Ben Olson Gets Injured Again

While Forcier is moving on, we have unbelievable news re. Ben Olson:

The bad luck continues for former UCLA quarterback Ben Olson, who re-aggravated the foot injury that forced him to miss the 2008 season. He will not take part in tomorrow's pro day at UCLA.

Not sure what else we can say or what else we can add to this latest round of tough news for Olson.

At this point at least to me its clear Olson needs to move on and get ready for the next phase of his life using his degree from UCLA. The way he has handled himself through the unbelievable adversity from last few years, I think he has shown the patience and relentless determination to be successful in whatever endeavor he decides to pursue next.

Good luck Ben.We wish you nothing but the best.

GO BRUINS.

Unbelievable bad luck

Or, perhaps the best thing to happen to him when the sum of his life is tallied up and he finds his destiny.

Ben, I wish you all the best! Thanks for wearing the uniform and comporting yourself like a true gentleman during your time here.

A sign?

I feel bad for Ben. So highly heralded, all that talent, flashes of brillance…

Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out too well for him. I wish him and his family all the best. He may not be making millions in the NFL, but he still has the UCLA degree that should serve him well.

Feel bad for Ben, he went to my high school(quite a bit later)

He came in with so much talent, he just seemed to have a glass foot, CTS didn’t help. Best of luck Ben, you’ve received the best education in the land.
