Tuesday's notes

One more day down only four days to go. It's almost Saturday, what will you be doing when the world stops for about three hours to watch The Game? Ohio State vs Michigan, the Shoe, the dotting of the i, Hang on Sloopy and 110,000 screaming fans rocking the stadium. This will be a great Saturday full of excitement and the hopes of cheering for the national championship in January hang on the balance. Stupid fans like me who think if they scream enough and concentrate enough, they can will their team to victory are priceless.

On a side note, I saw an appropriately dressed newborn the other day. The little guy was sporting a very fashionable Ohio State onesy. I so have to get that.

He writes again but only to warn the others

Amazing, I still know my username and password. Unbelievable.

By now you should know the date, the time, where and who. November 18, 3:30 p.m. Columbus, Ohio - #1 The Ohio State Buckeyes and the #2 Michigan Wolverines. If you don't know then you either don't follow sports or you've been hiding under a rock. This will probably be the longest week of my life. Couldn't Veterans Day be this Friday? Or how about moving Thanksgiving to this Thursday? I'm not sure if I'll be able to concentrate at work.

My warning is for those who will see me on Saturday. I will either be drowning my self in sorrow in an attempt to stave off a deep depression or I'll be the most gleeful SOB this side of Columbus. The difference between now and say ten years ago, I don't fear Big Blue dashing the Scarlet and Gray's national title march. I have complete confidence in the Buckeyes and The Shoe will be rocking on Saturday.

Then comes Sunday as my Beloved Brownies go for two in a row against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. It's time to put those Steelers in their rightful place that is last place in the AFC North. "Here we go Brownies, here we go! Woof, woof! Here we go Brownies, here we go! Woof, woof! Shooooters!!!" I plan to here that all afternoon long on Sunday. For the outsiders, that is code for Touchdown Browns! Now give us our shooters!
