Although I’m not staying he IS staying, I am saying he SHOULD stay so I have to Disagree. If he doesn’t develop his game, he will be a one contract player. Yes he will have that one contract to make a shitload of dimes (apologies to Slim Pickens). But the real money comes with the second contract. If he doesn’t develop, which does not happen much at the highest level, he will be looking at a series of 10 day contracts at best. And THAT my friend, will cost him HUGE dollars.

You people who think Mullens is staying because he isn’t good enough right now to play in the NBA, you are totally, completely missing the point. NBA teams don’t draft based on how good you are now; they draft based on how good they think you can be. You can argue the wisdom of this method all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s what they do. NBA scouts will see an athletic seven-footer who can run. They will salivate over what they think he is capable of. They will be willing to draft him in the first round. And he would be stupid to pass up that kind of money, whether he’s “ready” or not. Plain and simple.

“Winning 6 games in a row in that format requires heart, skill, coaching and luck.”

Yep, you’re right. I’m not sure we could have delivered on those four requirements. Well, obviously not, as it turned out. Getting beat on the national stage doesn’t grate on me so much as, IMO, really looking bad in the fundamentals while doing it. Regarding, the girls, I figured I might as well get it all out of my system this weekend.

Anyway, Spring Game is around the corner, and in another few weeks getting my golf clubs out in western NY, then all will be right with the world. Thanks for the talk-down.

Yeah, I’m 52, and a 31 year season ticket holder for football, so I’ve seen it all. I don’t think there is any need to lower expectations per se. What needs to be done is understand how difficult it is to win a NC and not feel so disappointed when the Bucks fall short. Woody used to say, win the B10 and let the National Crap take care of itself. Now with the BCS, we can focus a little more on trying to win the Football title. Winning a Basketall title is sooo much harder than a football one. Winning 6 games in a row in that format requires heart, skill, coaching and luck.

By the way, I would be careful getting too focused on the girls. Based on their track record, they are heart breakers too.

TNB, good points, I can’t disagree with any of them. I’m in a better mood this morning, barely, but I still need to get my rant on. I’m in my late 50′s, so I have been an avid Buckeye fan for several decades. I’m getting to a point where I’m getting worn out by emotionally investing so much in tOSU’s teams. I may need to lower my expectations down to a more realistic level; tOSU may continue to be a strong regional “player” in basketball, football, etc, but nothing more. I cringe when they get on the national stage, they just aren’t geared for it. Nothing wrong with a few Big 10 titles and spanking Michigan every so often; just don’t expect bigger things.

Last night’s effort and results were horrific, and IMO did show a lack of heart. Blowing a send-half 11-point lead?! Getting our ass handed to us on the boards (blocking out, anyone?) by a much smaller team is completely inexcusable. The ball movement/handling against Siena’s press was terrible. I’m not sure if they were coached to pick up their dribble in a mid-court corner, or just decided to do it on their own. Not good at all.

OK, I feel a little better now, thanks. I think I’ll watch the Buckettes this afternoon to hopefully see some good, fundamental basketball.

I am happy to not have to watch the Louisville game now. Diebler needs an offensive game! Standing outside the three point line all game long doesn’t count.
