I finally figured out Monroe's true identity: www.ohio.edu/finearts/art/faculty-staff/profiles.cfm




LOL! Just kidding, Monroe.

Anybody that watches or has played sports knows that CONSISTENCY is the key to winning and Championships.  So, to not worry about our lack of consistency is fool hearty.  We need more consistent PG play, more consistency 3 point shooting by the wing guys, more consistent rebounding by the biggs, and more consistent production from the bench.

As I already stated you don't have to play a perfect 40 minutes to win. Nobody will play a perfect game consistently. So yes you don't have to play a full game consistently to win a championship. If we consistently come out slow and then consistently come out firing in the second half and win. Then we are consistently winning. Which is all I care about and which is all that matters. Now would it be easier to win if we came out faster. yes, but lets be fair. Its hard to do that when you are playing an inferior opponent away from home in front of a tiny crowd. especially when there's a target on your back. We are one of the top teams in the conference, teams are going to be coming out with a lot of energy trying to beat us and that's not an easy thing to match. So there really is no reason to hit the panic button. we're winning games.... by 19. why are we concerned.

No one's panicking.  But let's whup the lesser teams early and get our young/new players a lot of playing time.

Campbell is coming on, Bean seems to be getting better.  Wilkins good.  Jon = Jon.  Nick being Nick.  Stevie and Setty are energy.  Etc.   I'm hoping Mo starts to realize how superior he can be.  The development should help cure the inconstency, I'd hope.

No huge gripe from me, though.  This team has generally been a lot better than 4 months ago I thought.  I like the way we play together.  Our good stretches are pretty fine.  Let's just get knock the 'nothing' stretches down by 50%.

To paraphrase a prominent vice presedential debate point.

I know Monroe and Robert....that's not Monroe .....:LOL 

Interesting though..... I had no (not know) idea that Eldridge was connected with OHIO. That name has been etched on my brain for 3 decades.....thanks for the post. I l'arned sumthin today.

Follow?

Oh yeah ... good point (per your drivel) is saying we should have been up 8-10 at half when, in fact, you didn't see the 1st half.  Take a step back .. THINK before you post!

LOL! I forgot about that...

which part?

I had the pleasure of spending time with Monroe. He does not remind me of Mr Eldridge much.

There are a great many artists in our family. Way back when I was an adolescent that name popped up and it has stayed with me resurfacing in conversations over family dinners off and on. Odd names like that and Wilberforce, for example, have always piqued my interest. Thank goodness for the internet where so much info comes so fast and answers a great many of the questions that I do not even know exist.
