Just saw the team...

For some reason the whole team was up in my backyard today practicing!
They were at the Kenyon College in Gambier- 15 miles from my house! I guess they had a full practice - had some pep talks inside the facilities there and then went home. I got to see all of 'em but there were no autographs or small talk allowed. To bad too cause there was only like 50 fans total there!

My friend got to hear some of a pep talk...he said 1 coach told the team that Phelps went out and did the hardest thing ever. He said he knew he would win 7 golds but 8 who could tell. He said the toughest thing Phelps did wasn?t winning all gold- it was doing what everyone expected him to do! Sounds like they are really gearing up for a great season as expected!

:oh:

Getting back to the Hooley thing I inadvertently started...I don't have a problem with Hooley, per se. He calls it like he sees it, and I respect that. IMO, however, he is jaded. He spent a lot of years writing for the Plain Dealer, and there are days I would swear he hates the Browns and Indians...but then other days he shows his support. He's the same with the Buckeyes...complimentary, but I feel he goes way out of bounds to try to show he isn't "blinded". It's like he makes so much of an effort to not be a homer that he ends up saying things that are simply outlandish.

...split off Herbie to his thread...

It would be different if, say, Maurice Clarett were still punking things up, if the Buckeyes were accessorizing orange prison jump suits with Big Ten championship rings. It would be much easier to dislike these guys if they were the least bit arrogant. Woody Hayes' neo-Fascism could suck the life out of any room. The closest Jim Tressel gets to vanity is his special closet time when he picks out that day's Garanimals.

Let's see, is it going to be the gray sweater vest and the red tie today, or the red sweater with the gray tie?

These Buckeyes know their act is getting stale. They've played in the past two BCS title games and lost by a combined 41 points. That the winners were SEC teams has casual observers howling that Ohio State should be playing in the Sun Belt, that the Big Ten is the Sun Belt.

Contd....
