'Not sure if he's as much a jinx as Ted Cruz is for Univ of Texas, but...

Then again, Notre Dame has one hell of an impressive coach and "Touchdown Jesus" so...

I think if they would get rid of the "THE" then Ohio State would prevail. Any chance of that? LOL

1. Yes that is a major drawback, JD Vance. A disgraced and hated alumni.
OSU has over 600,000 living alumni, there is bound to be a few bad apples.

2. I am so thankful that Ted Cruz attended the Texas game. I actually loved him for showing up.

3. You are only an impressive coach if you win a game.

4. What in god's name is a touch down Jesus.

5. Ha ha ha That's a good one. Getting rid of the THE. Ha ha ha

In Ohio in the Cincinnati area on I 75 there used to be a huge Jesus statue,
62 feet high, in front of some sort of evangelical type protestant church.
His arms were stretched out like Touchdown Jesus.

People called him Butter Jesus because he looked like he was made of butter.
He was sitting down in huge pool of water and he was so big
it looked like his legs and feet ran under the interstate to the other side.

So everyone would tell their kids and friends from out of town to look for Jesus' feet
on the other side of the interstate, as a joke.

But alas a couple of years ago Butter Jesus got hit by lighting and burned to a crisp.
It was just made of styrofoam and fiberglass and was heavily insured, good thing.

Everyone missed him and the church built another Jesus but smaller and he didn't look like butter.
He is standing up and has the biggest anti lighting rod on his head.

At a high school field in Iowa. A fundraiser for the LA Area. Americana. A Field of Dreams.

Is that a real college?
Where is North Dakota?

But yes a good idea for a fund raiser.
