I enjoy when there are doubleheaders, as I don't specifically drive down to Athens to watch the women's team. #4 Johnson & #5 Stover look like they may become very good players for Ohio, so I think the future remains quite bright even though great talent was graduated. I would expect them to contribute early on.
Since it was a great weather day, I decided to drive down early and walk the campus a bit. Athens is about as beautiful as a campus could get about this time of year. Got to walk around New South, and check out some of the dorms I lived in, as I think they're slated for removal relatively soon. And I also found out there are 'new' apartment buildings all over by Lakeview/Riverpark area, no idea how long they've been there. A lot less green space over there now for certain though.
It was nice to see the freshman group play... For probably about 10 minutes. He started 5 freshmen. But it became evident no matter how gassed the freshmen were, he wasn't pulling them. I think only 1 upperclassman played. And I think some players maybe never subbed out the entire game, or only once if they were. Not sure if there was some discipline going on or what.
If I knew Boldon was going to tank and play 95% of minutes by first year players, I may have kept up my campus tour for a couple hours longer. Disappointing, and painful for all in attendance to watch.
