Having spent way too much time in Columbus OH surrounded by Bucknuts I can tell you a couple of things. 1. That’s actually pretty objective journalism based on the typical low standards of the Dispatch. 2. This is a very Buckeye reaction “own it but it wasn’t your fault.” 3. With the numerous references to all the players that are no longer there are they implying “maybe it was their fault so own what you feel you should own.” 4. I don’t remember the media coverage, the committee’s seeding or the point spread taking any injuries into account. Maybe I missed it. 5. Reading this drivel and their sniffling gave me great joy. Does that make me petty?
