We are buckeye fans... no doubt about it! Sue was born in Columbus and I was raised there. The horseshoe is a shrine. Our colors are scarlet and gray. We were raised under the influence of Woody Hayes. But after a week of pain and heartache... it's time to talk about it.
I am tired of being embarrassed on national TV. It hurts when that Cincinnati NFL "what's his name" quarterback talks about his Alma mater being so much better than ours and we are the most over-rated team in the nation. Well last Saturday night we looked like it, and it looked like he was right...
But he's not and neither are any of those other "experts" across the land who are trashing our team. I know that our marching band could have played better than the team last week, but we have the best coach in the land (a friend of mine knows him on a first name basis) and the season is young. I trust Coach Tressel will use his faith to say and do the right things (this is not just about football). I trust that our guys will stop reading and listening to the press (good and bad) and just play to their potential. Let's put last Saturday where it belongs, in the past. But let's learn from it too.
Well another Saturday is just around the corner, and we will get out our colors and wear them proudly. The OSU flag is still waving in our front yard and we're ready to cheer our guys on as they "fight the team across the field..." By the way, we can wait until next year, when those California guys come to our house. And does anyone know where Troy is...? Go Bucks!

it could be worse, you could be a Michigan fan and be losing every weekend.
Recap . . . we lost to a Pac 10 school USC - not Utah - at least we weren't embrassed in our season opener for the second year in a row!
