Mirkovic (sp?) apparently lost something like 20 pounds during the span he missed a couple of games, so this must be a nasty bug. Shurna was supposedly sick during the OSU game, hence his limited playing time. 

Although I enjoyed the OSU game immensely, as soon as it was over it dawned on me that there was a good chance that more guys on the team would get sick, and that if that included folks like Moore and Coble, the Cats would be in deep trouble. Looks like that's what happened. 

Really unfortunate timing. But better now than, say, Big 10 tourney time I guess.
