People here might think I'm crazy, but I'm more exited this season than I was at this time last year. Last year we all expected big things from the Buckeyes, but so did the rest of the nation. Last year was definitely very very exciting: amazing offense coming back, rematch with Texas, scUM at home, etc. After the great win over ND, the whole country knew alot about the Buckeyes, hence the preseason #1. THIS season, however, it's like we (those of us who spend alot of time thinking about Buckeye football) know a big secret that no one else knows. It's like when you've gotten a gift for your parents at Christmas time when you're a little kid. Starting in 20 or so days, the rest of the country gets to start opening their Christmas gift. This year's team is hungry and EXTREMELY talented, but no one knows just how talented yet.
I really can't wait to see the Bucks get out there and really show the nation how they reload every year, even after losing the Heisman Trophy winner, a pro RB and three pro WRs. This defense is going to be absolutely scary. This offense has so many truly talented skill players just dying to get on the field. Our HUGE line is coming back, and our special teams are intact. And Beanie.
It's not quite Christmas Eve, but I'm already getting the happy holday jitters. Go Bucks!
