2016 Countdown Thread

I was watching the game with my God son (now a retired Coast Guard commander) and we quickly split a bottle of Korbel Brut after this catch and the agonizing minute or so that followed until the gun went off. Then we pretty much celebrated with anything we could get our hands on.

Will always feel like the Bucks got screwed out of a national championship on this day.

Later found out that my good friend of Ft. Lewis and Vietnam days, Lieutenant Jim Farwell (RIP) was watching his son, the back up QB of Jake Plummer, on the ASU sidlines. Sorry Jim, but even had I known that I would have still been rooting for my Buckeyes.

I think the only game that I did more yelling, cheering, screaming, pacing etc. was the Sugar Bowl vs. Bama. That was one of those seasons during Coop's tenure where you look at the inexplicable loss to TTUN and think "What if".............

Seeing him catch that, then doing the slow motion strut celebration. Amazing. One of my favorite Buckeye moments as a kid.

Wish things had gone differently with this kid.

...but here I'm stuck in Dayton with the Columbus blues again...

Reunioning with what remains of the Fairmont High School Class of 1961 and remembering that the photo I wanted to post of Corney Green, #7 in your program and #1 in many Buckeye hearts, is sitting next to my scanner back in Cincinnati. Ah, but it's early. Maybe I'll poke around the interwebs and see what I can come up with.

Go Bucks!

Germaine-Boston-Miller is still my favorite 3-headed monster.

No disrespect to Buckeyes of old intended, but what the hell is Alfalfa from "Little Rascals" doing in this picture?

It is odd, isn't it? I've wondered about that one, too--he looks like he's about twelve. Maybe the mascot/water boy? Coaches kid? Would be interesting to find out.

The pick six was only the second best play he made that day. He ran down a Penn State back who was about to score on a play that covered about sixty yards.

I WAS in a foul mood after the Springboks soiled themselves in Argentina. Then, I watched the Ted Ginn highlights. I'm all better now. Let football season roll!
