Greetings From Behind Enemy Lines,
Today I've decided to write an open letter to the Buckeye faithful still recovering from the beat down laid upon us by Iowa. In Layman's Terms GET OVER IT and move on.
Seriously between Facebook and Twitter posts, some of this fan base has lost their minds.
To the Fire Urban Meyer Crowd, really? and to the he's Got to Bench J.T Barrett and Build for Next Season Because This One Is Lost Geniuses and my personal favorite from, former players things were so much better in the 90's and that's what this team has to get back too. Ha make me laugh.
These are reasons why you should never tweet or Facebook post during games when you are emotional or have had several libations.
Let's take on the Fire Urban Crowd first since these seem to be either the most drunk people on the planet or their little egos have been hurt so much because they can't go out and smack talk other fan bases. Memo: The man in six seasons is 68-8 with a national title in his third year here and it won't be the last. Do I need to remind you people who were alive during the 90's of the John Cooper Era, sure he had great recruits but was 2-10-1 against Ann Arbor and some of those players who post things on social media about this current team need to remember that. I would really like to know what goes through someone's head when they post Urban should be fired and they should hire Bo Pelini because he'll bring in good Ohio boys who will give effort. Remember the last time Pelini faced Urban and they hung 63 on him? To the genius who thinks we were sold a bill of goods on Urban that he's not that great of a coach to both of these individuals, I say for the sane portion of Buckeye Nation put down the Jack Daniels and turn in your Buckeye Cards immediately.
To bench the J.T crowd on radio and social media here is your reality check. The young man is the winningest QB in Ohio State history. Yes he a had a terrible outing against Iowa. But he wasn't the only one. The defense for some reason seemed to lose desire of playing the rest of the game when Bosa was tossed (what in the hell was he thinking by the way?). I actually saw a Facebook comment from one guy who thought J.T. pulled a Pete Rose and bet against his team. Dude, you really need to sleep that one off. Urban is going to ride this out to the end with J.T. For those wanting to see Haskins or Burrow, you are going to have to wait until the bowl practices and spring or God forbid an Injury to J.T.
Is this season a disappointment because we won't be in the payoffs? Sure it is. Is it the end of the season? No. Beat Sparty on Saturday and win out, then we get to spoil Wisconsin's perfect season.
Now some of the comments I've heard this week that this is the most disappointing loss in Ohio Stae History, wrong! Hell even that night in desert in 2007 or the Tressel debacle in 2008 against LSU were not the most disappointing losses. Remember 1998 Against Sparty and being No. 1? Remember being up 24-9 and then losing to Saban, 28-24? Even that's not the most disappointing loss. Here are 1A and 1B.
Let's start with 1B, compliments of our friends from Ann Arbor. In 1993, OSU rolled into Ann Arbor 10-0-1. Beat Ann Arbor and it's Rose Bowl time. They proceeded to get smacked, 28-0. Then there is 1A, also compliments of Ann Arbor. A not-great Buckeye team, 8-3 at the time led by Herbie. This is the game that left us, in my opinion, with the most embarrassing moment in Buckeye History, an image still burned in to my brain in a 31-3 loss.
Nothing in Buckeye Nation will ever make me get over this anger. Some of you people need to revisit history before making such moronic comments. I'm far from being Captain Rah Rah, but at least I have seen enough Buckeye games in my lifetime that last Saturday's event's won't send me over the edge and it shouldn't send you over either. So big deal, no College Football Playoff, you've been to two already and no one can ever take the First Undisputed Championship away from us. The B1G title is still out there for the taking and Sparty is about to face a very mad Ohio State team. We aren't entitled to a national championship every year, but we will always be a factor very year.
Just a little perspective from up north. Until Next Time OH-
