We know you’re still stewing and simmering from the loss to Michigan, the second straight year the Ohio State football team has been soundly beaten by “That Team Up North.” But, never fear Buckeye fans, things aren’t as bad as they seem, and time heals all when it comes to love, war, and big-time college football.
But while you are licking your wounds, we are here to remind you that the other revenue sport, basketball, is in full swing now with the Ohio State basketball team coming off of a pretty solid showing in Maui and working its way into the top 25. There’s a showdown with Duke looming this week, so that should be enough to turn the page and watch some Buckeye hoops.
