Bad news for all us CCU supporters. Just as it appeared Jamie Childers was ready to take over the reins at QB, he gets hospitalized before camp even starts. Not a good way to start. Thankfully it sounds like it's not bad enough to endanger his future health.

Hopefully he's okay and can at least get back with the team by mid-year. Bottom line, get healthy then get back.

Sorry to hear that. Is that the meningitis that is communicable? Hopefully no other team members caught it.

Tough break...Anyone with kids in college should urge them to get the vaccine that most schools now make available. I read that the majority of young people in their late teens to 30 carry the meningitis 'bacteria' but very few have it 'triggered'...not sure how it works, but a scary thought.

[SuperJon]

He has viral meningitis. The bacterial kind is the one that's life threatening. Luckily that's not what he has.

[Sly Fox]

It is pretty serious business nonetheless. You have to see something like this even to your rival. Hopefully he recovers quicker than originally anticipated.

I'm sorry to hear that about Childers, but it sounds like if all things go as planned he will be back before the season or early in the season. At least you have MacDowall as a reserve.

Nearly ten years ago my son's college required everyone to be vaccinated.

[SuperJon]

Colleges required vaccination for the bacterial kind.

Yeah the problem with MacDowall is he didn't even pass the running test today, so you wonder if the kid is going to bring the leadership you need at that position. I guess time will tell.

Tough break guys, we lost our leading scorer on the hoops team already this year, so we know how it feels. It always reminds me of a prior Coach we had, whenever something like this would happen he would remind us "when a door closes a window opens". Hopefully someone will step through this window of opportunity and help the team enjoy success. Good Luck! BTW, I stopped by and saw your school and stadium last summer and was very impressed, keep up the good work!

We'll add Childers to the prayer list.

Hopefully he will make a full recovery!

Do you know something for fact or is that just rumor? I get some insider info and I haven't heard anything about it.

That's a tough break for the kid. Hope all goes well with him.
