Re: Sylvester

[jon breiner]

to clarify, I was celebrating.  :)

Seriously, I prefer seeing them not do so well when they go elsewhere as 
it makes me feel better about "losing" them.  When they are Cincy guys 
who go elsewhere, I feel better with an added little tingle.  My wife 
thinks I should go to the doctor as it should not be causing a tingle. 
I cannot explain it other than simply relate that it happens.

As for Sylvester, based on his current level of improvement, he'd see 
little to no playing time on this year's UC team and I did not expect 
that when he went to OSU.  I have no explanation for his lack of 
improvement, only (like my tingle) that it exists.

As for the schedule thing, other than this year, UC usually plays a very 
tough OOC schedule, but has issues when it comes to conference strength. 
OSU plays in a better conference, but that is ending shortly so looking 
into the future, the point is moot.
