Last year was our 35th wedding anniversary and we had to cancel our anniversary trip. We rescheduled to this year and tomorrow we head to Portugal for 10 days. we rarely do a trip by ourselves - we generally go with friends and/or family - but given this is for our anniversary we decided to go it solo. Looking forward to getting away and visiting a place we've never been. Looking forward to Lisbon, Cassais, Nazare, Fatima, the Durro Valley and Porto. So I'm sure I'll be quite inactive on the board over the next couple weeks.
A couple comments about the Ohio State disaster over the weekend. As I said last week, I knew we were in trouble when Evil Vodka said the Buckeyes would destroy the Ducks. Having said that, I feel pretty good about the offense - it's disappointing they only scored 28 points but the opportunities were there - overthrown balls, dropped passes, uncalled pass interference and targeting penalties could have really added 2 or 3 TD's to the scoreboard. What's maddening is the defense - no way should this personnel be so poor. I hate to heap all the blame on Kerry Coombs but in my opinion Ohio State is simply too elite a program to have a DC who was coaching high school football 8 to 10 years ago. He actually lived in our neighborhood and he's a big chowderhead. The Rah-Rah BS only goes so far. He's simply over matched in the big games. Joe Morehead was playing chess and Coombs was playing Candyland. I would be shocked, SHOCKED if he's still the DC next year. They'll settle down and could win out but if Iowa can get 2 and 3 star prospects to play solid defense why can't Kerry Coombs do the same with a slew of 5 stars? They can't whiff on every player? It's [player development and the Buckeyes aren't doing it on the defensive side of the ball.
And CPA - I told you there would be a worse targeting call than the one in the OSU/Minnesota game - check out the hit Sewell put on Chris Olave on Ohio State's second to last possession. It was a clear explosion lead by his helment into Olave's back. Unbelieveable - they even said it was reviewed. The fact it took Sewell several minutes to get up was a clear indication he rang his bell. Crazy....
