Big Ten Power Rankings - i almost dont want to do the rankings this week. no, not almost. i definitely dont want to do them this week. with penn state not covering against syracuse at home, the buckeyes losing a game they should have won by twenty, sparty laying an egg against a MAC team at home, wisky barely eeking by fresno state, and michigan actually looking like a real football team again, well, its just not a good weekend to be me.

again i will choose not to go in-depth, as writing takes time away from all of the curling-up-in-a-corner-and-dying ive been doing since saturday night.
i will say this - did saturday surprise any buckeye fans? well, it shouldnt have. this is the incarnation of ohio state football that we are currently living with. a team that snatches defeat from the hands of victory. a team that finds new and inventive ways to build up your hopes only to crush them time and time again.
our once-in-a-lifetime quarterback looked below average. our just-do-barely-enough-to-win coach looked pedestrian. we were outplayed, outcoached, outclassed, and our gameplan looked like it came directly from the outhouse.
what else is new.
the common theme of what little conversation i heard while walking away from the shoe on saturday night was "well at least we didnt get blown-out."
fantastic. this is the fanbase we have become. these are now our grandest of expectations. to not lose by too much.
go buckeyes.

Depressed much?
ReplyDeleteThe Bucks lost the game,so what. I thought the effort was outstanding by almost every player on the OSU squad. USC couldnt get out of there fast enough, and thats probably the closest game they will play aside from any loss they might suffer. The OSU home crowd really showed what "support" should be.You didnt win , but I was proud of what the bucks managed, they just came up short.
ReplyDeleteOne other thing, as far as the "at least we didnt get blown out " crowd, screw 'em. Put all those crybaby cribsies on a bus and send em up here to Spartan land. We are fresh out of bodies to hang outside the stadium to scare our opponents with. If thats all they got is " at least we didnt get blown out", you dont need them anyway.
