The energy from the cap powered them through to a good finish. He will be wearing the same cap next week at Henley; that’s some serious sporting of Buckeye-wear.

Now that is a frippin room to watch a game

If you don’t mind, I’d like to chime in on Haters: When encountering a hater, just know your sh*t better than they know theirs (which probably isn’t a problem for Buckeye fans). Case in point, I’m at a general sporting event wearing an Ohio State hat. An Auburn fan starts talking cr@p. In my brain, I have stored the fact that Auburn lost to South Florida AT HOME just 2 years ago! End of debate…the guy looked as if I pantsed him.

LSU – easy one, just tell them their 2007 national title is the most worthless of any year because they had 2 losses, and, since they won’t know how to respond to humility, say that Ohio State only got into the national title because they’re the only team that year that DIDN’T lose to a bad team…not exactly like beating the 2002 Miami Hurricanes or anything.

Florida – there is no witty or acceptable retort related to sports unfortunately, other than “F-you!” Maybe bring up the 25 arrests since Meyer took over, including the AK-47 incident outside a nightclub.

General SEC-trash…any one SEC team, other than the ones who have beaten us recently, honestly can’t stand on its own two feet. Dissect any one of them individually, and it gets comical. 10 of those teams can’t touch Ohio State with a 10-foot cattle prod. General insults to their heritage, education, national rank of their school, their true relation to their parents, might seem like a less-than-classy move, but since they automatically start out on that level, I think it’s a fair track to take.

With regards to Buckeye regalia, I’ll be honest – not exactly wearing it every day anymore. I did, however, wear a Buckeye hat today, and my bus driver said “Go Bucks!” I don’t envy those of you in SEC country…of all the regions in the country, that’s the one you will have the toughest road when it comes to wearing your stuff out. I was recently in N.O. for a conference and left everything at home. It’s not worth it. When flying through Detroit – full-on Troy Smith jersey all the way!

“Bup^3″

“Bupx3″

“Bup-cubed”

“Bup B. Bup III”

buahahahahh

excellent roundtable, look forward to the next one

On the regalia thing, I maybe should’ve explained that “meet out front – I’ll be wearing #45″ joke a little better: It was more about 1) Even though it’s probably obvious to all of us and other halfway commonsensical people that you pick a SPECIFIC spot, like a particular gate, at which to meet up, you’d be amazed at the number of people every home weekend who clearly said “Uhhhh, let’s meet by that big triangle thingy” and are just wandering around looking for a needle in a stack of needles; and 2) The insane # of fans who bought #45 jerseys when Katzenmoyer decided to be the 1st since Archie to wear it (a decision by Andy and the team that I’m still not fully on board with). You put those two phenomena together and that’s where our little in-joke came from.
