That's what my schedule says, but you know I might have an alternate universe schedule distributed by bobcatsquared.

All the Beef players are monitoring BA regularly.

They will think it a home game and some may miss the bus to Athens.

I refuse to believe Boals loses to Whitesell twice in the regular season. Huge game. Win this one and we can rip off more W's leading up to Kent game.

I haven't been to the Convo in a while but might make it Tuesday night.

Where is the best place to park? Still Peden?

You predicted Ohio was in good shape prior to the first game between these two teams because of the Whitesell factor, no?.

I certainly did. Whitesell was a horrible hire and one of the worst coaches in the country. I have made this statement several times and stand by it. Thus, Boals can't lose to him twice during the regular season.

And, in the very unlikely event that he does, are you opening the FireJeffBoals.com website?

The team that nobody wants to . . . (fill in the blank). I'm not going to say it out loud . . . not yet! ;-)

Big one for seeding in Cleveland tonight. Would love to avoid Kent, Akron, or Toledo in first round. Get agitated Bobcat fans!!

If they weren’t shooting more terribly than us it would be a totally different game. I think if I were Boals, I would reduce the rotation to the guys who have been minimally effective. Wilson, the 2 Browns, Elmore, Baker and a few others. No wiz, no Clayton.

Did we finally find a rotation?

Not gonna win a ton of games with a 6’5” PF, but this line-up seems to be executing.

Best and most entertaining defensive effort of the year.

We are getting a whole lot more from Baker ad of late. Don't want to let that go unmentioned.

D was great. James really coming on. Wilson & Hunter consistent. Baker certainly improving. 5 in double figures scoring. Good momentum at the right time with this team....

Attendance Sucked....but once again a Blue Lot parking pass meant closer walk to Seamans than Convo....

Right on. I've been as hard on Baker as anyone this year. However, he seems to have found something and what a difference it makes. Hope he can just continue it down the stretch.

As disappointed as I am in the student crowd tonight, the Brazilian group carried us. I was apart of a group of 8-9 near the band and we tried to stay loud throughout the game. #23 of Beefs came up to us before game and wanted to see the dirtsheet which we thought was hilarious. We bantered with him for the game - he went 1-11 from three. Brazilians were chanting for Dwight at the end of the game and he actually came into the student section to celebrate with them!!!!

Yeah - The Brazilians were engaged and loud as per usual. At one point we had a player at the FT line and they all started making noise and the OHIO guys on the bench were all like "WTH - Why are they making noise"? Of course they were not aware of the annual Brazilian contingent game.....
