From Ben Malcomson, USC Rips It Blog:

"In his hospital room this morning, Stafon Johnson smiles and flashes "fight on" alongside (from left to right) quarterback Matt Barkley, offensive lineman Alex Parsons and offensive lineman Jeff Byers. Johnson, who underwent throat surgery on Sept. 28, has been welcoming teammates and coaches more and more by the day as his condition continues to steadily improve." (Photo courtesy of Kim Mallory, Johnson's mother)

UPDATE HERE...

Stafon Johnson is going home tomorrow...

USC tailback Stafon Johnson is expected to be discharged from a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday morning, the school announced.

Johnson has been hospitalized since Sept. 28, when he suffered severe damage to his throat and voice box in a weightlifting accident.

Johnson, his mother and his surgeon briefly will address the media, although Johnson is restricted from talking, per doctor’s orders.

Check out the sticker that players will have on their Helmets this weekend also over at RipsIt.

FIGHT ON STAFON!!

Great news

Though we all may not see eye to eye on much (anything?) else, we are truly very happy and thankful that Stafon is doing so well. Looking forward to his continued recovery.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

Happen to notice all those OFFENSIVE players? (“yup! no joke. straight up thugs, yo!” — as goes the sigh of an indiscriminant B(o)N-er) You got Kid Cool, Sta-fight-ah! (some happen to spell that Sta Fight On!. . . .? curiously enough), A/P-football (Alex is in “advanced-placed” football curricula, he’s THAT smart), and JB (but you can call him, “Groundskeeper Willie”, he prefers AND likes that name. anyone?)

Seriously though, is that NOT just a snapshot of history in the making? For either or any one of those guys? Like, “Entourage” for example, can you just imagine Matt Barkley and his homegrowns to have their own quasi-autobiographical drama-edy and getting media-blitzed from the tundra in Alaska, to the coffee-houses in Nairobi. Thereby, becoming “global-pop”- and no longer uniquely known as NFL pro-football starsl (strictly speaking: this is assuming their future professional careers meet their respective potential)

Only problem. . . . .? What would this drama-edy be called, who will be featured, and ARE THEY REALLY AND TRULY BFF’s for one another?

(wow! now THAT’S a tangent. oh and “uscdude”: i’ve been wanting to aks you? is it only “Uscdude”? Or do you also go by, “Your Dudness”. one more thing, have you ever seen The Big Lebowski? replying to you will always be so easy for me. it will always be [subject]: Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! A. because I say that all the time and B. because if I could, I’d always start any correspondence or conversation with “Duuuuuuuuuuuder!” if I could always get away with it. Well, that AND "Hey Baby! How you doin’? excellent username, btw)

[duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, edit]

Well, . . . . . .THAT was full of errors!!!!!

1. I meant to write, “ask” instead of aks. (sometimes I just can’t get the “ghetto” out. creeps on in sometimes, you feel me?)

2. I also meant to write, “Your Dudeness”, not Your Dudness. (total party-foul. punishment: another beer, of course! JUST. KIDDING! . . . . .it was a major oversight on my part. my internal “edit” is a bit off today, is all)
