Congratulations, GOBUCKS, for a fine Ohio State team steeped in history and tradition and decades upon decades of hard luck and hard work, who overwhelmed its flash-in-the-pan newbie opponent with no history, Oregon!
Face it, Oregon's been popular the last few years only because television has decreed it so. Television's notorious for promoting the "new," the "novel," because "old" and "tried-and-true" is, you know, b-o-o-o-o-o-r-i-n-g.
When Oregon's got a history as long and remarkable as those of the plodding dull stale old Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Southern California, UCLA, Alabama, and Auburn, then Oregon'll deserve some respect.
With all due respect to the non-Ohio State fans, and even the anti-Ohio State fans, face it; Oregon is "great" only because television says it is.
And then we have the ridiculous spectacle of Judy grasswire, born and raised and spending most of her adult life on the other side of the country from Oregon, suddenly becoming an enthusiastic fan of that team after her descendants moved her out there so as to keep better tabs on her in failing old age and mental decreptitude.
grasswire Judy's an exemplar of what ails this country today (especially as shown during the past two presidential elections); too many people attracted to the "new," the "shiny."
In case one needs reminded, brass is shiny.....and gold is dull.
