tOSU @ Maryland, Sat Nov 19, 3:30 pm, ABC

It's funny you say that. I was in like 7th or 8th grade and my teacher said I was horrible with comma splices in my writing. I didn't know what the hell she was talking about then and I still don't know what one is now or if I still use them a lot. Lol.

i had to work really hard to overcome it also; I had a college professor make me feel like I shouldn’t have graduated from high school. I took a vigorous approach in learning when to correctly use hyphens, colons and semi colons and it changed my writing so drastically it became a big reason why my professional career propelled a bit.

Got a chuckle about the use or mis-use of commas in the above. Worry that the kids of nowadays won't know how to write on pencil and paper. Yeah, public HS (and JHS) worked diligently on writing, diagramming sentences (ugh), so one could compose correctly. Toughest for me was the colon/semi-colon distinction. Then came along graduate school (MBA tOSU '76), where they tore all that apart to teach us the elements of 'business writing'. Now these young 'uns don't even know how to loop the L in a cursive manner. PS, all this fabled 'spell-check' etc doesn't have an inkling on how to punctuate a sentence......

Oh yeah. Meant to say (before sidetracked) that methinks that tOSU will show a very vanilla offense and defense. Get the starters some work, and hopefully Day will pull the starters early (!) to avoid injuries, and get some of the 2's some badly needed work. Afterall, next week is Xichigan Week, and all of Knowles unshown D wrinkles will come out. Not certain if the O has something hidden, so who knows. It's gonna be a fight for the ages.....Go Bucks!

I'm with you, I don't think we show much today if we don't have to. We just need to win the damn game, not murder them and put up stats... don't get me wrong, a murderous stat sheet would be nice, but not if it risks injury or shows ttun too much. Either way, looking forward to this one.
