I’m not sure what it means either..

Well, here we are, yet another Monday morning. I’ll assume everyone has their coffee in hand, so let’s  get right to it.

Personally, I’m ambivalent on bumper stickers, unless your rust bucket needs them to keep its fenders and bumpers in place. Well, you know at some point this had to happen, and in SEC country, no less.

A few days ago, Charles had an interesting article< on recommended football rules changes contemplated by the NCAA. Not that I think the recommendations are particularly interesting, but Charles’ interpretation of their impact certainly is. If you haven’t read the article, you should.

Women’s Basketball

In last week’s Musing’s, I thought that the team came off a couple games where I thought they showed substantial improvement. After the offensively inept Valentine’s Day loss (39-58) at Nebraska, I clearly was overly optimistic, or don’t know what I’m talking about.

Tayler Hill’s 20 points (7/22 FG, 32%) was probably the offensive highlight, such as it was. Her teammates combined shooting (9/41, 22%) didn’t take the pressure off her. The other eye-popping statistic was the team’s assist/turnover ratio of 3/13; you don’t need to go much beyond that to get the gist of offensive futility that night.

Hopefully, a week’s worth of shoot arounds before the Minnesota game will cure their ills.

Men’s Basketball

After getting taken to the woodshed by Indiana, they barely made it back in time this week to get a harder-than-it should-have-been win (69-59) against a depleted Northwestern team. In a segue from the Women’s Basketball, maybe some shoot arounds will be in store for the Men’s team. That was a painful experience, and kudos to Joe for writing the unwritable.

Women’s Golf

The Buckeyes kicked off the spring schedule hosting the 18th-annual Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge earlier in the week. The three-day, 54-hole tournament will be played at the par 71, 6,017-yard Palos Verdes Golf Club.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Finally for this week,  Ryan at The Buckeye Empire had a pretty sobering article on happenings in the former Evil Empire. So, for those of us who’d like to see a meteor strike to occur, oh, for example when Wolverines and Fightin’ Irish play, careful what you wish for..

So, what do you have in store for the week?
