How firm thy friendship…OHIO!
I pull no punches when it comes to my love for my Alma Mater, THEE The Ohio State University. Proudly Mrs. Munch plus two of our four children are grads and indeed I proudly wear the mantle of being a “Buckeye honk, homer and shill” and sadly at times (as my Father-In-Law called me and so many others) a “Buckeye Redneck.” I can stand tall and say most of the time that is not me but on occasion that title may rear its ugly head in my persona. Now that the heck is a true “Buckeye Redneck”? The best description is those who would rather have Ohio State Football go 1-11 as long as they beat ttun. I will not call them “fans” as simply put, they are idiots and should not be rooting for “my” team. I have seen posts asking these missing minks if “Ohio State wins the national championship is it tainted since they lost to ttun.” PARDON FREAKING ME. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL / TEAM TO CHEER FOR as this is beyond the comprehension of anyone who walks upright. They also rear their heads spewing venom over the Baker Mayfield flag planting when the simple solution would have been to win the game. The term also shows up in state government where representatives desire to make it a felony for the opposition to plant a flag in Ohio Stadium, the bastion of civilization. My gosh, it should be illegal for people in Ohio to be hungry or homeless, but let’s focus on planting a flag when again all OSU needs to do to stop that is win the game, or duke it out when some players attempt that dastardly deed! Yup, if it is ttun then you must throw down (Buckeye Redneck in full force).
Full disclosure here as I for one, embarrassingly and sadly, called for a coaching change when OSU lost to the maize and blue this year. It hurt more knowing the Buckeyes were the superior team. I will say it…the u of m players had more heart in that game. OUCH! At the least I demanded that Chip being giving his walking papers. Was I wrong? YES! I know, the Scarlet and Gray in me knew WW Hayes was let go after losing 3 in a row to Bo and his minions (YES, it was not the “Bauman punch,” that was only an excuse and that came to me from Earle!), and I truly figured after Coop’s inexcusable record vs ttun (and YES John is a dear friend) that a message needed to be sent and I will continue on agreeing with Nick Saban that I personally need some help in overcoming this unhealthy distaste for the school up North. Yes, I can continue to abhor them and shudder anytime I see someone dressed in their colors (I am certain they park in handicapped spots) or a license plate from the state up North, but I must not let it dictate reason or sanity!
Let’s talk about the National Championship game tonight! Am I nervous? No! Is it possible for Notre Dame Football to win the game? Heck yes. Here is my concern and let’s hope the Buckeyes learned their lesson. Ohio State Football was “supposed” to beat ttun by 3 TD’s and the trepidation that the pundits had was OSU knocking off Tennessee, Oregon, and Texas. We know what happened. Will Howard and Chip Kelly folded like Frankie Yankovic’s accordion vs the u of m and came up HUGE vs the latter three teams. Pretty simple for tonight – QB Will Howard must be “in the moment. “The Irish will be lurking on D to take the ball away, something they are great at doing. I also know that ND QB Leonard should NOT beat the Buckeyes. Spy on him if needed, put pressure on him, and make him throw. Take away his legs and this game is over early.
My final score. THEE The Ohio State University 31 Notre Dame Football 17.
