Contrary to popular belief, I didn't boycott my blog for the month of April simply to avoid the wrath of what is going on with the Ohio State football program. But now that you bring it up, it would be nice if the old saying "April Showers bring May Flowers" would start to prove true.
While at a wedding this past weekend, I was asked by a fellow avid college football (and Texas fan) what I thought of Jim Tressell. My response was the same it has been and will continue to be until everyone (yes, EVERYONE, including those on the teams I follow) stop acting like total crooks and start taking things seriously. College athletes are students that are getting a college education for playing sports. It has been the same story since the beginning of time and for the love, can we just keep things innocent and right for their 3-4 years in college before they go pro? I don't want to hear about, talk about it or think about it.
My only hope for right now is that come August everyone can begin to focus on the good things going on in this sport. And if that means one of my teams needs to suffer with punishment, well, it is what it is.
