    Stu,

    Congratulations on the win today. A disappointing loss but The Boilers played an upbeat game and deserved the win.

    I thought for sure Purdue would blow that.

    Thanks, Don...the guys really played hard. They were embarrassed by the Wisconsin game and their reaction could have gone either of two ways.

    I have been on the fence about Danny Hope, but the way they responded certainly speaks well for him.

    Good win for the Boilers, I thought for sure OSU would run over you guys.

    Is Hope rotating Marve and Terbush?

    I think the Buckeyes don't want the Gators to be too lonely down at the Gator Bowl....... :D

    Still rotating. I don't like the idea, but I do see improvement in Marve and if one goes down the other has plenty of experience.

    All OSU had to do to win at the end of regulation was kick the extra point. The announcer said they had been perfect all year..........and it gets blocked. Go figure.

    Congrats to your Boilers Stu....they did a great job running that offense early and when they needed to late. Had a good plan to take away what we like to run on offense and battled hard in the trenches.

    Our offense is a work in progress with the young QB even under the best of circumstances, but losing Shugarts and Philly Brown just makes it that much less effective. It will be nice to get Posey back. The defense...I just don't know what to say....I've been complaining all year about the poor tackling and it just doesn't get any better. On a positive note, we did see a star in the making finally get on the field. Shazier could well be our next monster LB.....he looks like he can be special.
