Perhpas one of the nations best Tight ends.. is now out for the year according to ESPN. I can only guess is due to an injury. Something we as duck fans know a lot about I would never wish it on anybody except maybe the Huskies.. or USC. I do feel sorry for them losing such a great tight end.

Are you thinking of TE Rob Gronkowski, for Arizona?
Thought I heard he will possibly redshirt this year.

I didn't think he could redshirt since he played already this year. I can't remember where I heard that, but it was mentioned today.

Who is Arizona State's TE? I don't think you have the right team.

EDIT:

''Arizona's offensive woes don't figure to get any easier with the loss of tight end Rob Gronkowski. He did not travel with the Wildcats because of a strained back, and Stoops said after the game that the third-team All-American won't play all season.''

ESPN confirmed Gronkowski out for the rest of the year. I believe they said he has a back injury.

To bad, he is a special talent and could be a big time TE at the next level.

What's even worse is that someone messed up and told Masoli it was Dickson who was out for the year. :evil:

No he injured it weeks prior to opening day weight lifting and has not played this season. Supposedly undergoing surgery in the next couple of weeks.

Hope Gronkowski has a successful recovery... It is entirely possible for an injury such as this to linger, in spite of surgery, and end a promising career.

Its gonna hurt Arizona's chances to win games. This will help Oregon when play them down there but I still would not wish it upon anybody.

Brutal. That guy is a beast. He almost single-handedly brought Arizona back against the Ducks last year.

I always hate to see big injuries to players.

Wow this sucks, Rob is a beast, it's a shame he's out for the entire season.

Now if only we could utilize Ed Dickson like Arizona does with Rob G...
