Buckeye Nation Has Short Memories

I know that this post is about forty-eight hours late, but here it is nonetheless.  I was sort of surprised while watching the Ohio State-Minnesota game on Saturday (and not because the Buckeyes scored 38 points).  ESPN continued to play up all the anger swelling at Jim Tressel and the Ohio State offense.  And, while I don’t want to pretend there aren’t a number of problems with the team’s offense, I was stunned to hear former OSU players carry on about how much higher Buckeye fans expectations are, and how they deserve so much more.  In my lifetime, Ohio State has won two national championships.  The first was when I was the ripe old age of two (under Woody Hayes, who Buckeye Nation also complained had let the game pass him by).  So, for all intensive purposes, the Bucks have won one championship in my life.  That championship came under Jim Tressel less than a decade ago (and before someone chirps it was with John Cooper’s players, Cooper didn’t win a ring with Cooper’s players).  Just how in the world has Tressel let down Buckeye Nation?  Who was winning all those rings before he arrived (uh..Woody Hayes, almost half a century ago)?  How many shots at a championship did OSU have prior to the emergence of “The Vest?”  Enough already.  Get a longer memory.
