For tonites game, it says he is also questionable, with the flu....

On gozips.com it also says Conyers is questionable today also, due to flu? Oh boy.....

He might just get more playing time tonite (Bardo), if what they are saying is true about Wood, with a knee sprain.....

I heard Ced is pretty messed up with his knees and it was a matter of time, didn't hear anything on Wood.

If he said that, why is he throwing McNees in there all the time!

Seems like an easy thing to do doesnt it? Do you know something we dont, do tell (about him not being in good standing with coach). Maybe because he is a "walk-on" and Coach D didnt recruit him, dont you always play scholarship over walk-ons?

Sounds like he was offered one, but if someone came along they liked better, oh well for Dials... that is why he left..."Ohio State fans had the same kind of appreciation for Dials two years ago when he walked on to the team. He played so hard and so well — he started nine of the 19 games he played in and averaged 4.5 points and 2.1 assists — that coach Jim O’Brien put him on scholarship for one year. The country-boy-makes-good story ended, however, when O’Brien couldn’t promise Dials that the scholarship would be renewed in 2004-05. If a more talented high-school senior came along, he was told, the full ride would go to that player. Rather than gamble on having to pay full tuition, Dials called Akron coach Keith Dambrot about transferring. Akron recruited him when he was scoring 2,180 career points, the 20 th-highest total in Ohio prep history, at Willard High School. "It was a tough decision, but it’s what I had to do," Dials said. "I know coach O’Brien was angry. He wanted me to stay. But I knew we could be special at Akron. I also wanted to win more."

Sorry, that will never happen with Coach D.

AMEN, Goddard needs to be put in that situationWe were talking about this afterwards and agreed that Goddard should have been put in with like a couple minutes remaining when we were down by 3 like that so that we would have a better chance of being able to hit a 3 with the way he can drill those shots to tie it up. And we Rowdies def would have loved to see some Peanut Butter Goddard time!HooplaLooks like I am not the only one that thinks this way....

So you guys are saying Ronnie Steward is definitely out as point? I dont agree with you, sorry....

Pretty sure he did not have a scholarship from the Buckeyes, thats why he transferred? The one he had was year to year, weren't giving it back, that is why he transfered.

Yeah Nick Goddard has done that before too, does he get more playing time? Not......Coach D doesnt care about the offense like the does the defense, dont you know that by now?

How do you let someone play that has 8 turnovers? He looked like he didnt want to be out there? I just don't get that one at all! Coach D made excuses afterwards about it, but none of them sounded realistic. Poor coaching there! When he threw that last pass right into Ken'ts hands I almost turned it off! Can anyone explain the Coaches decision on this?

I know next to nothing about redshirt rules, but Rivals.com lists Brooks graduated HS in 2006. If he started 30 games last year, I doubt that he would've had any time to redshirt.He is sitting out for transfer rules, doesnt practice or even sit with the team that I know of, don't think he travels either....

http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/t...ID=1&page=3they are having a tough time with Bubba's shot, basically say he lost the game...

Here is their akron thread....http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/t...&PID=135580

Guys, its on ESPNU, how many people get that channel? Not many....

So that's what happened!!!Nice read. Maybe Ced should follow Zippy to Channel 3 tomorrow. I know it's not as glamorous as ESPN, but hey, ya gotta start somewhere.Now wait a minute, this was in PD on 13th and today Beacon has the exact same article.... what up with that?

Coach D says he wants to get it down to a 9 man rotation though, so who will be left out I wonder?

Didn't everyone think that about Chris McKnight too?

If you're ineligible, there's no practice. You can't even attend practice as an observer. You'd like to think that Chris McKnight might have discussed the playbook with his little 'bro over Thanksgiving, however. In Steward's case, he practiced only briefly before the injury.Pretty sure Steward won't be playing Wednesday, the other two, yes.... but they have just started practice like the others have said, so not sure what kind of impact they are going to have this week.....

What I said! Agreed, and are we that bad that people think this is going to make the difference? Don't see it... don't think they will impact that much.....

Their freshman remember, I just don't see them getting that much minutes, and I think Steward will be redshirted... we will see

Good article today on Ced in the plain dealerhttp://www.cleveland.com/collegesports/pla....xml&coll=2
