Is Ohio done for the season? No bowl game?
Chance that the Bobcats may play Miami next Saturday.
And for what purpose? This Saturday is the end of the fall semester. Send the guys home, save money on room and board expenses, and start planning for 2021 when everyone comes back next month.
I agree. Beat Syracuse.
Agree. No need to risk injuries.
Amo, amos, amot. You guys all remember your Latin do you not? To Love. The word amateur refers to someone who does something purely for the love of it. Our young men are amateurs. Several of you would have them avoid something that they love doing? Whether it is to play Miami or O$U they'd want to play on finals day or finals midnight or on a Saturday with three days of prep.
You dudes are getting old and don't recall the bold risk takers who do things for the thrill, the excitement and yes the love? You want to deny the OHIO defensive back who in a drubbing at the hands of the Buckeyes can recall twenty years from now how he had a pick six off a Heisman QB or an OHIO running back who broke a tackle and reached the end zone in the Shoe, even in a losing effort. Things dreams are made of and the fuddy-dutties would rather they stay safe, call it a day and wait for next year.
Gosh, what would a General Patton have said about your attitudes towards not playing?
Time for some of you to remember the lines from Man in the Arena: "the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
