January 9 - The Morning After

Final score: Florida 41-14. Congrats to the Gators.

So it didn’t turn out as I had hoped. I’m reminded of the 1972 Academy Award winning song, “The Morning After.” It was the love theme from the Poseidon Adventure and was sung by Maureen McGovern.

The lyrics seem to resonate during ensuing story developments in which the survivors of the capsized SS Poseidon brave all odds to live another day. And so life goes on as a Buckeye fan.

Ironically, the song on the B side of the release was “Midnight Storm”, which sort of summed up the Florida offense and defense.

Maureen McGoven also sang the love theme to 1974’s The Towering Inferno. Talk about one disaster after another.

As for OSU Football, all in all in was a great year. There about 120 other schools that would have loved to have gone 12-1 and finished #2 in the polls. BTW – we still beat michigan.

Only 230 days until the start of the 2007 kickoff.

Thanks to all the concerned people that called or emailed me on Tuesday morning. I especially enjoyed hearing from people I had lost contact with over 10 years ago. I don’t remember getting this many messages when OSU won the National Championship in 2003.

Special thanks to Chuck for sending me the below picture of the OSU band at halftime of Monday’s game.
