After a late night, I arise thinking that an era has come to an end. The time when kids came to play for and love a college team is over. Kids will choose a team that gives them the best shot at the pros, or playing time if that isn’t an option. Change a few assistant coaches and Ohio State will remain an elite team under Day, if he can keep the money rolling in. That said, this was his big chance and he and his coaches blew The Game and he may never see money again like he got this year.
I do not believe that this Ohio State team can win a national championship, too many injuries in key positions. That’s really sad because a lot of those kids think about Ohio State just the way we used to. They gave their hearts and souls.
When I think about it, I think it is way too early to be thinking about what needs to be done. The big question in my mind is, is it the era of college football , fan expectations, or the fact that I invest so much of myself and my identity into the outcome of a game a bunch of kids play 8,500 miles awayon the banks of the Olentangy?
