I'm not a doctor (nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express), so for us uninformed people: it is apparently a "kneecap injury".

Depends...usually it pops back into place on its own but hopefully it did not damage the ACL/MCL ligament(s). He'll have some rehab to do but if the ligaments are ok, he should be back in a week or two.

Sounds painful... have a quick recovery kris.

Poster on Scout free board says O'Dowd dislocated his kneecap today.

edit: I see now that it's already been posted on the USC game thread.

He'll be ok, but will probably miss the OSU trip. Just like Beanie missed last years game, I don't like playing a team that's missing it's best players. Get better soon Kris.

From Bob Hunter's Rumblings:

Southern California center Kristofer O'Dowd wasn't a fan of Ohio State three years ago after he was snubbed in high school.
O'Dowd was scheduled to visit Ohio State for the 2006 Michigan game, but he told Buckeye Sports Bulletin that Ohio State rescheduled his visit for January, saying, "They stopped their recruiting visits because they didn't want to focus on that, they wanted to focus on the game."
O'Dowd later read that Ohio State had several recruits at the game and considered it the biggest recruiting weekend of the season.
"They lied to me, so I took them off my list," O'Dowd said. "It shocked me, and I'm not going to be treated like that. I really think they just didn't do it the right way. They could have at least told me straight up and I would've agreed with them."

"I had privately decided to commit to USC, but still planned to make the trip to Columbus for the OSU-Michigan game. They asked me to switch my official visit to January.....and gave me some 'round-about' reason other than straight up telling me, they'd prefer I didn't come during their biggest recruiting weekend of the year if I had already determinded where I was going to school (not being tOSU). So I took them off my list.............er, again.

Oh, and I did end up verballing to USC like 2 weeks later."
