LINCOLN, Neb.
Adidas Superstar Nere e Bianche . -- For all
the championships and other high points in Nebraskas proud football history,
theres one thing the Cornhuskers ardent fan base desires most of all.They want
their team to be relevant.Nebraskas 35-32 win over Oregon on Saturday has put
the Huskers back in the national spotlight with a 3-0 record. Theyre in The
Associated Press poll, at No. 20, for the first time since December 2014.Theyve
won six of their last seven since a 3-6 start in Mike Rileys first season, and
they almost certainly will be favored in each of their next four games before
visiting Wisconsin on Oct. 29.Riley, whose team plays at Northwestern this week,
said the Oregon win was only a starting point.Well have to keep putting an
exclamation point on it week after week to make it real, he said.Riley is in
charge of one of the most tradition-rich programs. Only five schools have
appeared in the AP poll more times since it started in 1936, and the Huskers
have won or shared five national titles. The most recent of those came under Tom
Osborne in 1997, and Nebraska hasnt won a conference title since Frank Solich
brought one home in 1999.So high are the expectations that Bo Pelini, who never
won fewer than nine games over his seven seasons, was fired. This is the same
school where College Football Hall of Fame coach Bob Devaney once said in 1968,
I know the fans are with me, win or tie.Devaney may have been exaggerating a
bit. Nebraska fans are known for being able to tolerate some losses as long as
the Huskers show up and play with effort. That didnt happen on the biggest
stages in recent years.Rileys lack of sustained success at Oregon State made him
a surprise hire, and his first season was full of bad luck. The Huskers lost
their 2015 opener to BYU on a Hail Mary and four other games by three points or
less.We had a lot of close games, and it came down to little details, receiver
Jordan Westerkamp said. We said we werent going to be beaten like that anymore.
Just the second year with this new staff, we have grown so much closer with them
and have been able to take this playbook in so much more.The Huskers ascent
started last year after an embarrassing 55-45 loss at Purdue. The following week
they knocked off a Michigan State team that made the College Football Playoff to
start a stretch of wins in three of their last four games.Nebraska opened this
season with wins over Fresno State and Wyoming and then celebrated the 350th
consecutive Memorial Stadium sellout with the win over an Oregon team that leads
the Pac-12 in wins since 1997 and has played in two of the last six national
championship games.I thought it was a really good win for this team as far as
confidence and momentum, Riley said. I think a lot of the teams identity will be
sort of defined by how we respond, whether its responding to a loss or
responding to a win. As the games go on, if you continue to win they get bigger
and tougher. This game will be really, really good for our team.One of the most
obvious differences between this year and last has been the play of Tommy
Armstrong Jr.The fourth-year starter has thrown for seven touchdowns against one
interception. Last season he was picked off four times through three games and
was on his way to throwing 16 interceptions, second-most among Power Five
quarterbacks.Armstrong also has been given more freedom as a runner, and scored
the game-winning touchdown against Oregon on a 34-yard quarterback draw.Its a
statement game for our season, Armstrong said. Thats our goal, to be 3-0 going
into conference play. As far as this game, its one of the biggest games Ive
played in. In front of these fans, they did a great job of supporting us
throughout the whole game.---Online:AP college football website:

. The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say
about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event
Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell,
Ky. Virtually no one gets through an entire NBA season unscathed, but some
players attract more attention than others when it comes to their injuries,
often because there is a cumulative effect or because their injuries are so
unusual. With that in mind, here are a handful of players to keep an eye on as
the NBA season gets underway.Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers Injury:
Fractured right navicular bone (in foot) When It happened: first surgery
performed June 2014; second surgery performed August 2015Embiid was selected
third overall in the 2014 draft by the Philadelphia 76ers despite undergoing
surgery just one week prior to repair a stress fracture in his midfoot.
Complicating the picture was the knowledge that injuries to the navicular often
dont heal well due to the bones poor blood supply. In fact, this injury can be
career-threatening, if not career-ending, to big men (former Houston Rockets
center Yao Ming comes to mind). Still, the 76ers planned to keep Embiid
sidelined for what would have been his rookie season and were optimistic he
could eventually embark on his NBA career.It wasnt to be in the following season
either, however. Persistent symptoms in his surgically repaired foot led to a
second procedure in August 2015. The second surgery was performed by noted foot
and ankle specialist Dr. Martin OMalley of the Hospital for Special Surgery in
New York. During the second procedure the two original screws were replaced and
bone grafting was added to reinforce the bone and offer further potential for
healing. A similar timetable of five to eight months recovery was provided by
the team, and Embiid sat out a second consecutive season. In December he was
cleared to resume some workouts and he increased his activity steadily through
the summer.Now entering his third year with the organization, Embiid is finally
taking to the court. He entered training camp claiming his foot has healed and
he has been introduced to NBA-level competition in the preseason, albeit with a
minutes restriction. Those restrictions are likely to continue as the team
enters the regular season not only to gradually introduce the surgically
repaired foot to the stress of games but also to adapt Embiids conditioning. Its
important to remember Embiid played only one year at the collegiate level
(Kansas) prior to entering the draft and is now playing for the first time in
three seasons. As far as the healing of his foot, while it appears that Embiid
is doing well now, no one will be likely to breathe easy until he proves he can
get through a season unscathed. There remains risk until proved otherwise.Marc
Gasol, C, Memphis Grizzlies Injury: Fractured right navicular bone (in foot)
When it happened: injured Feb. 8, surgery performed Feb. 20Gasol missed the last
two months of the season after suffering a non-displaced Type II navicular
fracture in his right foot and subsequently undergoing surgery to repair it. Dr.
