An apology
Dear Readers,
I must apologize for the lackadaisical posting style I've adopted lately. This post, while it has a date of January 8 was actually written January 9.
Why?
My beloved Buckeyes lost to the heathen horde that is LSU and I have been shattered and in tears ever since. I don't know how I manage to go on.
Wait.
That's not me.
I realize I don't actually suit up and take the field when Ohio State plays football. I realize I didn't go to OSU. I have a life... and a life to the point that I didn't even know OSU was playing LSU until I was at Monster Jam and the announcer announced that the reason the van was painted yellow and purple was due to the fact those were LSU's colors.
I believe LSU is likely Louisiana State University but wouldn't bet the farm on it.
I know OSU is Ohio State University but sort of get lost as to why they insist on calling themselves The Ohio State Univerisy and yet you never see TOSU shirts.
Other signs I lack the watching-sports gene:
Not long ago my mother told me that dad had asked her if she thought Chris Wells might be related to us. When mom mentioned this my first thought was, "I should probably try to figure out who this guy is." I assumed he was a basketball player. (He is unlikely to be related.)
A year or so ago I bought Samson an OSU jersey with #10 on it. He was wearing it around the house and I asked if it made him feel like Ted Ginn. He said, "Do you mean Troy Smith," and then went on to explain that Troy was number 10. (I just Googled Troy; it would seem he was the quarterback.)
Marie Millard, (a Michiganer) left a comment saying she hoped Michigan would beat OSU in their game "for so-and-so and so-and-so." I thought the so-and-sos might be nephews of hers who went to Michigan and it wasn't cleared up for me until I was telling my buddy Roy about it and he filled in actual names for the so-and-sos and explained they were seniors. He also told me what "the big house" was (if that's what Marie called it) [I did some checking. It was Mike and Chad and The Big House.]

lol ... I took the time to type all the junkNstuff in just so I could comment because, it still doesn't remember me.
I see how you roll ... you just read my comments and shush them over in the fluff pile, as if they have no merit.
And that typo you made up there ^^^ "Michigan would be OSU " ... changed the whole meaning of the thought. I'd NEVER want UofM to BE OSU ... it's BEAT not BE :::smiles sweetly :::
Other than that ... remember, there's no house like the BIG HOUSE ::: electric grin :::

Greeneyezz: I'm guessing he's an Orangman of some sort though my first inclination is to go with Aboil or Armstrong.
Nancy: I don't just push your comments aside; I hang on every word. (AND ... I correct typos you point out.)

lol
Orangeman?? That would be Carmello Anthony (not Lance).
(And he's now with the Denver Nuggets.)
I was thinking you may have had a bit of interest in the bicycle riding, not basketball or football.

My first thought was Armstrong, but I didn't think that's were you were going.
