Malaise and Blues

This is the first post about college football and I may be putting the cart before the horse but this topic is timely.  Some day there will be a post on my evolution as fan of Ohio State football, but this isn’t it.  Also, noting my allegiance, it may seem odd that I refer to a certain program by name here.  There are plenty of other derisive names to use when referring to that team, and I use them often; but for this post I’ll step back from all of that just to avoid turning this into some sort of rivalry shtick.  And one last thing before getting started…
