I’m kind of here: I didnt start rooting for OSU because they were reeling off NC’s and B1G championships.

It’s the team that represents where I am from and my family. That’s it and to me, that is no small thing. Being a Buckeye is a birthright.

You find out why you do things when there is “nothing” at stake but your pride and self respect (which is the only real “anything” )

Some of my favorite memories of the emotions of a Buckeye game come from years like 1985, 1987, 2004 and 2018. There was no trophy to be had, just your self respect. You going out like a man or are you going the other way?

Obviously it doesn’t matter what we say or do as fans but I think you need a few of these every now and again. Gets it back to the beginning.

I’m all in with my Buckeyes come hell or high water. I’ve tried to walk away from this secular religion more times than one. Now I ask myself what’s wrong with being crazy into something? Who cares how I spend my time and fuck them if they do care.

The normal goals for a season are lost, forget it and move on. Pressure is off. Just go play and get ready for The Game.

I often tell my wife “There isn’t much that I’m extremely passionate and over-the-top about in this life outside of this thing and family.”

She knows this to be factual. I’ve toned it down a lot over the years, but it’s still there and sometimes my ugly side can still rear over it.

It is what it is. Now they need to pick their sacks up off the turf and keep moving because The Game still looms.

I took a look at the Big Ten standings earlier today, and Indiana and Oregon both could very well lose a game, which would put us right back in control of our own destiny. It would be no accident to find ourselves getting ready for some turkey dinner and a big game against those scumbags in a few weeks, especially considering the fact that they're doing away with conference championships next year.

I have a feeling that fate is going to put the ball back in our court, and when it does, it'll be time to get to work. With that being said, somebody in the Woody needs to wake up and light a fire under somebody's ass, or Ryan Day needs to pick up the phone and get someone like J.T. Barrett or Jack Sawyer back in town ASAP to get these guys fired up, back together, and on the same page.

I assume USC would also have to lose? We're fucked bro.

The playoff math doesn’t matter. We couldn’t win more than one, if that, if we get in. Great, get in, lose and go home. WTF good is that? Absolutely maddening. Making the playoff as a metric is a participation trophy and this year we don’t even deserve that.
