Sullinger being out for a couple of weeks may make this team a better club going forward. With him in the lineup he was going to get the bulk of the minutes. With Sullinger on the bench for a week or two it may give his backups some quality PT in games. They may lose to Kansas but giving Ravanel and Williams some PT may just be the best thing for the team.

So what is Scrap going to pick out for Brutus' sig?
Brutus' new (two-week) sig:
Columbus, OH, home of scarlet-colored glasses since 1870
Very sad news. Former Buckeye Brent Darby has passed away at age 30.

Former OSU guard Brent Darby has died in a Detroit hospital. Apparently he was hospitalized last night with blood clots in his legs, potentially stemming from a heart surgery he had earlier this year. Horrible news.

Umm... is Brutus welching on his bet?? Just asking.
There was never any bet actually made. There was talk of a bet... but that's all it was. No one ever agreed to any actual terms and said we're doing it. I was wrong either way, about my assertions, and in fact, Kentucky stayed atop the polls, so it really doesn't mater at this point.
I find it odd you care, however... especially since you were not involved in that banter. If you were so concerned by it, why are you just now, after the fact, chiming in?

Just thought it was funny you were so adamant about something that, in fact, never happened.
BTW: Question for you Buckeye fans: Which team do you think is going to be better overall, last year's team or this year's team?
Interesting question. Sullinger, Craft, and Bufford all should be better over last year, or at least you would hope. They will miss Lighty the most and I think they will miss Lauderdale as well. I think Diebler's skill set will be missed at times but think his overall game is replaceable. I also think the bench has the ability to be deeper and improve as the season goes along. The big wildcard is DeShaun Thomas. If he can buy into the system and be the player he has been so far this year they will be very dangerous.
I think last year's team was the best in college basketball. Caught a draw in the tournament and had match up problems with UK. I think this team may be better than last year's team but I think all of college basketball is better. Finally I am firm believer that you don't win with freshman. You don't win when you best players are freshman. In the end its all about match ups.
