right now than that he's actually injured...

by **dxmnkd316** » Thu 11/05/09 9:55 am

Man, I suck at this game:

Decker out
Mbakwe out
Royce White out
Devron Bostwick out

Leddy out
Barribal out
Cepis out (?)

Just a kick to the store after the team finally got on track. Hopefully somebody else is ready to step up. Best of luck to Jay in his recovery.

Maybe, but it doesnt effect the team RIGHT NOW. The team isnt shorthanded because Cepis can't skate.

by **FargoSiouxHater** » Thu 11/05/09 11:50 am

Definitely going to sting losing Jay for the year. The big question is: who gets moved up to take his place on the top line?? Is Matson gonna be the top choice as of now?

Official Release from the 'U'

Barriball to Undergo Season-Ending Knee Surgery

Minnesota senior Jay Barriball will undergo season-ending surgery on Friday to repair a knee injury suffered in practice on Tuesday.

Barriball has played in five of the Gophers’ six games this season, making him eligible for a medical redshirt and the opportunity to return to the team for the 2010-11 season.

The Prior Lake, Minn. native and Academy of Holy Angels graduate scored his 100th career point in the Gophers’ victory over Alaska Anchorage on Friday. He has two goals and two assists this season and 39 goals and 63 assists in 124 career games. Barriball has 43 more career points than any other current player on the Gophers’ roster.

Barriball will have his surgery on Friday morning and the Gophers will take the ice that night at Wisconsin for a 7 p.m. faceoff.

The first three are basketball players and the last one you have in bold is a football player. They aren't playing due to injuries though. :lol:

Always bad to have a player get injured in the manner that Barribal did. Whether he be a Gopher or a Sioux player etc.

by **bienek** » Thu 11/05/09 9:01 pm

Good luck with your re-hab Jay! I will miss watching you play the rest of the year. Hope you will consider coming back next year to make a run to the Frozen Four.

by **pntball** » Fri 11/06/09 7:03 pm

Lucia says on the pre-grame show that the bad news is we lose him this year.. the good news is we'll have him next year. Sounds like he could be coming back for a 5th year. :shock:

He will be back.

Did he actually say he would be back, or are you just saying that because you think he will be?

For next year yes.

How will that change who is going to come in next year? I thought both Ambroz and Bjugsted were trying to come early too...
