7. Sorry, probably not me... I can't even pick a desired winner on Saturday, so I'll leave it to the "spirits..."

(I had a detested and really deplorable--likely a Trumpist today--roommate for a while from Penn who would never stop talking about it even though we were at UGA during its less recent highly successful national championship period. I have to admit to having to work hard to suppress any satisfaction when it suffered its long string of really awful scandals, but I won't focus on that...

Ohio State is a team that has always disgusted me with their run-up of scores on hapless schedule-filling teams without even having the decency of going to the second and third-string to give both practice and a middling chance when the game was already won. Then their nasty mimicking of Texas fans throwing cans and bottles on the field in the Nebraska game when they didn't like a referee's call. And then there is their attitude of superiority. Nope. I only get satisfaction that there are so many "O" state schools that they can't use OSU--despite the longstanding confusion.

So? Coin flip. Penn has had time to redeem itself and I haven't seen or even thought about that old roommate in many years, so... Go Penn?

That said, we badly need both states to go our way on Tuesday so... Good luck to both?
