They Don't Need A Dam In The Whole State Of Michigan
In a rare moment of truthfulness, Hugh Hewitt stated on his radio program late Friday that his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes would soon be headed to the Rose Bowl. After the Buckeyes were soundly thrashed by the Big Ten Conference champion Michigan Wolverines, this might very well be the case. They sure as hell ain't going to the Sugar Bowl.
Granted, in order for the Buckeyes to take Michigan's place in the Rose Bowl both USC and LSU must suffer losses next weekend. This would most likely vault the Wolverines into the BCS Championship Sugar Bowl game while folks in Ohio (and Hugh) look on with jealous admiration. Nevertheless, Hugh's statement was a revealing departure from his regular mantra that OSU was headed towards back-to-back national championship seasons.
Was Hugh's moment of truthfulness a simple slip of the tongue or was it really his deep-seated belief that Michigan has a much better team than Ohio State? Who knows? But, I can only applaud the fact that Mr. Hewitt took a brief respite from his fantasy world and joined the rest of us here on planet Earth to tell it like it is.
Unfortunately, given Hugh's past transgressions, I fully expect him to come on the air Monday evening with some half-assed explanation about the failings of the BCS ranking system. He'll deny ever doubting the Luckeyes and contrive some ridiculous scenario that somehow ranks Ohio State above Michigan despite the fact that they couldn't come up with a win when it counted.
Spare us the indignity, Hugh. The truth seekers are listening. Don't let us down...again.
