This board is fun for theorizing. Wilky can tell me if that's a real word.
Any new head coaches next year? What do you all think?
what about OSU staff? any new assistants? (I am of the belief they're not going to can Tinkle)

(I am of the belief they're not going to can Tinkle) Theorizing is the present participle of theorize. It is a word, but it is a gerund. "Theorizing" is a word, but a word that should be used in moderation. |

Theoretical is a word that can be utilized to theorize or theorizing or theory - so , theoretically , you will never be pulled over by the English posse !

Balaban's Theory:
In Theory, Theory and Reality are the same.
In Reality they are different.

And what, exactly, is the problem with using a gerund in this context? Nouns can be fun, too.

There is a school of thought that gerunds should only be used, when absolutely necessary, and it is not absolutely necessary to use a gerund there. In fact, use of a gerund creates an ambiguity as to meaning, which appears unintended from context. I have been taught that it would be better to reword the sentence to replace the gerund, but that does not make the original sentence incorrect by any means. |

(I am of the belief they're not going to can Tinkle) Good question. With the no-season possible and the truncated recent season, I expect there is lots of time for evaluation. What will come of it is just another unknown. |
