Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson
If you have ever been to Ohio, or have ever met someone from Ohio, then you know how serious they are about their sports. Why is that the case? Probably because they’re still striving for such elusive goals. For instance, the Cleveland Cavaliers can’t win an NBA title. The Cleveland Indians are known to be the biggest choke artists in baseball. The Cleveland Browns are still remembered for an infamous fumble vs. the Broncos in 1988. And the Cincinnati Bengals can never get any further than the first round of the playoffs. Then there’s the Ohio State Buckeyes, my favorite team. I watch the Buckeyes every weekend on my cable tv deals in Georgia more consistently than a pastor giving his sermon. Being a fan of the Buckeyes is like riding on a roller coaster. Every time you’re at the top, they immediately shoot straight down. And every time you think they’re done for, they pleasantly surprise you. At least we have 2002 to remember. Many Buckeye fans will keep that year in their memories for a lifetime.
What I don’t understand is how the Buckeyes always end up producing some of the best NFL players. If that’s the case, why don’t the Buckeyes win more in college? Is it possible it’s the coaching system? I doubt it. I think it’s more because there is so much pressure for the Buckeyes to win the national title on an annual basis.
