Turk proclaimed "top 10 team" OSU is being destroyed by MD. Losing by 41 points as I type.

We should be able to pick up a victory at their house as we are the better team. Even a modicum of shooting and we would have swept them this season.

Teams can fall apart. Context is everything. When Turk said that, OSU won like 7 in a row and beat a Kentucky team on the road.

Likewise, your comments are best put in a durational context, insomuch that they may appear foolish if I take them out of context when we play OSU again and use your words against you. Almost always, the better team is the team that won. I agree with you, today, that we are the better team today, but that doesn't mean we will be the better team tomorrow. In fact, we may fall apart. Besides, my comments were in support of our team, ie, commenting that we lost to 3 "Top 10 caliber teams". At the time I said that, OSU was playing as one and beat one.

More importantly, we need to beat a top 20 team [iowa, purdue, etc] and I think we can, but we must to get NCAA consideration. And, we have to beat OSU at OSU, but I don't share the same conclusion as you that we will. I'm pulling for you on this one though.

Only OSU didn't fall apart. They played the same way vs. Maryland as they did vs. us. They are just not very good.
