My god Smotrycz is slow. I really hope he can start shooting well again. He and Vogrich are two guys who bring nothing to the table if their outside shot isn't falling. But Smotrycz is agonizingly slow. And he has no handle whatsoever. |

I hate these judgment flagrant calls. Is that a hard foul? Yes. If he gets any of the ball on that play it's not flagrant. So only because it's on a breakaway does that get called flagrant. If Morgan rakes a guy's face going up for a layup and misses the ball it's not flagrant. But because he fell hard it has to be a "special" foul. I hate that about basketball. Guess what - you can get hurt playing this game and not every hard foul needs to be flagrant or intentional. |

You certainly have to lose with class. I was referencing your comment about losing professionally - the flip side is winning with class. I'm not sure why kilpatrick disrespecting Tu gives him carte blanche to taunt. Like I said - Wells starts the actual violence. Trash talk is one thing - by your logic Tu was trash talking the whole UC team so they "had something to prove" which obviously is no excuse for acting like a fool. No one truly believed what kilpatrick said, it was so dumb. But yet holloway has to prove he's "tough" by taunting. You gain respect by winning and going about your business. How much taunting was there after the osu/um game this year? |

How about win with class? Tu sure wanted to talk a lot for a guy who scored 5 points in their loss to UC last year. Does that mean he's not a great player - of course not. He had an off day that game and it was clearly different this year. He didn't need to remind anyone on that court that he was the best player out there - his game does that for him. Regarding Wells' suspension - if he's only going to get 4 games, I can support 6 for the UC players. No one in this whole thing was innocent, but this never erupts to violence if Wells doesn't shove Guyn to the ground. Up until then, he and Holloway were content to get in each other's faces and act tough. Wells was not retaliating to any physical contact to his own person. The bottom line is this was all just stupid and reflects poorly on all involved. If someone's trash talk can incite you to violence you need to grow up. |

don't really have any useful advice, but our dog also suffers from allergies, albeit not as severely. our vet recently put woodson on hypoallergenic food (only $50 for a 17 lb bag!) and it seems to be helping. he had been getting nasty, persistent ear infections and since switching foods he has been much better. for other, less annoying allergy issues we just give him benadryl like yak attack mentioned. so even though it doesn't seem to be food-related, it might be worth trying different food. it's an annoying process to isolate food allergies, but may be beneficial in the long run. |
| 1 year 9 weeks ago | Not a tourney team |
Had Sims or Harris been here, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have been a tournament team. Neither of those guys were great leaders last season and were more concerned with individual stats than the team. A classic case of addition by subtraction. Both those guys were talented players, but they didn't fit the system the way the current players do. |
| 1 year 27 weeks ago | How do you coach against turnovers? |
I'm not sure a coach can really do a whole lot to prevent turnovers. I'll guarantee you that the coaching staff is not coaching the QB's to throw INT's or fumble. No matter how much you stress it to the kids, it's up to them to actually be smart with the ball. If someone can definitively say that we don't do ball security drills in practice then I'll fault the coaches. I do think that coaches can work more with a wet football or other adverse conditions in practice if called for. Generally when conditions are as crappy as they were Saturday, turnovers are more likely. I realize that doesn't address the last 3 games before this one, but I chalk a lot of it up to youth and players pressing and always trying for a big play. In short, I'm not sure how a coach can prevent turnovers - ultimately the players have to be smart and protect the ball. |

I really feel like we should win comfortably, but I just don't think our defense will allow that. You can bet Purdue is going to have every trick play in their playbook ready to run against us to take advantage of our inexperience. I really don't think our defense can stop any offense consistently right now regardless of how injury-depleted or talent-deficient they are. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I'll be very surpised if we cover a 12-point spread. |

If we're being honest, Wisky and OSU are probable losses - Mouton or no Mouton. If Mouton is limited to the point that he's worse than Moundros or JB I'd prefer to see him sit, but I don't think he's going to be the difference in the Wisky or OSU games. If he gives us the best shot to win this Saturday I say play him. Tomorrow's our best chance at another win this season and I want the best shot at that. |

the oath is more like "I swear to make every spectacular catch possible and then drop a large percentage of the easy catches that hit me right between the numbers". I loved Braylon, but I can't be the only one who found him to be maddeningly inconsistent, can I? Henne was better off throwing it high to him so he had to make a great play than hitting him in the hands. As great as his MSU performance was, anytime I see Braylon I think of that game and then immediately think of the 4th down drop against OSU. Pretty much sums up his career - at least the way I remember it. |
