Just trying to offer a differing opinion here. Have a nice day.

I really don't think you were being confrontational, however, when you begin a post by saying

Not trying to be confrontational here, but if you watch the tape of the end of the game, no Wisconsin fans really come close to Sullinger

you are kinda implying that it may not have happened. That would refute what Sully has reported hence your implication is really implying that Sully was lying.

That isn't a difference of opinion either that you would have been offering up for others to consider. It was an implication that casts doubt on the truthfulness of Sully's comment.

Again I don't think your intent was to be confrontational but I hope you can see how it could come across as confrontational by its implication.

Thank you for reading this and have a nice day.

When Ohio State men's basketball star Jared Sullinger gets his butt in gear, he runs over foes

Ohio State freshman Jared Sullinger, right, often is not the tallest player on the floor, but he knows how to use his big backside to get into optimum position. Here, he works against Michigan State's Derrick Nix in Tuesday's win in Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Jared Sullinger had soft hands and nimble feet, great balance and an understanding of the nuances of the game. Yet when Michael Clouse first set his eyes upon Sullinger five years ago, and he knows how this sounds, one thing stood out.

"I immediately fell in love with his butt," Clouse said.

Now as an Ohio State freshman, Sullinger has taken that part of his body and bulled his way through the Big Ten men's basketball season, not only because he has it, but because he knows how to use it.

His butt is a feature of his athleticism as much as Dallas Lauderdale's wingspan, Aaron Craft's quick feet or David Lighty's explosion. It's a unique trait that gives Sullinger an edge at what he does best -- which is to maneuver inside, whether grabbing rebounds, pinning a defender while making a post move or creating a wall so other teammates can drive to the basket.

Sullinger remembers well the main lesson he learned from Clouse.

"My butt is my best friend," Sullinger said.

Well, the facts are Sullinger claims it happened in the tunnel, and he's never said anything to contradict that. He urged OSU fans to not spit on opponents if they rushed the court, but he never said HE was spat on while on the court when UW fans rushed the court. He said somebody spat on him when he went through the tunnel (which was while the fans were rushing the court). Matta said the spit happened when the students were rushing the court, but I'm pretty sure Jared never said that. I've yet to see a video that shows him going through the tunnel. UW fans are clinging to videos that aren't really relevant and inconsistencies between reports from Matta and Sullinger to believe it didn't happen.

Bucky fans coming here and saying nothing happened when we all know the character of the kid and he has no agenda. Well, I just want to punch them. Everyone in the Big Ten knows about Wiscy fans and State Penn fans. They are the worse! :pissed:

Wow really? I think Sully's example of restraint would be a lesson to us all.

So... I am watching this Sully, Diebs, Craft Karyoke bit on ESPN and while I am sure he is not, Sullinger looks like he is high as a kite.... Living in South Carolina now, I don't get a lot of Buckeye basketball coverage unless it is on ESPN and had net previously seen any interview with the POY to be...

High school basketball: Northland's Sullinger plans to retire


Northland High School boys basketball coach Satch Sullinger will retire from coaching after this season, he said today. Sullinger, 61, said he made the decision after recent soul-searching.
"Honestly, it's not something I've been thinking about. It just hit me that the time is right," he said.
"I thought about all the things over the years that I've been missing -- missing being a father and a grandfather and losing half of the Ohio State basketball season (because he doesn't typically attend road games).
Sullinger will leave behind a legacy of winning at Northland, especially in recent seasons.
He was named national boys coach of the year for the 2009-10 season. He led Northland to the Division I state title in 2008-09.
The Vikings have won five consecutive City League championships, four with Sullinger's youngest son, Jared, now a freshman star at Ohio State.
Sullinger said he plans to continue teaching at Northland through 2014.
