Taylor's (and Miller's) number is skewed low as the tournament didn't expand to 32 teams until 1975 and 64 in 1985.

ehhh....most of Taylor's seasons were very meh. He's carried by the high placement in the 5 years they were in the tournament (my system probably gives him more points than he should get honestly)....

Miller shouldn't have been fired when he was fired. That said, I started this in 1978-79, Miller had already been the coach for 2 years and neither one of those teams made the tournament. Edit to add: When the tournament expanded to 32 teams, Miller wasn't even the coach yet. He still didn't make the tournament until year 4.

The way I scored this was rewarding the placement of the game. A national final was worth 7 points, etc.

Matta remains the unicorn in Ohio State basketball history. It's not particularly close either.

Fred Taylor - 18 seasons, 25 points (26 if you want to give him 8 for the National Title). Taylor's points came in 5 of the 18 seasons.

Matta is a total unicorn.

With time comes the need for patience. The thing is, after listening to the Common Idiot and SoyBoyTimmy on 97.1 on the way home, I don't think patience is going to happen. Screaming "This is Ohio State, it should ALWAYS be like that" makes for nice soundbytes but it's not reality yet. To get there, you have to build it. It's not built.

I was in my 30's when that song came out, I remember it. I can't wrap my head around calling it "classic rock". Is Smash Mouth classic rock too now? Hey now, you're an all star... I don't think so.

Even more dishearteningly, there are more Buckeyes on Sweden than USA.

Ohio State

• Joy Dunne, USA
• Mira Jungåker, Sweden
• Jenna Raunio, Sweden
• Hilda Svensson, Sweden
• Sanni Vanhanen, Finland

There's three on each (four on Canada). Two of the USA players (Barnes and Bilka) are alums playing professionally.

American announcers are sleeping on Sweden. I can absolutely see them knocking off the Canadians to meet the US in the gold medal game.

Beautiful Buckeye day!

To me classic rock is Lynard Skynard, led Zeppelin, Elton John. The Allman Brothers.... For me, rock of the 90's is new.

Bilka gets her 2nd. 4-0 now.

I'll have seen the better side of 110. If Mike Brown is gone by then, and the nfl is all virtual... I just need to live to 120 to see the Bengals win a super bowl.

Bucks keep representing!

Edit: Score fixed from 2-1 to 2-0 after @JCOSU86 pointed out my error. No one told me there was going to be Math.

Hannah Bilka just gets goal #2 for the US. Up 2-0 nothing. Gretzky level assist from the Gopher player who fed Bilka the puck.
