GLENDALE, ARIZ. - The search for positives nearly came up empty after the worst loss in coach Jim Tressel's six seasons and the third-worst bowl defeat in Ohio State history.
No. 2 Florida's 41-14 rout of the previously unbeaten Buckeyes in the BCS National Championship Game Monday night could not have been more stunning.

Postcard from Arizona

TODD PORTER

Can't wait to get home. The last day in Paradise Valley (that's where the media hotel is) was 77 degrees and sunny. Ohio State fans invaded the souvenir shops around town. All the Buckeye merchandise was 50 percent off. All the Florida gear was jacked up. I didn't get souvenirs for everybody, but the chocolate fairy visited every night. Some of you will be getting tasty Camelback Inn chocolates. They weren't half-price. They were free. It's the thought that counts.
