With all due respect SS, I saw Vince Young play, TP is no VY at least not yet. He throws the ball like my little sis, Mary, in 4th grade at Our Lady of Lourdes school. He can float across the field like the a ghost but his passing has as much success as a bernie madoff investment oops scam. More importantly, the Buckeyes continue to lose big games on national TV for one reason…their defense. It is too slow and they always match up against better athletes. Sweater vest Tressel needs to recruit from the gumbo kitchens in the South and avoid the fatty white dudes at Sonic Burgers in the North. As my daddy used to say…” you don’t win with x’s and o’s but with jimmys and joes.”

OMG an easy way to save face and keep up with the Monday water-cooler talk when I’ve missed some obvious National Highlight… THANKS!

danimal, great take on the game. i agree that venue is as american as jd at hooters at 2 in the morning or plax with heat at the bad da bing. jo pa makes old age relevant…95% of success is showing up. about those lbackers, rumor has it that they haven’t seen the inside of a library (strike that) a classroom since parochial school. gotta go literally….

Glad to have you back!!!! I will be rooting for USC for one big reason. I share your thoughts about the USC football system, however, I am a PAC 10 person. The writers and know-it-alls have been dismissive of the PAC 10 all season. I am thrilled that in the bowl games the PAC 10 teams have won the four that they have played. Some of them upsets. I look forward to a clean sweep with a USC victory! Keep writing!!!

Danimal! Glad you are back! Your blog is the first English words I read in 2009. Great way to wake up and begin the New Year with your razor sharp journalism. Not to mention your humor!
Our T.V. is on right now with thewarm up to the Rose Bowl Parade. Then we will be wathcing the Rose Bowl football game and I’ll be watching the coaches in a new way! Forget the game. The coaches sound more interesting!
thanks for staring our year with a bang and a smile! xox, Zia Patrizia

You should start a new category “The Grossly Overpaid”, #1 on the list is Giambi. At $23.4MIL, he is known more for his steroid confessions and his bushy stache than his baseball skills (sic). Also, RA looked like a pitcher in the batters box tonight against Lidge…he needs to lay off the breaking balls.

Singleton sounds and looks smart. Kruk sounds and looks stupid. But stupid sells. See Vina. Go figure.
