This blog was founded because yours truly was unable to sleep one night before an Ohio State game 2 years ago. During that 2006 season, I found myself anxiously awaiting a lot of games, and Friday night sleep was the victim.
Tonight, I suffer that same affliction. It’s 1:30am, and I’m unable to keep my head on the pillow. I’ve read a ton of stuff online, watched “Beerfest”, an episode of “The Office”, and found a DVD-quality copy of the Bruce Springsteen performance I attended on Sunday in Columbus. Maybe the problem is that I’m doing things I LIKE while trying to go to sleep.
It’s been a weird day anyway. Had a massive fight with the ex-girlfriend, then had an amazing night out with a new friend, Stephanie. This insomnia is just the ending of a rollercoaster Friday.
Anyway, I texted an old friend in South Carolina tonight. We both agree that we have a feeling that the Buckeyes are going to explode tomorrow afternoon. A 200 yard-plus performance for Beanie, or perhaps another 4 TD day for LBiC. An 10-sack feast from the defense. A kick return beyond the 23-yard line. Dare to dream?
This would be the day for it to happen.
Purdue fans are dreading the game. Their rush defense is the worst in the Big Ten (by a LONG way, giving up 40 yards per game MORE than the 10th-best team, Illinois). And their pass defense? Worst in the Big Ten.
I rip on Illinois for having no defense, and Purdue allows 65 yards more per game than the Illini.
In other words, this could be ugly, and it really should be.
OK, now I’m really jazzed about Saturday’s game. Crap, I should really be doing things that bore me to help get to sleep.
Maybe the Rays-Red Sox game is online. That should put me to sleep.
