"Listen, once the game
is over, let's go back to Porter Hall
and get to work on that
Bio homework."
The RedHawks ruined Ohio State's season opener in Columbus 41-7. New Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said, "I've never seen such fierce and heady competitors as those fellas from Oxford. My hat's off to them."
I was briefly confused, too, since I have a few relatives with whom I'm in facebook-touch who are fanatical buckeye fans (despite not being college graduates themselves -- yes, I find this a bit confusing, but, on consideration, I think it simply illustrates that football teams really have little connection to their universities for many people, perhaps especially in towns that don't have pro franchises).
I'll have to remember not to get my sports news from CM (which means I'll go back to getting no sports news that doesn't make NPR or the front page of the local newspaper, which is fine with me).
I am going out on a limb here. If I understand this place like I like to think I do, and if the glorious RedHawks did indeed win Saturday, I see nothing stopping them from going undefeated all year. And, you know what, I'm all for that.
Like a dumbshit, I told dear hubby this score and he laughed and turned to ESPN for me. Still, I love both quotes!
ReplyDeleteOTOH, Ohio U. really did beat Penn State 24-14. Go Bobcats!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCollege really started this weekend for me. All the stuff about students and grades are just my job.
