Mobley is on now after a rough looking start

Loyer is a bitch

Ivan with some great D and then an offensive board and dunk back at the other end

Big win today fueled by awesome long range gunning (program record 18 3s), but there were some stretches of mind numbingly stupid play (most notably repeatedly dribbling into turnovers against the press and forcing telegraphed passes into double teams). They are what we think they are, but when they compete on the boards (they did today) and Elsa’s aggressive and not getting hosed with b.s. foul calls, they’re a threat to anyone except the handful of truly elite teams. Kitts was horrific again, and it seems like we’re unlikely to get anything out of her this season as she tries to get back to pre-injury form.

The officiating has been shockingly balanced and fair so far

19-19

19-19 with 8 to go in the 1st half. The shots stopped all falling for Purdue.

Boys are hanging in there. More active on glass on both ends

Cliff Branch for us old timer. Skeets Nehemiah the hurdler too.Branch ran a 10.0 100 meters.

63 mph top speed? Please. What self respecting Bulldog gonna let himself be seen anywhere near that airborne go-kart?

Purdue just draining everything this is gonna get ugly

4 minutes in and Purdue had already gotten 2 wide open 3s and made them both.

Meanwhile Mobley is in chuck everything up mode and missing everything at the other end.

They are a ‘cute’ team they only win whenThornton goes off. Everybody seems fine with it, a winter diversion till spring practice.

Yeah but every practice would've started out with everyone punching him right in the face for being a douchebag.

IF nobody punched McCord in the face for those pregame "dances", then i think he would have be fine!

I just don't think McCord was that good. I think McCarthy would have been at least as good if not better with the talent and coaching he would have gotten at OSU. His mobility would have made the difference.

yeah....the only Buckeye close to Ginn level of speed after 20 yards was Parris Campbell...Joey Galloway as well. Come to think of, I can't think of many NFL players who were faster than Ginn....if any. Darrell Green ? Willie Gault? Jamaal Charles? I'm sure there are more but none showed it consistently in straight line like Ginn did. Elusiveness buys some speedsters space to run....Ginn was never elusive per se but just ran away from people. I wish I'd seen Bob Hayes and Paul Warfield in person to judge them more

I think Ginn may have been the fastest Buckeye ever. But Campbell and Galloway will give him a run for his money. But overall, I’d say Chris Johnson and Marquise Goodwin are 2 of the fastest straight line guys I’ve seen. And also throw in Trindon Holliday who gets forgotten. He competed in the olympic trials.

Curtis Samuel was a burner as well, on the field and the track. 4.31 40 (same time as Parris Campbell).

Yep, just look at how, once they had to stop cheating, JJ Leaf went from Heisman favorite to a barely capable game manager. Vikings front office should all be thrown out of a helicopter after taking this fool's gold with the 11th pick.

His mobility would have made the difference. Regardless, neither are really NFL caliber QBs and it shines a light on the level of incompetence at some NFL Front offices.

Nah - he wasn't better than McCord. He wasn't even allowed to play Quarterback even in a system that was blatantly cheating.
