That certainly has been a real concern to me.

Brawl is a bad description of a totally surprise ambush.  I've still never seen anything so bad in a sport as that viscous attack.  It effectively ended Luke Witte's NBA career before it started and pulled Fred Taylors heart from coaching.

I'm really happy with Okpara, I assumed he was a project that may only turn out to be a shot blocker, but he's much better now, and he's getting even better.  I think he has the most upside of any big man we've had in a long time.  

"Given Monday night’s results, the Buckeyes may be catching Purdue at the perfect time." Absolutely nothing could be further from the truth, the wounded animal will be focused.  But we have a good team with players that have no fear and are getting better every game.  Although a mismatch, Eugene Brown may be on Edey some, his athleticism could go along way, and face it, no one matches up with him, so even Okpara is a mismatch.

You know I kind of wanted a shot to destroy UM in the Final, but I can't stop smiling.

If day open up the Ferrari it will be a fun ride tonight.  I really don’t care who wins the first game, I just can’t root for them, but I would love to see the Buckeyes take them to the woodshed in the final.

Now you're making me hungry!  

Duke's is good stuff, but so is Hellmans.

Paris Johnson may be my favorite Buckeye of all time 

Go Bucks, neuter the dogs 

Yep, see it coming, hopefully not.

I hope it's isolated to Miyan.

This coming on the heels of the article that Stover played hurt and apparently none of the other tight ends were as good as a hurt Stover, would really make a tight end question coming to play here.  I can understand a transfer may know that they aren't necessarily at the top of the depth chart, but the Stover admission makes it look as though if you aren't number one you won't get the chance to play.

Even if they lied, at least the position coach should have been able to tell they wear not ready.  We could ALL tell when TH and JSN were not ready to play.

I tried to watch the Jets Jags game last night to see Garrett Wilson play,  I gave up early because the awful QB play of Wilson.  The guy played like he was drugged, totally unaware of the defense, throwing the the ball to who knows what.  I really think they should have his eyes tested.  When they marched him back out in the second half I went to bed.

Is it not Ohio law that recruits cannot be offered NIL before signing?  I thought I had read that at one time

He has rapidly gained confidence and vision since the start of the season.  Thornton is one of those players that thrives being thrown into a fast game and playing big minutes.  This is a coaches dream freshman point guard. He’s just going to get even better

I totally agree on your number one and two, the offensive play calling was getting more and more conservative over the last several games, and defense just seemed to lose its edge and fall apart the last game.  

Everybody needs to step up!

go Bucks

From the reactions of the others, I gather they all think Howard is trash.

 Only because they were too busy watching Thornton get mugged.

This team plays so cool, things went bad late but they kept playing hard and didn't melt down like many teams do.  Very unusual for a team playing so many freshman big minutes.  Rutgers is a good team, it will be interesting to see how they rebound.

It’s not news when a coach picks a team in his conference to win a playoff game and say how well coached they are, it’s news when they don’t and this become bulletin board material for the next season.

We had the DISADVANTAGE of having this week off, hopefully the staff can try to get some advantage out if that, but most teams and players get better by playing.  After the bye week we were not the same, in my opinion it was due to weird and conservative offensive play calling.  All the three and out killed us at tsun because it gave them time to burn our defense.  So practice hard and get back to being aggressive on offense!

It's really a nice schedule mix this year for young players to grow as long as they don't get down with losses and don't get over confident, and it really looks like this group is making progress,

I think if the offensive coaching staff goes back to calling plays like before the bye week, we have a chance to win.  Of course the defense can't play only to stop the run.

Whistle whipping

Did you forget the great Terry Glenn?
