For anyone who has followed this blog, you know by know how big of an Ohio State fan I
am. For someone who grew up in the Columbus, OH, each Saturday represents a
hope for something new. This season especially has excited Columbus far beyond
normal levels.
Coming into the week, Ohio State was
ranked number two in the country after number one ranked Alabama miraculously
lost to Auburn. Given all that had happened last week, we were all set to go
Pasadena this January for the BCS national championship. All we had to was beat
Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game Saturday night.
Unfortunately, the game was a huge
disappointment. We got 17-0 early in the game, and the outcome looked bleak. Late
in the second quarter we came storming back and were able to tie the score at
the half. By the time the fourth quarter expired, we were trailing by 10 points
and were firmly out of the national championship.
After the game there was bedlam in the
Jenkins household, as both of my younger siblings went to bed crying, and my
mom locked herself in her room.
Sometimes I just wished I didn’t care
about sports.