Robert Anderson and Dr. Drew Murphy performed the procedure. The navicular bone
is in the midfoot and is considered a keystone of the arch. It can be
problematic for a fracture here to heal as the bone does not have a great blood
supply, hence the decision to surgically stabilize it and improve the overall
chances for healing. The fracture was nondisplaced, meaning the bone remained in
alignment, another factor in Gasols favor when it comes to healing. At the time
of surgery, Gasol was projected to make a full recovery.Gasol was initially
projected to be away from basketball activities for 16 weeks, thus forcing him
to withdraw from the Rio Olympics. The decision paid off for Gasols NBA season,
however, as he focused on his rehab and was rewarded with clearance to return
for the start of training camp. He did leave one preseason game in the middle of
October with a scare, but it turned out to be bruising of an adjacent bone, not
an aggravation of his original injury. In fact, Gasol was able to make it back
for the teams final preseason game. David Fizdale has indicated Gasol will be on
some type of minutes restriction (without saying how many minutes) when the
season opens as the team exercises caution with his surgically repaired foot.
Fizdale also noted Gasol is likely to get scheduled nights off during the
season, another component of trying to ensure his health long-term.These
fractures in the middle of the foot are never ideal and have been career-ending
for some, but the fact that Gasol has played in games is an excellent sign. At
31 years old, he can be expected to have intermittent stiffness and soreness in
the area, which could impact his minutes played from time to time. The Grizzlies
have already acknowledged as much noting he will start with a minutes
restriction with planned time off throughout the season.Blake Griffin, F, Los
Angeles Clippers Injury: partially torn left quadriceps tendon When it happened:
original injury on Dec. 25, 2015; aggravated April 225Griffin suffered a partial
tear of his left quadriceps tendon, which anchors the large muscle comprising
the front of the thigh to the tibia (or shinbone).
http://www.supercolorrosachiaro.it/adidas-superstar-a-poco-prezzo/adidas-superstar-unisex.html.
The quadriceps (or quad) is responsible for running and jumping power as well as
the ability to decelerate sharply. The injury forced Griffin to miss more than
half of the last regular season and a portion of the playoffs.Griffin underwent
a procedure on April 27 to enhance the tendon healing, and an injection of bone
marrow aspirate then followed with extensive rehabilitation. The good news is
that the time to recover has no doubt done wonders for Griffins overall health.
He was a regular during training camp and played in the preseason without
issue.Its worth noting that when Griffin suffered a knee injury back in the
2011-12 season (a torn medial meniscus), it was to the same knee. He also
fractured the patella (kneecap) in his left knee in 2009 during the summer
before his rookie season. Griffin was forced to wait a year for his NBA debut
but he returned from the patellar fracture to earn Rookie of the Year honors. He
is just 27 years old with plenty of playing time ahead of him as long as the
injuries do not continue to accumulate. The tendon should have had enough
recovery time to be a nonissue at the outset of the season although Griffins
history of multiple injuries in that region of his left leg makes him a greater
risk for reinjury, particularly the soft tissue variety.Chandler Parsons, F,
Memphis Grizzlies Injury:?right medial meniscus tear and surgery When it
happened: injured March 18, arthroscopic surgery performed March 25Parsons is
still working his way back from his meniscus repair. Repair of the meniscus is
always preferable to partial removal, when viable, because the meniscus serves
as a cushion within the knee joint. Considering that Parsons has already had a
microfracture procedure on the same knee, there is interest in preserving as
much cushion as possible to guard against further degenerative changes. The
challenge after a meniscal repair is restricting the activity early in the rehab
process as the repair attempts to heal. Typically weight bearing is limited
early as is flexion, or bending of the knee beyond 90 degrees. As the healing
progresses, more motion is allowed and loading is increased, but a complete
recovery can range from four to six months or even beyond.As of the start of
training camp, Parsons was increasing his activity but was not cleared for full
practices. Over the course of camp he continued to progress, starting with
clearance for contact in the first week of October, but he has not yet been
cleared for game action. His return appears close, but there is no specific
targeted date. Although the reports of Parsons progress have been positive thus
far, there is no way to know just how he will respond to game action. Perhaps
the more important question is how well his knee, which has already endured two
significant procedures, will hold up over the course of a full season.John Wall,
PG, Washington Wizards Injury: bilateral knee surgeries When it happened:
Surgery performed May 5Wall underwent two different procedures for his knees in
May with Dr. Richard Parker at the Cleveland Clinic Marymount. He had a patellar
tendon debridement on his left knee and an arthroscopic lavage on his right. Of
the two, the procedure performed on Walls left knee was more complex and
reflects a more serious condition. Debridement is a term that signifies a
cleanup type of procedure of his left tendon, the removal of scar tissue and
calcification in an effort to try to normalize the tendon tissue. Ultimately,
the healing response triggered by the procedure and the associated
rehabilitation should help the health of his tendon long-term. Lavage, the
procedure Wall underwent on his right knee, literally means a washing of the
knee. Essentially, during the arthroscopic procedure, the knee is washed free of
debris that has accumulated in the joint.The 26-year-old guard was able to
resume running late in the summer. He steadily increased his sport-specific
activity up to the point where he was able to participate in all training camp
elements. Conditioning in a return from surgery on both knees proved to be one
of the biggest challenges. Wall played in the last five preseason games and
ultimately progressed to 27 minutes of play by the time the preseason drew to a
close. He expressed confidence he would be able to play upwards of 30 minutes in
games when the season opens while acknowledging he might still need intermittent
breaks as he continues conditioning himself back into game shape. The Wizards
seem more than content to work within Walls constraints at the start of the
season if it means prolonging his health throughout the latter portion.
