1) The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Boeckman and Pryor may be used in plays together in the Fiesta Bowl. I am not sure why any source close to the program would leak such information, and I am not sure why the Dispatch reported it. Maybe the Buckeyes wanted Texas to have something extra to think about, but I have the feeling there is more to this report than just that! I think this had the ability for success, but why does the media have to know this before the game is played?

2) The Buckeyes got it handed to them on the court today 76-48 by Huggins' West Virginia squad. Lighty's absence hurt against an athletic Moutaineers team, but there was more to the game than just that. The Buckeyes probably aren't yet up to defending a #13 ranking, but they are extremely young. With the Big Ten ahead of them, the Buckeyes need bounce back with much better shooting! The sky is not falling!

3) Lee Corso is over the top on many occasions, but he does speak what is on his mind. I enjoyed what he had to say this afternoon prior to the Meinke Car Care Bowl. When asked about Notre Dame's 49-21 win over Hawaii, Corso had tough words for the Irish program. He made it clear the bar had been lowered in South Bend, and that Irish fans should not be gloating about a 7-6 record, and a bowl victory over a 7-7 Hawaii team. I could not agree more! I am sick of hearing the arrogance from Notre Dame fans, and I am glad that Corso put this win into perspective!
