A few years ago, a friend of mine found some 30 year old paraphernalia from Circleville Bible College. One of the items he found was a sign with the college’s old sports slogan. The slogan read: “We’re #2!” The implication was that “We’re #2 because God is #1.” I think it was the cheesiest slogan I have ever heard….but now I’m not so sure.Perhaps all Ohio sports teams should adopt “We’re #2” as their official motto, not because God’s #1 and Ohio is #2, but because Ohio teams are finishing second in everything in this year. We’re putting together the greatest string of silver metals in the history of sports. The Buckeye’s football team was shellacked by Florida in the National Championship game in January. A few months later their basketball team was beaten handily by Florida in the basketball National Championship. Then, just last week, the Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the Spurs in the NBA finals. If the Cleveland Indians can somehow manage to lose the World Series this fall, 2007 should mark Ohio as the greatest runner-up in the history of sports, and I think that’s something to cheer about. So, here’s to you Ohio, you may not be the best, but your pretty darn close.

LMBO! Dude, this post made me literally laugh out loud. WE'RE NUMBER 2!!! YIPPEE!!!
I guess that is a positive way to look at it. Have you read about the new Big Ten Network? From what I understand, the first two Ohio State games will only be shown on this network. My current cable provider (Time Warner) is still in negotiations with the Big Ten Network, which is scheduled to launch in late August. So, I will have to subscribe to this channel, if my provider even carries it, or not be able to watch the first two games on TV. It's bad enough when I have to watch the game on any cable station, but to add another one is crazy! I'm afraid I could possibly get addicted to that channel, but I am not pleased with the fact that I can't watch the games on one of our local channels. ~ Tina
Tina,
No, I hadn't heard about the Big Ten Network, but it doesn't surprise me. I'm currently stuck in SEC country and only get about half of the Buckeye's games anyway. College football probably shouldn't be reason to move, but it sure is tempting!
