Ohio State 72, TSUN 54 (Final)

When Matta was hired on in July '04, I was valeting cars at the Blackwell. His first few nights on the job were spent napping in one of their finest suites, I'm sure, and I actually spoke to him a few different times while being his go-fer. I also met his wife, who was in town shopping for a home, doing the same job.

Anyhow, the first night he stayed there, I was closing valet at 11:00, and I was moving the valet stand in (I will admit it may have been 10:56), and I remember seeing headlights at that red light. I was hoping that car did not pull in, and I was done for the evening. It pulled in, and I was kind of annoyed at first. So I go over to the driver's side, and the door opens, and it's Thad.

He had some stuff to unpack, and the only thing I can remember asking him was if he needed a 3 point shooter on his bench (I'm, um, short), but I do remember him saying that he knew he had to beat Michigan, and he would be alright.

Consider it job security. What, 9-1 now?

so are you saying it, or just bringing the point to our attention?


Saying what? Fuck Michigan? Yeah I guess I could be just looking for an excuse to say Fuck Michigan. Then again I never get tired of seeing the words Fuck Michigan so if my post were to get someone else to say Fuck Michigan that would be ok as well.

One thing I have not seen mentioned was how well PJ handled the situation. He first looked to the ref to see if anything was going to be called. He then let Novak know he wasn't going to back down, but he didn't go ballistic and attack him. He handled it much better than I would have at that age.

Then again, it helps to have a role model on the bench such as Matta. Instead of telling the refs how terrible they were for missing the call, he focused on telling them to check the video so it could be corrected.

It's a great day to be a Buckeye. Of course, ever day is a great day to be a Buckeye!
