I have great news. This summer my wife took my Fossil LCD OSU watch to get the battery replaced. I have newer watches so I haven't worn it in years after the battery died, but tOSU has NEVER lost a big game when this watch has been working. FUCK USC!!!

This also means that all the big loses over the past few years are my fault.

My bad

I had my own theories on why we were losing. I drank Beck's beer during both National Championship games, so I kept it domestic for USC. That didn't work. So instead of wearing my Laurinaitis jersey against Penn State I wore my Hawk jersey. That didnt work. Apparently it's not my fault.

I agree with 'alum. It's not his fault.

My own culpability: I drank black&tans during all Buckeye games before the debacle in the desert. I went to a bar that wasn't equipped for B&Ts :smash: and I haven't had one during a game since.

After work tonight, I'm going to buy Guinness & Bass. 'nuff said

Forget all this nonsense about swagger. Swagger is just an attitude..and at times an ugly one.

What I miss is how OSU looks in the light. When the shadows of doubt are cast elsewhere...and likely on our opponent. When we took the field in 2002 we didn't have swag...we didn't even LOOK like a fierce bunch of monster athletes...but there was a light emitting from that team as they took the field. There were no doubters in the stands..there was just....a glow.

It seemed like we should have lost damn near every game that year. And while the fans would stress... and freak out... strain our voices and bend our knees in prayer... the team just took care of business. They didn't let the shadows take hold... they didn't let the doubts seep in...they found a way to score more points than the team across the field.

"It's so close...you gotta to go. You can run for it if you want to"
"The problem is you don't have your running back who makes these types of first downs..he is standing BEHIND you"

So yeah..we were all shitting a brick...but JT goes for the win...and CK delivers to Jenkins.

Cincinnati did everything but win that game.

The Illini took us to OT.

And it was that sweet cocktail of fear blended with exuberance that kept all of us glowing. It wasn't swagger...we were not a cocky lot back then...we were a band of pirates hoping there was a little more magic left in the bottle. One more round of that triumph to get us through the NEXT game. We became the team people pulled for rather than resented.

We glowed.

I'd like that back.

Last week against Navy *felt* like 2002. OSU in a game against a lessor team that found the right combination of fortunate play calls and strange events to take us to the wire. And even in the midst of the media outrage and accusations...and the calls of over rated...the team looked calm....and ready to find the W in the mess of doubt. They didn't look like a team desperate for a rally... they didn't appear panicked to me.. they actually looked eerily calm.. I wondered if they were even aware of just what was going on. They were not a team coming undone because Navy had managed to punch back..they looked like a team that would find what was needed to win. It wasn't pretty..it wasn't easy..it was.....2002. But their calm in the face of adversity kept me rattled until the W was in hand.

THAT is ever so 2002.

So OSU has yet another call to opportunity. Yeah, those recent BIG losses suck..but recognize the immense achievement it is to lose those 'watershed' games and keep coming back for more. Lessor programs can't survive all those 'must win for pride and the sake of the program' losses and continue to get the call to another nationality defining game. They fade after a body blow or two. And now we need to punch back. It is time...we need one of these if we are to reasonably expect to extend this beautiful run deep into the next decade.

I don't want swag, I don't want cocky...I don't want what USC or Florida has..I want what we have...and I want the team and the fans to just believe again. Light them up and chase the shadows back to the other sideline.

I want to see these guys CONVINCED. I want to see them play loose even in the face of adversity. I want to see us go BIG even when we only need a little. I want to see us playing like it is just a game and all the extra baggage of expectations and the business of it is up in the stands with us rather than on the field in the minds of the players. Let the fans handle the HOPE and the FEAR..and let the team just WIN.

I am sick of all the shadows, doubts and questions on and around the team...I want to see them step back in the light. I want that glow that makes the OTHER guy pause in doubt.

I hope the players can block out all the other voices and just play the game...and play it to win rather than to not fail....play it fast and loose...and play it well.

And play like they *know* they are going to win.

Beat USC.

Beat Toledo.

Beat Illinois.

Beat Indiana.

Beat Wisconsin.

Beat Purdue.

Beat Minnesota.

Beat New Mexico State.

Beat Penn State.

Beat Iowa.

Beat TSUN.

Hell, beat them all by just 1 point to make the outsiders really go crazy for all I care...I don't care how we do it but
LET'S GO BUCKS, FUCK USC...BEAT EVERYBODY!
