The big man makes a difference just being in the game. Opens things up for other and it's tied...not for long, Butler for 3!

17-14

I don't know if that assembly line commercial sells any underwear, but it gets me to look up whenever that music plays, just to see those boobs inflate every time. :biggrin:

IF we win, the next game would be at St. John. Great chance for some youngsters to experience a game there if we can get this one.

I love seeing the Buckeyes playing well, but on the other hand, it is a bit depressing to see them playing so well (especially Lighty) a little too late. It's just like "where has this been?" :(

oh well, a Buckeye win is a Buckeye win.
