Tom: Please don’t take anything I say too seriously around here with respect to football, or anything else for that matter. And there certainly is no reason to get ticked off before going to church. I have to admit I’m a total homer. Give me Bucks football and the Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavs, in that order. As far as any other teams are concerned, I’m just not that interested. I’m not the type to sit down and watch any game just for the sake of watching. In fact, I’m not nearly as fanatic about my home teams since 1995. Prior to 95 I used to live for Browns games. I could hardly function at work on Mondays after a Browns loss, especially when they lost close game, like the two AFC Championship losses to the Denver Broncos back in the mid 80’s. Anyhow, in 1995 the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. When that happened, it just took something out of me. I decided I’d never invest that much emotionally into a sporting event. So, please, take whatever I say about sports with many, many grains of salt. I’m just having a little fun.

Now, having said that, HOW IN THE HECK CAN OKLAHOMA BE RANKED NO. 1. I understand that preseason polls mean little. I also understand that the Bucks won several close games last year. But the fact is, they won every game, including the national championship! Need I remind you that Oklahoma lost not once but twice. Sheesh! What’s a Buckeye gotta do to get some respect! I HEARD THAT, JACK!
