If you’re new to my Tuesday posts, you don’t know that I’m a Detroit sports + Michigan fan.
It’s not my fault. I grew up a Navy brat in Virginia Beach, VA around no pro or big-time college teams. My dad seized the opportunity to indoctrinate me before I could resist, and here we are.
So as you can imagine, the Ohio State love fest this evening/early morning has been nails on a chalkboard. I can actually HEAR my Twitter. This sucks.
So what am I to do?
Time to write a Hater’s Guide to the NCAA Championship game!
Ohio State football is a team of murderers –
Maybe they don’t hate all women. But that’s all I see.
Ohio State University: school full of thugs –
That’s what we’re calling people who riot and set fires, right?
What do you do if you’re JT Barrett? –
Barrett earned the starting quarterback job at Ohio State after the incumbent, Braxton Miller, injured his shoulder just before the season.
Barrett played well all season, and had the Buckeyes in position to compete for the title…until suffering a season-ending injury just before the Big Ten championship game.
His replacement, Cardale Jones, came in a played like he should have been the starter from the beginning.
Barrett will be a redshirt Sophomore next season.
Jones, the QB who just won a national championship, will be a redshirt Junior.
Who would you start if you were Head Coach Urban Meyer?
And what would you do if you were the other guy?
Looks like a quarterback controversy in Columbus. This makes me happy.
This is the last great moment of Ohio State football –
Getcha khakis ready.

Yup. I’m hatin’. Whatever.
Congrats to the Buckeyes or something. Definitely the better team Monday night.



JT Barrett just told me: “I’m not leaving. I don’t think Braxton is leaving. I don’t think Cardale is leaving.”

But yes, Michigan fans, talk to me all you want about Jim Harbaugh so I can tell you about the time our coach won a championship with a two-deep full of freshman and sophomores.
