There is a certain peace in low expectations.
Too often this year I’ve been suckered into thinking the next game will be different, they’ll figure something out and surprise me with a great performance. Ah, but as the saying goes “fool me six times, shame on me”. So yesterday I set my expectations accordingly. I would kick back, enjoy the gorgeous weather, and try to watch the game from a cold distance.
After all, this was THE Ohio State we’re talking about. This was the nation’s second best team, and the standard bearer for the Big Ten for the last twenty-plus years.
