I will say right now- I don’t know jack about football. But I know one thing- Ohio State’s football loss on New Year’s Eve was EPIC! And here’s why.

Even though my husband was born and bred in Ohio and should love Ohio State football, he does not. I’ve known him for over 25 years and he has always treated them like they kicked his puppy. He loathes them.

So to try and fit in with my son and husband, I pretend to watch the BIG GAME whenever it is on.

On New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay home. Wise decision with every version of flu, RSV, Covid, and Strep going around. Anyone who reads my articles knows I have been masking for 3 years and avoiding sick people like the plague.

So anyway, we settled in with our snacks and were obviously cheering for Georgia. As we watched the game, I noticed the arrogance in the faces of Ohio State fans. And I was like, huh? That is the same arrogance I have approached these past 25 years. They had already ASSumed they had the game in the bag. They had already ASSumed they had won. Well, they were in for a shock and surprise.

And when the clock literally struck midnight on New Year’s Eve (what impeccable timing), Georgia won by 1 point. And it was glorious.
