Mateer thumb injury?

[harveycmd]

Saying is a shame that Mateer hurt is thumb is like saying it's a shame Anton Chirgurh broke his arm at the end of No Country for Old Men.

OU Insider (Parker Thune) said based on what he's heard, their game against South Carolina "is the most reasonable target date for his return." OU's schedule leading up to South Carolina:

Bye

Kent State

Texas

at South Carolina. 

 

Respectfully, I hope our staff does not give a $^@* about any reports and prepares fully for HIM

He's flying to Los Angeles to have surgery from the guy that operated on Drew Brees, Mike Trout, etc... he's out for Texas-OU. 

Question is if/when he's back this season

He was never going to make it through the season with how overly reliant they are on his legs.

Bingo.

About 50/50 I'd say. When you have QB that runs around all over the place playing against high level defenses, he's not likely to last long.

I meant Vegas odds hoss

I don’t see how, Mosley was out 8 weeks with a hamstring. Then a guy can come back in 2 weeks after having surgery? I highly doubt it. 

He's having surgery on his throwing hand. It's not likes he's LB that can tape it up.

[Gerry Hamilton]

BTW, what are the odds Texas could miss both Lagway and Mateer? 

I know someone stepped on Lagway's toe, but just throwing it out there

[harveycmd]

6-6 at best for the criminals.

Guess it will be Michael Hawkins starting in the Cotton Bowl

I think Texas was gonna stomp Florida regardless, just my opinion. But if mateer misses and Texas wins by 30+ then the excuses will be never ending.

It is likely Texas faces off against Oklahoma with a backup QB for the third time in the last four meetings.

OU willingly benching Arnold to make Hawkins the starter last year is a little different than the situations they faced in 2022 and this year.

What are the odds mateers thumb is what gets venables fired might be a better question

[General Grant]

I hate for anyone to get injured.  But I think I hate Baker Mayfield and Barry Switzer more.  If it causes them angst I'll have a small grin.

I feel like he will do everything he can to play. There’s no way he misses. 
 

kind of crazy that everyone was saying his playing style was unsustainable in SEC play, and it only took 1 game 😬 sorry CJ, I know he’s your QB crush. I hope he is better in time for RR. 

If his hand is bad enough to have surgery there is no way he can come back and play in two weeks

[NothinButDaHorns34]

Oof! Now the excuses will start on why we win the second year in a row.

I didn't have Mateer's thumb getting Vegetables fired on my bingo card. 

Nah. This is the best outcome. They can’t fire him even if they implode.

Anything thinking it's 3 -4 weeks is a Sooner truther. He may be out for the season.

[rgvhorn80]

He’ll be back for Texas 

[hookem1014]

A lot of Sooners saying “Texas gets lucky again without our starting QB” as if they weren’t the ones who willingly benched their starter last year lol

He's done. You don't have surgery on your throwing hand and come back in three weeks. This isn't arthroscopic surgery. Criminal has broken bone(s) in his throwing hand. Put pins or whatever. Hope he comes back for our game.

We knew he wouldn’t hold up for a full season with the SEC grind running the ball with a subpar offensive line, but I didn’t think he’d be out after only 1 SEC game!

You saw what happened to Casey Thompson's career at Texas when he had a thumb injury.  That is nothing to play with.  Sucks for Mateer.

 

It definitely affected him cleaning out his locker when he didn't get his way.

How much eligibility does Mateer have left??
