OHIO is up by 20 at halftime against the Georgia Tech Rambling Wrecks. High school kid listening to his radio in the living room has visions of OHIO pulling upset in the next round against O$U. However, the Rambling Wrecks live up to their nickname and ramble closer and closer as the second half progresses, and finally claim the lead for the first time in the final minute or so of the game. Hang on to win. And, ramble is the right word; there were no big streaks, just inching closer and closer as the clock winds. With the Rambling Wreck's win the Kid is crushed. Depressed for weeks over having defeat pulled from the jaws of victory. THE KID, NOW AN OLD FART, WANTS REVENGE TONIGHT. GO OHIO! For those interested here's the relevant scores of GT's game in that tourney: 1960 Sweet Sixteen Ohio W 57-54 Elite EIght Ohio State L 69–86 Last Edited: 11/18/2016 5:47:58 PM by OhioCatFan The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

What's next? OHIO gets a MACC in football? I would not want to bet against it. Go OHIO!

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....
