Before I say anything I want to make it clear that I am still a Red Raider through and through just as much as I am still a Buckeye through and through. I am however, embarassed about the 65-21 THUMPING the Red Raiders took last night. Sitting at a friends house watching the game I could not help but remember exactly how this feels.
While I was spending the majority of the last 3 weeks talking about how cool it would be at the second school to win a national title and a heisman trophy I forgot that with a loss I would still be in good company. Ohio State has made it to the last two national championships and imploded in my presence. While it made for fun vacation weekends it always sucked going home. This year I was asked repeatedly to come with friends to watch the game in Norman, Oklahoma. I declined because I had too much going on but maybe my subconscious was trying to protect me.
So instead here I am in company of myself and my fellow Red Raider fans watching a good team implode when it really mattered remembering New Orleans and Glendale. I guess it’s not that bad. At least I am in good company. At least there are still bowl games. Go Buckeyes and Go Red Raiders!
