Disappointing football weekend

Both my Browns and the Buckeyes let me down this week. First, you had OSU ruin their chance for another crack at the National Championship by getting upset by Illinois on Saturday. Then the Browns go up early on the hated Steelers today and then fail to close things out. As tough as each of those losses were, in some regard, I'm not overly surprised by either outcome. While the Bucks were #1, it was more a situation of them falling into that spot rather than earning it. And with the way top teams have been upset this year, it was almost bound to happen to them as well. As for the Browns, they just played an overall better team, as much as I hate to admit it.

Despite these loses, there is still some positive things to look forward to. OSU plays Michigan next week, which is always a HUGE game and the Big Ten title will be on the line in it. A win against the Wolverines and the Buckeyes will be playing in the Rose Bowl, which isn't too shabby. The Browns also have some things to remain positive about. First off, they played the Steelers much more competitively today than in Week 1 and it's always good to see marked improvement. Second, they have a pretty soft schedule for the rest of the season, which means they still have a very good shot at the playoffs, which would be a great accomplishment for this team.

So I guess the moral of the story is stay positive and hopefully someday something good will come to the state of Ohio.

You know OSU and I don't get along well, so we won't go there. One game that I really enjoyed was the Green Bay game. That whole team is on fire. The old man still has fire in that arm.
