JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Please pray for Rutgers football player Dondre Asberry. As of the last I heard, the doctors think he will be able to walk again. www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/colleges/9947457.htm Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 you got it JF&R! (The prayers I mean) What a sad story... Quote
U2Bad1 Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 It's amazing they are all still alive. They will be in my prayers. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 Thanks Sioux fans. The family and hospital have been very private about this which I would probably want also. When something more comes up in the papers, I will update this thread. Thanks again. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 If anyone would like to send a get well card to dondre, here is an address-- Dondre Asberry Rutgers Stadium-Hale Center One Scarlet Knight Way Piscataway, NJ 08854 I am sure he,his family, and the other players would really appreciate it. He,like many of our football players, is from Florida which is about a 1,000 miles away from New Jersey. Being that far away from home makes this type of situation a little bit harder. Thanks everyone. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Here is an update from today's newspaper. Dondre is still listed in critical condition at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick with spine and neck injuries. There has been no other information released about him or when he might be able to leave the hospital. He has been in since October 16 when he was hit by a drunk driver. Our other two players who were hit in the accident were released from the hospital but still have head and neck injuries. They have not practiced since and did not play last week against Temple and will not play this week against West Virginia. Thanks for your prayers Sioux fans. Quote
kr Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Jfr -- thanks for the updates. Our thoughts continue to go out to all concerned. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano announced last night that Dondre has now been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit to a regular room. He will be unable to return to classes this semester, but it is hoped he will be able to be back in school in January. As far as playing football again, that appears to be up in the air. ---As far as I'm concerned,it doesn't matter if he ever plays another down. I'm just glad that he is alive and that it is expected that he will be able to walk. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I'm just glad that he is alive and that it is expected that he will be able to walk. Excellent to hear! Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 Dondre Asberry has been released from the hospital and he and his family are back down in Florida. He hopes to come back to Rutgers in January. The other players lives and careers have also been altered drastically by the drunk driver and his actions. I don't drink myself,but if there is anyone out there who drives drunk, I really hope you will read the following article about the devastation that was caused by the accident. www.nj.com/rutgers/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1100412052274751.xml On behalf of all Rutgers fans, thanks to you North Dakota fans for your prayers!

JESUS,family,rutgers Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 Yesterday the drunk driver in this case plead guilty. He was sentenced to four years in prison, and the judge said he must serve at least three years and five months before being eligible for parole. --As for our three Rutgers players,they will not be able to get on a football field again, but Thank GOD they are all able to walk. Thank you again North Dakota fans out there for your prayers. Quote
Smoggy Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 How about that Cal player that pushed the girl out of the way as a car backed over him? I believe the driver was doing it intentionally and the player had a leg broken in a few places. Quote
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 Hello cheeringsioux, I hadn't heard about the California player. Hope he is going to be able to walk ok. Did they catch the driver? I would think that is a very serious crime if he intentionally tried to kill someone with a car. Quote

I think I read it in either ESPN or Sports Illustrated. Quote
