Well, I must admit that I have a soft spot in my cold, rock-hard, black heart for Ohio State fans 'cuz ... true confessions time ... the absolute best man I've ever known on this earth, my father, was born in Ohio and was an Ohio State fan until the day he died. He wasn't a rabid fan, but he rooted for them.
