"SOBERING"?? This feeble, naive mind didn't think that word was in Buckeyes' vocabulary (or Spartans').
The rivalry could be another 10-year war, which was a razor-close
5-4-1 for Bo and us, but even therein, they had a 3-0-1 stretech,
and we closed it with a 3-0-0. So there may be BRIEF periods of
to-the-naked-eye "dominance". But I doubt you'll see another
Cooper or Tressel period (2-10-1, 9-1)...I don't think Slick Urby's
so ignorant as to think he'll get away with Tresselian chicanery,
not with the scrutiny OSU will be under in the coming few years.
THEN AGAIN---if Urban, due to UMPTEEN reasons (health, under-
the-table crap, "just-ain't-a-good-'Hoke-like'-fit") falls on his face,
that program could end up so totally messed up it could have a
RichRod-ian impact on them...for EIGHT years, not three.
