The difference a game makes when the motivation for revenge is at a peak. Sometimes, a lot. And it was at its peak today inside Mackey. Hellen Keller could have seen this coming.
Honestly, that all seems pretty reasonable, if you ask me.
I meant I think it's reasonable that particular OSU fan would call Sullinger a "fuck" for not playing well enough to win today. And by reasonable I mean completely ridiculous.ytownfootball wrote:What seems reasonable? The fact that OSU went down or that fact that Sully should expect better from fans?

As for the Duke-Virginia flashback, that was just for those that thought this game wouldn't be seen as a revenge match for Purdue/or that since OSU won big the first time, the same result would happen the second time. There were a lot of Buckeye fans taking this stance, it seemed. (Not just here, but in real life, too.) Purdue got absolutely embarrassed in Columbus. Of course the Boilermakers were going to come out and play the way they did.

I would agree that the quick foul trouble on Buford definitely cost the Buckeyes early in the way of simply not being able to get into that flow that any team needs to get in early in a tough road arena. After Purdue was able to get hot from outside, the game took a major shift in momentum. The kind of momentum shift that you knew was staying in Purdue's favor until the final clock read zeros.ytownfootball wrote:Sully did as well as could be expected. Over average and near prefect (if not) perfect from the line. Silly, I know. Bottom line for this game was two early fouls for Buford, he never was able to get in a rhythm after that, would have made a difference imo.

And I can tell you, as a season ticket holder who isn't far from the court.....Sullinger is getting mauled on a regular basis with rarely any calls. I am not saying that was the reason OSU lost today. But on the season, I have seen it first hand game in, and game out.
