oh well

Let's see. Ohio State wins arguably the biggest game in its football history, UC upsets unbeaten Rutgers and I write... about Chuck Bresnahan's kids. No offense to the Bengals defensive coordinator (or his kids), but yesterday was one of those days when a sports writer feels like a pitcher who just hung a curveball... when I made the arrangements in August, to head to New Orleans on Saturday, I had no idea OSU-Michigan would be The Game and, obviously, if anyone had told me UC would be playing unbeaten, 7th-ranked Rutgers and, um, win, I'd have had him drug-tested. Anyway, my bad. As Tony Kornheiser says on PTI, we'll try to do better next time.
