SIlly me, I thought the statewide AILMENT was a complex of symptoms most easily recognized by an unhealthy obsession with scarlet and grey and easily observed by noting a confligration of empty Wal Mart bags and marking of territory and possessions with big "O"s in addition to unhealthy twitchy spelling affliction acted out by spelling the name of another school.

NDSU 20-8 under coach Tim Miles in 06-07. In 07-08 NDSU was 16-13 with Saul as a rookie coach. The following year kind of looks like Solich 2nd year. His team went 26-7 and lost in the first round of NCAA. Then it doesn't look good for a few years, 09-12 NDSU goes 42-47. Anyone wondering why OHIO didn't go after Saul when Groce left just needs to look at that number 42-47. JC was the right coach at the right time. It sucks that the OHIO players have 3 coaches in 4 years but you can't blame anyone for wanting to better themselves. In Saul's last two years at NDSU they went 50-16. I see everyone saying that next year is the year. I hope so but I doubt it. Looking at Saul coaching record at NDSU I think it will take 4 years. I think Saul is the right coach for OHIO and he will make us one of the top mid-major programs in the country. I'm just not expecting results anytime soon.

my thoughts-

- Cinci chili has the look, feel and taste of real chili that's been consumed and then filtered through a pig's colon.
- I don't feel like Bean's tweets are egregious.
- Referencing a senior that quit on his team is odd though, no?
- I'm reminded of early comments about Kendall Crute looking to be the best of the freshmen during his very brief time in Athens. 3 freshmen guards + Tone and Mo would be easier to stomach right now.
- Schaus made the right decision to hire JC. JC made the right decision to leave for BC. Schaus made the right decision to hire Saul. The only problem is the timing of JC's departure, and that's not Schaus's fault. I think our program will do better in the long term with Saul than it would with JC and that is a credit to Schaus.
- Our Sweet 16 team took a 2 game road trip north in the middle of conference play and suffered its biggest lost of the season at EMU after giving up a 15-0 lead at Toledo. This is not a Sweet 16 team, however.
- I thought we attacked the zone well in the beginning but when shots weren't falling the effort dropped off too quick.
- I think EMU has a significant home court advantage over the Bobcats, going from playing in front of 9K to 0.2K cannot be easy.

Gross...I wouldn't touch that Gold Star...or any Gold Star. I drive past 2 skylines and 2 gold stars to get to a specific skyline. I have one within walking distance of my house but only go there in an emergency. I also don't like people calling it Cincinnati chili. That makes it sound like they are all the same. It's skyline or nothing!!

Hey now, I like Skyline Chili and we have one here in Lyndhurst! And no culinary contribution? Pish Posh!! Michael Symon, Rocco Whalen, Jonathon Sawyer and other fine chefs highlight the Cleveland restaurant scene. And some of the finest restaurants in the USA can be found in Ohio City and in Tremont.

One of those statements is true.

And my wife wants to know where you live so she can come and kick your azz.

come on guys way too much talk about Cincinnati chili vs. the places to eat in Cleveland .... we all know that when it comes to quality eateries, Cleveland outnumbers Cincinnati by a landslide !!

Bean however has shown a strong desire to take ill advised shots whenever he damn well pleases ..I think he was pissed at MO for taking "his shot" in the Buffalo game and he just plays like it's him against the world .... He has been to the foul line only 28 times this year and shoots 85% from the line .... Bean does what Bean wants to do .. and penetrating getting fouled and dishing the ball ain't it .. Is he untouchable ? .. what's the deal ?

Camp Washington - the Best

I prefer Gold Star, but love Skyline too. It baffles me that people can despise one but love the other. Then again, I feel the same way about Coke/Pepsi, BK/McDs/Wendys, Dryers/Towels, IE/Chrome, T/A, etc...I think people get a little overly emotional about these things and let it cloud their judgment.

In my fridge as I type. That "condiment" is great on a Cincy Chili/Cheese Dog........

And also great on a Queen City brat.......

MO piss !!

My mother has not gone to some restaurants because they don't serve Coke. But seriously, anyone who prefers Internet Explorer needs help.

Ugh. I'm sure your mother is a lovely person, but that drives me crazy.
