The comeback kid
It's late, so I'll keep this Tuesday night post-practice report brief.
I never expected John Sullivan to have strong fall camp after tearing his ACL in spring football. Sullivan opted not to have surgery to repair the injury because he didn't qualify for a medical redshirt and end up missing his senior year recovering from surgery. So the trainers treated his injury aggressively and sent him back onto the field in a knee brace. Sullivan, who is called Sulli by several coaches and teammates, was jogging by June. But I still wondered if he could overcome such a severe injury on the leg he plants on during kickoffs and field goals.
Much to my surprise, Sullivan's kicks have been among the strongest and most precise during fall camp. He missed a kick to open Tuesday night's practice, but he closed it by booting a 49-yard field goal. It was pretty.
No news on freshman Mike Love. UNM coach Rocky Long said he had not talked with Love today. Love left the team indefinitely to deal with a personal issue. Long said Love is welcome to rejoin the Lobos at any time. Today was not that day.
That's all for now. I'll post a few more notes tomorrow.

Opps! Did I mention it was kind of late when I posted that blog entry? I was posting a Barry Bonds story on Web site when I thought I cut and pasted Sulli's nickname from another spot in the blog entry. Alas, you just got more Bonds.
I have since corrected the error, but they call Sullivan "Sulli." Not really a fascinating or interesting nickname. Probbaly not worth the wait, but at least now you know.
I'll try be a little more lucid on future blog entries.

I got confused for a moment. Saw the Sulli and Bonds references co-mingled and swore that you were talking about the "Sullitan of Swat".
Okay, I'll post under a different name next time to avoid the abuse I'm sure to take.

Fifi Le Moan also got scooped by the Urinal [it is a proper noun] on the story about the Minnesota recruit for the Lobo women's basketball team.

People need to know what I am thinking because I am so perfect that my condemnations of others are always spot on.
