one worse and one worser and one worstest moments from this past weekend


Catchy title eh?

Big game in Fresno last Friday night. The students, fans, and alumni wanted to show their support by dressing up in unison. A white-out was ordered, and executed to perfection, one problem though, the bulldogs came out wearing red from tip to toe, visiting Boise St. wearing all white.

Ohio St. winning 21-0 in the second quarter, on Toledo's three yard line. At the least we are going up 24-0. After 2 running attempts that did not result in a touchdown, Ohio State "fans" started booing. I know I said Terrelle's post game comments after the Navy game were embarrassing, but that was one 19 year old kid, whose words did not match what he was feeling, 3,000 " adult fans" booing a bunch of kids that are WINNING THE GAME 21-0 is inexcusable and embarrassing and redneck and short tempered and disappointing and unsophisticated and regrettable and disheartening and upsetting and sickening.


Barry Schwartz came within one and a half measly points from winning a 10 play football card that would have won him 3000 large. He had the over in the Steelers/Bears game, now that I think about it, he might have had the Steelers as well, ( I was yelling at my kids and my wife was yelling at me and Barry had been enjoying the awesome Bengal action down at the local) Either way 8 0r 9 out of 10 in the NFL is great days work.

When is a loss not a loss and some other almost interesting stuff




Never. And with Ohio State stealing defeat from the jaws of victory yet again ( Texass, Penn St. ) I am forced to take away something besides the elation a win would have provided. I thought the players looked as fast and as big as USC. Something I did not expect to see. So even though the dejection is palpable I feel much better about the program going forward than I did after the win against Navy.

We have lost 2 of last 3 games, to top five teams, in the games final seconds, truly agonizing defeats.

Daniel " Bum " not " Boom " (correctly dubbed by my father-in-law) Herron is completely average and is a long, long, very long ways away from his predecessor.

This set of starting linebackers are completely average, I don't see any of them ever getting any kind of significant playing time at the next level.

I really like the Sears Brett Farve commercial.

After staying in a third hotel in a month ( I will, and have, gone years without staying in a hotel ) I really wish someone would open a chain of Hotels for germ-o-phobes like me. Where all the sheets, towels, blankets, etc. would be sterilized in an laundry autoclave. No carpet or rugs. Steam clean the floors and use hospital quality sanitizer everyday in every room. A sanitized bed cover over the matress and box springs would be nice. This is a can't miss.

Duron Carter, pictured above, should have caught the ball, even though he was triple covered, as the buckeyes were trying to get to into game tying field goal range at the end of the game.

To me, it was the loudest Ohio Stadiun has ever sounded on television.

more terrelle




It's not the Vick patch that is so embarrassing, it's the post game comments. He could have said something like.... He made many mistakes, we all know it, hopefully everyone, especially Mike Vick, will learn from this. He was one of my favorite players as I was growing up and I just wanted to let him know that my thoughts are with him as he goes through this tough life lesson that he brought upon himself....

or something like that. That, potentially, could have made this situation a positive for him and the University that he works for.

Vest e your making me teste.



This is from Ken Gordon, Columbus Dispatch. "Tressel said he plans to let backup quarterback Joe Bauserman direct a drive against Navy, somewhere around the Buckeyes' third, fourth, or fifth possession."
As much as I love and defend and respect coach Vest(I tried to get my wife to at least consider the possibility of naming our first son Tress (no dice)) I have to disagree with this thought process.
I understand wanting to get Bauserman snaps with the first team, please don't do it in the first quarter of the first game.
What if
1. The offense is stagnate or turns the ball over the first couple of drives
2. The O scores on the second or third series, you are then going to bring in the backup? Destroying the mo?
3. The O-line sucks and we need a mobile qb?

Please let him start the first drive of the fourth quarter, then the third, fourth, or fifth series against Toledo.

LeGarrette Blount's ( who somehow did not make this post) post game actions should lead to a lengthy suspension if not out right dismissal which will then begin a precipitous drop of his draft position.

Holy Crap




Only 3 days until the Ohio State Terrelle Pryor's take the field, and only 3 weeks until I hear endless griping about the meaning of preseason rankings, the lack of playoff, how big money controls the bowl system, is the Heisman trophy for the best player on the best team or the most talented player from any team, which conference is the best, how coaches don't have time to vote for the coaches poll, why is division I the only division to not have a playoff,..........
