Her dream is to play DI soccer and its hard to walk away from a dream. We've told her no matter what college will happen with or without football. Part of me would love to see her play DI. The other part doesn't want to see her riddled with arthritis in her late 20s either. She's weighing the options because DI is still an option. Or maybe she'll become a girly girl, join a sorority and play intramurals. Still have a year to decide.

He definitely knew how to hit it. THE goals against Barca and Arsenal were absolute classics, some of the best goals I've ever seen. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODxuMH0_M5M

The news of Essien leaving will be just as sad as Mata. What a player this guy was in his prime. Covered EVERY blade of grass on the pitch, and has deservedly won every trophy going here. You were bri

I was just thinking about this guy. I know it's a long-shot because of his two perma-crocked knees but is there any chance we will ever seen the bison in full flow again?

Really miss this guy, was an amazing player not to mention he was one of our players that wasn't detested by anyone and everyone.

He was really something special. How often does it happen that a midfielder of his type is seen as one of the best midfielders in world football and of his generation by football fans all over the world?

The most painful thing about Ess' case is the fact that his decline was out of his hands..

"I was in so much shock that I could not hold back the tears. I sobbed uncontrollably to the extent that the physios called off the session. The simplest of things like driving were so difficult; I had to be driven home."

Sad to hear it. R.I.P.

So what's the latest news on Essien's injury?

There were quite a few articles saying that he'd be back late March 2012...is this confirmed/true or will he miss the entire season due to the injury?

Considering the history of our players with regards to injuries, I guess we will never now until March gets here..

He also mentioned how it was deja vu. Isn't that the truth. My daughter had her second ACL surgery the same day as the Bison. I shared the blog with my daughter, her comment "I feel you Essien". While she's not doing physio work 10 am to 5 pm, she is doing PT or massage 5 days a week. It's a grind coming back from ACL surgery. Riding the bike is a milestone. Going up stairs is a milestone. Going down stairs is a milestone. Getting cleared to run is a HUGE milestone and it's not even running. More like a slow controlled walk/skip/jump at the beginning. Daughter is having a scope done in a week to clean out a cyclops lesion (scar tissue) on the first knee so everything will be ok to start "running" end of October.

Hope to see them both back out on the pitch playing the game they love.

3 1/2 months today post-op for both Essien and my daughter. My daughter was cleared to run today. She is beyond excited and this is as good a reason as any to buy some new running shoes. Still no football for 4 weeks but she is so thrilled. The next two weeks is relearning how to run and then two weeks of running on a smooth surface. Hope the Bison is doing as well.
