Ohio is better than I thought…NOT!
Monday, April 16th, 2007We had finished our dinner, but our bottle of $35 Italian wine was still half full. So we asked the waiter at Manhattan’s Parma restaurant if we could take it to go. The waiter didn’t blink. He took the bottle, and a few minutes later, placed it back on our table — recorked, with tinfoil over the top, and wrapped up in a plastic “I Love New York” bag.
The Wolverines and the Buckeyes will square off this afternoon in an emotionally charged game following the death of former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. Easily the most-hyped game of the season, the game pits two of college football’s fiercest rivals in an interconference showdown to determine not only the Big Ten Champion most likely, but also who will play in the National Championship in Glendale.
Wow. Yep, it’s official–Ohio State is better than I thought. Watching last night’s North Carolina-Ohio State game gave me an eerily similar feeling to watching the Michigan State-Gonzaga game that occurred around the start of last season. It seemed like every time down the floor someone was draining a big three-pointer, putting on a tough post move, or making a key block. It was two great teams giving one another everything that they had. You’re not going to get too many nights of more entertaining basketball this year. And let’s remember, as we’ve been reminded ad nauseam, the best player for either team wasn’t even on the floor last night.
