Numero Uno

Nope, not that one

number1With kickoff of the 120th season of Buckeye football mere hours away, it’s time to celebrate being on top.

As St. Woody once said, “Without winners, there’d be no civilization.”

And he should know. At the end of the season, The Ohio State University left the field as the number one team in the land seven times, five of them under Coach Hayes’ watch.

The other two championships came under Coach Paul Brown (1942) and Coach Jim Tressel (2002), the last of which was the culmination of a 14-0 season.

Tomorrow, as we sit back to watch the scarlet and gray begin yet another quest, let’s enjoy the moment as much as the monument they are striving for.

Polls, BCS systems, Congress, television networks, and others may have opinions on who the number one team in the land is, but for the young men who strap on their helmets, it’s only important to be the best one play at a time.

The rest will work itself out.

Go Bucks!
