I have a feeling that the collective Buckeye nation will not make an appearance on any of the sports talk shows across the nation for the next few days. Unfortunately, coming in second is worse in the eyes of the average sports fan than not even making it (get ready for the Buffalo Buckeye comments). It is further compounded because the Buckeyes have lost twice now to the same Florida univeristy on the championship stage. Oh well, I think its great. Outside of the Yankees and Lakers, there is no other team I hate more than the Buckeyes. Anyway, this game would have been over with about 10 minutes left if the officials wouldn’t have given Greg Oden a free pass on the defensive end. Don’t get me wrong, Oden was the best player on this night, but come on. He could have fouled out half way through the second half, but that doesn’t make for good t.v. apparently.
