Phil Booth’s injury

Happy Monday, 'Nova Nation! As you can tell, the morning links are going to be a moving target during this vacation week. Kind of like Phil Booth's medical analysis.

I've heard a few things on Booth which range for medical redshirt to day-to-day, which to me means that there are differing opinions inside the program. If they really do want him pain-free (which I think is unrealistic), maybe he is done for the year. If this becomes about pain management (and Booth says it is not as bad as last year), I think we'll see him pretty soon.

And now, the "news."
