Hurrah<\/a>! \u00a0 A perfect season<\/a>, the first since 2002. \u00a0I know, we can\u2019t go to the \u00a0bowl games since several years ago some of our freshmen sold official\u00a0paraphernalia\u00a0for some tattoos. \u00a0Such is the result of youthful stupidity. Yet against all odds, we came back. \u00a0Urban Meyer must be a wizard of a coach, to keep a team with literally nothing to gain on track, beating every team no matter what the odds. \u00a0It was ugly, and sometimes the warts showed. \u00a0We\u2019ll certainly have to work to improve upon things next year. \u00a0But for now we can rejoice. It will be a bit of a vacancy not to have an OSU game to follow over the New Years holiday. \u00a0But we can all celebrate a\u00a0wonderful\u00a0season by a new coaching dynasty, and some hardy young players who have shown their mettle against\u00a0overwhelming\u00a0obstacles. \u00a0Well done Buckeyes! \u00a0We\u2019ll see you next year.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
