Interesting couple of games tonight:

PSU@tOSU, 7pm:
Penn State started out 0-9 in the league and looked just dreadful but in their last two games they took Purdue to OT and won in Evanston.  Have they turned a corner?  For their part, the Buckeyes have won two of their last three but they couldn't shoot in Ann Arbor, the UNL win looks less impressive almost each day, and the other win was at home over Rutgers.  I see the Buckeyes as a borderline tournament team and this is a game they probably can't afford to lose.  

Iowa@Indiana, 9pm:
Indiana lost seven straight and looked to be dead in the water then walked into the Breslin Center and upset the league-leading Spartans.  I'm not sure that anybody saw that coming.  The problem for the Hoosiers is that one big win isn't going to erase the aforementioned seven-game losing streak.  I see them as a borderline tournament team much like the Buckeyes and they probably can't afford a home loss in a winnable game like this one.  Iowa comes in at 6-5 including a nice home win over Michigan in their last outing but they have lost two of their last three and obviously it would be preferable for them to not make that into three of four.

I didn't even see the legs wrapped around Fernando until today.

Still think they should have reviewed it. Perhaps would have cleared the air about a few things so fans and outsiders wouldn't have jumped to conclusions, like even I did.

Kyle Young back for the Buckeyes

What a disastrous end to the first half for the Buckeyes!

Aside from the fact that they are the worst, why did Adidas change Indiana's uniforms to keep them basically the same, but just look substantially cheaper?

After a decade living here, I still don't have any feeling one way or another towards IU or PU (other than loads of observations about the fans), but I do want to assault adults who waltz around wearing IU candy striped pants.    That's so much more wrong than the Packers zubaz pants that used to torment me in the 90s in WI.

how about red & white striped bib overalls?

Why does Nike change everyone's uniforms, and never change their own logo? It's called branding. Yet, Nike SKOOLS allow them to manipulate their own brands.

bib overalls maybe, but not when you're out of school, similar to my jersey policy.  If you are older than the player, don't wear it.    Though my own personal jersey policy is not to own one, until that person is dead  (see  O.J., R Rice, traded players, other scandals, etc.)

Short term gains to sell some merch, but trading away long term brand awareness.  I'm just glad we haven't put a UNC player on our jersey yet, although I assume it's coming at some point

Hey, I'm only like 6 months older than Drew Brees. Is that within the acceptable window?
