per the STrib who previews next four games, including:

vs. Wisconsin (8 p.m. Jan. 22, BTN)
The scary: The Buckeyes are still undefeated, despite playing arguably the toughest schedule in the nation (they are currently No. 1 in RPI and No. 3 overall on kenpom.com)

The scarier: We know all about Bucky's defense, but what about this offense? Kenpom ranks Wisconsin as the third most efficient offense in the country, powered by their extremely balanced lineup.

The silver lining: The Badgers haven't hit the meat of their schedule yet. Is Wisconsin battle-tested or exhausted? Yes, Wisconsin had a tough non-conference schedule, comparably -- considering most teams do not face seven top-100 teams during that slate -- but they have yet to see the league's best. The win vs. Iowa was good, but close , and at home. How will the Badgers fare against the conference elite on the road? We still don't know that yet.

Go Gophers!!
 

Once again Amelia doesn't take the time to proofread her work. She reminds me of myself, freshman year of college.

Let me tell you Amelia, nobody will know as they dodge both OSU and MSU on the road....unless you categorize Iowa and Illinois as conference Elite.

I don't understand how she can call herself a professional journalist when she has errors in almost every piece. Content, and grammar.

Yeah, I agree. As much as I hate Myron, at least he had the basics down.

She should take a crash course in professional journalism through GopherHole Tech.

Who is going to be the first to write that content and grammar isn't important on the internet?

I thought it was GHCC...

There are plenty of jackass grammar police on here. I don't care if someone f's up spelling on a site like this, she should do better, but it doesn't bother me much either.
 



The spelling and grammar isn't the issue with this most recent article. It is referring to Wisconsin as the Buckeyes. A quick skim would catch such a glaring error.
 

Fuller produces so much more content than Rayno and he is covering all Gopher Sports. He's definitely got the beat writer edge for the metro papers.

Yep. His coverage is second to none. ESPN would have been smart to hire him instead of Myron. But this way it is better for us. I would hate it if our only two beat reporters were Myron and someone like Amelia.

I guess... if you're into "theives" instead of "thieves" or "bonafide" instead of "bona fide".

I guess... if you don't mind frequent extra spaces ("such as Villanova and Iowa State"; "The win vs. Iowa was good, but close , and at home").

I guess... if this language works for you: "...Ohio State is no longer undefeated after dropping their first loss to MSU"...

Have to imagine there's more of a story behind the scenes and the intentions are probably very good.
