Right...because broad, sweeping generalizations of the entire population of a city really require a good grip on perspective as well...*rolls eyes* Hypocrites. Yes, I'm a Buckeyes fan, and yes, I'm pissed that Hamby didn't catch that ball. It's his job, for jebus' sake! He had THREE chances to catch it. But regardless, I'm also pissed at Tressel, and Zwick, and Troy...just about the entire team. But I'm not going to threaten their lives. It sucks what happened, and it sucks we lost. But if I ever met Hamby on the street, I'd pat him on the back and say, "We'll get 'em next time. Don't sweat it." They are only kids after all, and nobody is perfect. I don't hold it against anyone personally. It was only an unfortunate situation and a unlucky string of bad decisions. As they say, hindsight is 50/50. If Zwick would have thrown a TD on that last drive, he'd be throned as a savior and Tressel as the smartest man alive. Every loss requires at least one scapegoat...EVERY sports fan knows it, and can't deny it. ...besides...it's only a f**king game. Some people need to just get over it.

Perspective just doesn't mix with Columbus,
