Here we are three hours out and I'm squirming in my computer chair. Senior night (4 senior starters for PSU), OSU on one day rest & preparation, crazy crowd pumped with the white-out, OSU having mid terms this week, away game, big Wisky game coming up next. Someone come on here and tell me there's nothing I should be concerned about, please.

2006-2007 team has NOTHING to do with this year's team. In what sort of idiotic world would it have any relevance?

Ha, there certainly is something to be concerned about. BUT, OSU is playing for a Big Ten title. They know whats at stake. The seniors have been down this road before. One day rest doesn't concern me. OSU just went through that couple weeks back and bounced back after the Purdue loss to beat Ill soundly . This game wont' be easy for all of the above you mentioned. But I would find it hard to believe OSU won't be focused on this game.

1. Uhm what midterms? There's 2 weeks until finals the only classes that have midterms this week are FEW and very far between.

2. OSU used 8 players intermittently, and players got more rest than usual, especially Sully who spent most of the first half on the bench during Sundays win over Indiana.

3. We're significantly more talented than them.

Hope that helps.

I thought that early and about most teams in the country. PSU has shown to be way more talented than we all originally thought. Their strength is the biggest concern for OSU.

You are right, OSU IS more talented, but PSU has proven (at least to me) that they are better than I/most originally thought.

OSU is playing for a B10 title, but PSU is playing for a berth in the NCAAs. This should be a GREAT game. Ill take the Bucks by 3.

Laley, question for you (since you're an IU fan).

We were discussing on our game broadcast (well, I was at least) why Tom Pritchard went from a bona fide scoring option his fresh year to an afterthought by now.

Why/what happened?

I think a litiny of reasons.

1. He was the only option year one
2. He has lost a ton of confidence
3. His role has changed as the talent has gotten better around him
4. He realized he wasnt that good and it was all a fluke (my personal opinion lol)
5. He actually started his decline in B10 play, he did most damage outside of conference play that year
6. Tom Crean runs a guard drive offense. But he didnt have guards his first year, so Pritch was honestly the only option.

lhslep > well, one of my former runners is a soph there. I was pretty sure he told me he couldn't do his workout yesterday because of a midterm. I stand corrected.

CBF > I am hoping all the reasons you mentioned overcome my concerns. I agree about the experience and the Big 10 title and am counting on that tonight. And Sullinger should be well rested after his brief outing vs. IU.

Ankle, it's possible, wasn't trying to call you out, just saying it's just "midterm" week, which is usually weeks 4-7 in the quarter.

Or I'll be just on the Ohio side of Louisville around 9ish. So I'm curious of there are stations I can pick up or when the first one I'll pick up is.
I'd try researching it myself as I drive bit I already got pulled over once.... 95 in a 70. Noooo idea why he didn't ticket me. I deserved it for sure. J
He just asked where I was headed then said set your cruise on 82 and br careful. I was shocked.

Thanks guys!!


If you are going to be in or around Ohio at the time I'm sure the radio will definitely be the best option. But I was curious and went to the online stream of a local station that always plays buckeye games and it did allow me to stream through my phone. website is majic959.com then just go to 'listen live'. I was pretty surprised it actually worked...but if you cant find a radio station and have good signal it would be another option.

Ok, so the last game versus IU and just now in this game Buford has posted up. It has resulted in 2 airballs. I rest my case on that issue, never to bring it up again.

Wasn't a true post up earlier, but he backed his man down and hit a banker.

OSU defense is on point right now, and I really wish Sully would use that face up jumper more often.
