They've shown signs of swagger, real confidence early this season and last. But they're brittle, I think a part of their history, and frustrate quickly. <br /><br />Glad I'm not Arniel right now. <br /><br />FlaggerXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-65557016351609823312010-12-09T16:00:21.407-05:002010-12-09T16:00:21.407-05:00Thanks for the shoutout!

I have to think he's pressing pretty hard at this point because every stage of his career up to this point he's essentially been a point-per-game guy. 22 games with only 7 points puts him pretty far behind that pace. A pretty high number of his points this year have come on the PP, so maybe that's the solution to his AND the team's problem. I suppose we'll be finding out what the course will be as soon as Juice is fully recovered and ready to play.OSUJumpManhttp://www.twitter.com/osujumpmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-67815312711166832112010-12-09T15:11:45.147-05:002010-12-09T15:11:45.147-05:00I want to see this kid succeed so bad, and I feel ...I want to see this kid succeed so bad, and I feel like he does too. I can't remember what game it was but a while back he made a nice pass to someone who scored and he celebrated like he had put it in the net. I've never seen someone celebrate an assist but it was obvious he wants to break out of this slump. I think the trip to Springfield would indeed help but I don't know how he feels about that. I guess time will tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
