We don't even have any signs in town recognizing the 2014 team that won state. And one of the signs coming in from Gladewater has a PG sticker plastered right in the middle of it that nobody will even remove. In my opinion the Buckeyes have grown irrelevant to 75% of the town.
I haven't even seen that sign with the sticker on it. I guess I'll have to take a closer look on the way home.

This year's Buckeyes look bigger than the last few teams I've seen. It may be an optical illusion, though. I'm with you in that it seems the excitement has tapered off. I would love to see the DEFENSE stressed more, though, and unless that happens, it will be another season of what-ifs. We will win a lot of games, though, for sure.
