| 11 weeks 5 days ago | I could understand if the |
I could understand if the Buckeyes were playing anyone else... but when they are playing against Michigan State, and we can claim our first share of the Big 10 championship since 1986, go Buckeyes, for 1 game and 1 game only! I think different rules should apply when your 2 least favorite programs are playing against one another; sometimes the overall balance of things leads to it making sense to root for one of them.. But yes, first priority...go Wolverines against Penn State... |
| 20 weeks 1 day ago | Fiesta Bowl |
What seems to also be going unmentioned about Stanford (although not precisely a game theory issue I guess) is that in Overtime they get the ball immediately after this redshirt freshman kid botches a field goal attempt. They run for 5 yards on first and 10, but are back at 2nd and 10 after a fall start and they run the ball again for a 3 yard loss. 3rd and 13, Andrew Luck throws a check down pass that gains 3 yards, and you put the same kid who just botched a much more makeable field goal in to attempt a 42 yarder probably no more than 5 minutes of real time after he already botched it in regulation. You have Andrew Luck, why are you bailing out the defense??? Overtime you need to be playing for TDs, especially when you have the ball first, not setting up an awkwardly distanced field goal for a mediocre kicker. |
| 25 weeks 6 days ago | Player thoughts: 1) |
Player thoughts: 1) Hardaway is ready to lead the team. His ball handling, abilities inside the 3 point line, creation of opportunities at the free throw line, and passing have all improved considerably. This is going to be a special season for him and we're never really out of a game with him involved. The thing I loved about the Duke game is despite how uninvolved he was in the first half, that we all just knew he was going to make himself heard before the game was over.
2) Burke looks solid, but the issues people brought up about getting scouted are valid. Also, he is being asked to play a lot of minutes so far; there may be a little bit of a rookie wall factor as we get into the conference season if we can't get him some decent rest here and there. But you have to be happy with what he brings to the table, he's another guy who can create his own shot, hit jump shots, and penetrate. Much more offensively diverse than Morris, and for the future it's probably better that Morris left just because it's given Burke this year to really take the lead. 3) The biggest variability I think is going to come from the frontcourt. Horford being more comfortable finishing near the basket and actually being able to use his body is important; it's a good insurance policy for Morgan foul trouble. Morgan looks more comfortable finishing around the basket with his left hand, shooting the 10 foot jump shot, and using his quickness in the post. Smotrycz also clearly has worked a lot and has a lot of different tools at his disposal; he just needs to get himself under control and stay on the court. With the coaching we have, these guys I think will all play better as the year goes on but I could see Smotrycz being inconsistent.

| 31 weeks 6 days ago | Cousins is a little bit more |
Cousins is a little bit more mobile than I think you're giving him credit for, or maybe our defense was just THAT bad, but in '09 I remember him breaking a 41 yard run against us and rushing for 75 yards overall. This defense has a lot better pursuit and more aggression than the last couple years so I don't think Cousins will hurt us rushing the ball but I do think he's mobile enough within the pocket to be dangerous. |
| 31 weeks 6 days ago | Smotrycz is going to most |
Smotrycz is going to most certainly be a starter; Vogrich will be coming off the bench and I think it's going to be a competition for him to even find minutes. It's going to be Burke/Stu, Novak, Hardaway Jr., Smotrycz, and Morgan...it'll be interesting to see if Novak can fit in without being the undersized power forward we've grown to love. |

This is what is referred to as "Freep Journalism"...Drew Sharp may make him a job offer. |
| 1 year 7 weeks ago | I also heard Thad Matta's |
I also heard Thad Matta's going to come by to resign, Jared Sullinger and William Buford are declaring for the NBA, and Terrelle Pryor has asked to have his suspension increased to the entire season because everybody gets suspended for their senior season. |
| 1 year 8 weeks ago | I think it's a little bit too |
I think it's a little bit too early to tell. Both guys are coming off their first year as college starters (although Morris did play 23 minutes a game as a freshman)...Hardaway is MILES ahead of where Morris was as a freshman. If he makes a leap next year that even approximates Morris' leap from freshman to sophomore year, my guess would be Hardaway would be a much higher projected NBA draft pick. |
| 1 year 8 weeks ago | Would that be the worst |
Would that be the worst combined mobility in the history of a 1 and 2 quarterback pairing? |
| 1 year 8 weeks ago | Florida has underachieved in |
Florida has underachieved in the tourney but they also were back to back champions a few years ago, so I'm not sure that's really a fair characterization. |
