Kevin Myers

A Buckeye Confession:
I love the Buckeyes and I will support them for a lifetime and beyond as I am sure they play in football in heaven!
I also love that Jim Tressel has restored The Ohio State University to its rightful position among the most elite programs in College Football that we have not enjoyed since Woody Hayes roamed the sidelines.
That’s not the confession, those are the facts.
The confession sounds more like step 1 in a 12-step program… “My name is Kevin and I have an addiction!” My Buckeye addiction is one that often causes me to react irrationally for anything short of perfection. I know anyone reading this may chuckle, because you might not know me, but you know a Buckeye fan like me. You may make fun of me/us at our expense, but I know those same people would give anything to be in a position where your team is part of a national conversation, albeit for better or worse.
We are a passionate, loyal, loud and yes, sometime a cantankerous group of fans and alumni. Every bit of our enthusiasm comes from one simple fact; we LOVE The Ohio State University Buckeyes. Since 2002 I have attended three National Championship Games with the Buckeyes and three other BCS games. Going 3 for 6 is pretty good in any book when playing on that grand of a stage.
Recently we have had trouble “winning the big one” and as such I have joined others that practice our annual rite of passage and second career of coaching the Buckeyes. For the first time I can remember, many are taking out their anxiety of getting bashed themselves by rival fans or football pundits by taking Jim Tressel’s offensive game plan and play calling to task. I too have participated in this debate, but not at the peril of supporting a great man and a world-class football coach. I support our head coach and would have no other but Jim Tressel at the helm of this great team.
So whether other Buckeye fans support this “confession” or post is of little consequence to me, like everything good put on a blog or tweet, it is an honest and transparent admission of the state of mind of this rabid Buckeye fan. And just as I may debate and disagree with Republican tactics I still hold true to my conservative values, I do disagree with our offensive game plan & tactics, especially in recent big games. BUT I still support my team, The Ohio State Buckeyes, and our leader and coach, Jim Tressel.
