Signing Day happens to be a very big day for college football and basketball. Wednesday, it was football's turn, and LSU, Alabama, Miami, USC and Ohio State all got banner classes.

One student-athlete missing from all the hype is one of the top runningbacks in the nation, Bryce Brown out of Wichita (KS) East High School.

As many of you know I am a proud alum of The Ohio State University, so as you can imagine I am in quite a bit of pain this morning. I honestly don't know what is worse getting blown out (or blowed out as Emmitt would say) or losing a game that you fought your hearts out to win only to lose in the final seconds. I am thinking the latter because the lost last night to Texas is something that is going to burn a lot of Ohio State fans for a long time.

When we (and yes I said we because when you go to school as prestigious as OSU for 4 ½ years you become family) lost to Florida two years ago that was more shock than anything. When we lost to LSU last year that was expected, so a little easier to swallow. This year you would have been hard pressed to find anyone who thought OSU would beat Texas.

It was a moral victory to just be up 6-3 at halftime and wasn't surprising when Texas took a 17-6 lead early in the 4th quarter. But then Ohio State showed resolved that we haven't seen from them in the past. A lot of that has to do with the belief that Terrell Pryor truly is the savior for the program, but when OSU stormed back to take a 21-17 lead with a little under two minutes to go, Buckeye nation grasp onto something they haven't had in a very long time:

HOPE


In life I am an optimist, but in sports I am more of a pessimist and truly believe certain things are fated. When Texas converted a 4th down right around mid field by the slimiest of margins I thought in the back of my mind:

Game Over


A couple plays and an ill timed blitz later the game was over and another bitter BCS defeat for Ohio State to swallow.

Personally I believe it is:
