Why do I watch sports? Sports is one of the only areas in my life where I allow myself to be emotionally unguarded. I’m normally a fairly reasonable person, but when I watch the Buckeyes, I admittedly turn into a biased, emotional nutcase. I know that ultimately, sports really don’t matter, and I think that’s why its fun for me. With that said….the Buckeyes are killin’ me this year! First, we had probably the greatest regular season for football that we’d ever had. We went into the national title game against Florida as heavy favorites, and we got SMOKED. That may have been the worst game I have ever watched.
Now, in the midst of basketball season, we are the #1 team in the country. We should have lost to last week to Xavier in the second round of the NCAA tournament, but Ron Lewis hit a miracle shot at the buzzer to put us into overtime. The Buckeyes pulled out the victory, and I nearly had a heart attack. In tonight’s game against Tennessee, we were down by 20 points with one second left in the first half. I thought the game was over, but we came all the way back to take the lead late in the game. The game was tense and went down to the wire. The Buckeyes were up by 1 point with 6.5 seconds left. Tennessee had the ball and drove down the court. They shot the ball at the buzzer……and Greg Oden blocked the shot!!! I can’t take much more of this…

Yea, I didn't give up on them completely, but I wasn't going to stay up any later if they were going to loose. I went to bed at halftime. Oh well. It was exciting to see the score in the morning. I had to check it on different channels just to make sure it was real.
Well shoot...I had to get a blog just to send you this message. Now i have to figure out how to put up pictures and all that jazz.
