I commented on this a month ago but Etling is getting back surgery tomorrow morning

His back has gotten worse throughout the Spring. I know that he has been getting very little sleep and looks forward to when he can take his medicine to make it feel better. During the season Danny would get shots to help with his back to loosen it up which he wasn't able to get today.
He's tough as shite and doesn't want to miss learning the offense, but he has been laboring all spring. For example, He separated his shoulder during the Florida game and had his best game against Texas A&M. But having that severe of back pain is not conducive to playing a football game well.
Like I wish some reporter would have just asked Coach O why he hasn't told them he is getting surgery.I know for a fact Canada wanted him to get the surgery immediately and not practice during the spring, but Coach O told him "no we want you out there practicing."

Not to be a dick or anything, but why wait until nearly 1 AM on a Saturday night to 'break' this news?

the reason why no reporter has asked this question is because you are literally the only one who has said this.
"Hey Coach O, I uhhh read on tigerdroppings that Danny Etling is having back surgery. Can you comment on that?"

Why can't he take his medicine now? I understand that he doesn't need to be nodding out on pain meds on the the bench but at least take his meds after practice so he can sleep.

Etling having back surgery could have huge implications for him and the team this fall. Back surgery of any type is very serous and can result in a long rehab period, or longer than anticipated. And it wasn't like he was all that great to begin with.

Waiting to have the surgery, assuming what you say is accurate, is a big mistake. Makes no sense.

Dude is tough as nails. He'll be back. If he is having surgery put him in your prayers for a quick recovery and wish him well. He played hard last season and is a great young man.

Good luck towards a speedy full recovery Danny.

God help us if this is accurate.
This is a very poor example of "letting our coaches coach" O.

What the frick was our starting QB who has a back condition that is getting worse and needing surgery doing taking hits in a meaningless SG?
There seems to be a serious disconnect somewhere or some are just trying to give him cover for his bad performance.

It's have surgery. He's having surgery. Once it's over he will have had back surgery. You don't get surgery. You have surgery. thx

You are right this info has been out there for a while. It evidently has not reached a lot of garage tenants or they would have know as you did weeks ago. He postponed it for weeks to be there for the install of the offense. The surgery was described as minor and minimally invasive and recovery is weeks to months. Personally any back surgery I would be having would not be minor to me.

do you really think the doctors would let him continue to keep playing if he was in serious risk of getting hurt worse?
It was pretty much how much he could tolerate and DANNY was actually the one that kept pushing to practice as he did not want to fall behind with a new OC in town...
