The ohio.com article is probably correct in pegging DJ at 5'9".  See the vid after the Buffalo game: the woman interviewing DJ is clearly taller than he is.  I get it; we don't know her height.  DJ has pretty long arms and he played quite well--deserved MVP--in the tourney.  I'll catch flack for the height statement.  But if he's 6 feet or over, he's not at Ohio; he's at a 'bigtime' school.

Van stated the one point that is so true and which hardly anyone has commented on.  From near the four minute mark we absolutely had four guys standing around while, mostly, DJ dribbled.  We abandoned our offense and guys who weren't DJ looked nervous about having the ball.

The guys standing around were mostly near the baseline while DJ was near midcourt.  Why we didn't keep running our offense?.  Doesn't mean that we shouldn't have run clock; we just didn't make 'kron defend five guys.  We didn't  look to score, to create opportunities even as we ran the clock down--until there were mere seconds on the clock.

Elton is an idiot.  Have you EVER seen a championship game article in which the lead is the clear tourney and game MVP getting ripped?  DJ made a few bad plays (not good passes, mostly).  Every player does.  Buyt he has the ball so very much for us.  The article should have started and centered around that incredible looong3-pointer DJ made late as the clock hit toward zero--the semi-shotput.  How many guys make that shot?  How many have ever made such a shot?

Elton will pick both the football 'Cats with their better-than-ever squad and these hoop 'Cats who lose no one for 2nd from the bottom in the MACEast next season.  He's clearly in over his head.  Does he just watches the game on TV and writes his articles in five minutes with no editing or revisions?

For those who do not make OHIO volleyball, Leah is one of our esteemed volleyballers. Smart, pretty AND tall.

That statement says all you need to know.  Not that he would have learned that DJ missed intentionally, just that a man who covers the MAC didn't deem it necessary to stay for it.  [sarcasm]That man is a pro....[/sarcasm]

In fairness to Elton (yuck), many writers leave after the first team's press conference. Deadlines and such. Evan, who wrote our recap, did the same. I stayed and sent him Ohio's quotes.



For sure. A few deserving players this year didn't make it. Cvetinovic would've gotten votes if he had even a decent game Saturday, too. You could make a case for Juice Brown, Austin McBroom, etc.

What is up with Cleveland writers?

That is a really pointless and silly article. Looking at his tweets he seems a bit oafish. Can t find a bio save for his twitter claiming he has won 3 national awards.

And who didn't know who was playing in the second semifinal.

Please let me know if you see any such thing.

Not to mention that in such a short piece, he managed to bungle two very basic, easy-to-check facts.  The regular season isn't 18 games, and hasn't been for quite some time, and the Convo doesn't seat 14,000.

I want the last five minutes of my life back.  Positive drivel.

"The old Thursday afternoon q-final doubleheader was not big box office..."

Do they edit there?  At all?

Because newspapers are a real model in business that we should all strive to emulate. /sarcasm

Additionally, let me say that I love all of the score updates that @LivyPD puts out through his Twitter feed, he certainly understands exactly how to use the medium. /more sarcasm
