I thought I know Columbus, but I've gotta admit that any newspaper guy who works in a "bureau" must really know his stuff. Hey, George, now that you're making treks down to the Capitol for legislative duties, perhaps you and Tom Reed can hook up in the Brewery District on those Friday nights. Maybe kick back a few beers and talk old times. "Thomas, I drove to Toronto for that lazy slob Windhorst, and then those cheap BJ bastards wouldn't even reimburse me for the Milk Duds I bought at the Flying J!"

Most surprising to me about Michigan were the weird press conference clips on television. Carr sounds like he's lost it and Mike Hart talks like he's taking over.

I cancelled a hotel reservation for Friday to do it. If nothing else I owe my children some consideration. However, we'll give it more thought the next time. Alan:

It was before Oregon quacked them. I'm tending to agree with you right now. I think I am more shocked by that pounding than I was Appy State. Alan:

No way in hell he will be "leaving on his own terms." That National Championship has become irrelevant. After the Endust Dust Bowl, or whatever the hell bowl game they end up playing in, he's gone.

Pet peeve, nicknames imposed upon sports fans. If I wanted lots of Beanie, I'd watch a Browns game while eating cabbage. Well, actually maybe those pills are called Beano, not Beanie. Well, whatever it's called, it's besides the point. Can't stand sports nicknames anymore. Chris Berman has ruined it for me, ruined it for everybody. George, I'd let you sleep in my basement on those nights before Buckeyes games, but that would mean I'd have to move my parrots into another room. Sorry, bub, ain't gonna happen. Nina and Julio move for nobody. Accordingly, I suggest that you get the Beacon Journal to pay the tab for the Courtyard at 35 W. Spring Street. Granted, it will be a titantic struggle to also shakedown the BJ bean counters for reimbursement of your $15 on-site parking fee, but it's still your best bet. They've got the free whirlpool and buffet breakfast, and then you can get to the stadium relatively quickly by bolting west on Spring and heading north on Neil and avoiding the freeways. The traffic is still there, but you can avoid the majority of it. That's my travel agent tip of the day. All I know is the guy's name is Chris Wells. Pet peeve, nicknames imposed upon sports fans.

I don't view him as a premiere OSU running back. I think Tressel got "Akron happy" in recruiting with Pittman and Wells, and overlooked the best of the lot: Tony Sutton (now at Northwestern). Pittman was also wildly overrated, and thought he was NFL-ready after 3 yrs. Guess that didn't work out so well, huh? Cut before Game 1. Anyone else share these realistic thoughts on Wells & Pittman?
