We are sporadic at best here at Bang for Your Buck. We would, however, lose our blogging license if we did not post this. I am serious.
In the tragically truncated Judd Apatow show Freaks and Geeks, a character asks Geek Bill why he’s always smiling on the verge of laughter. He says it’s because he replays movies in his head. If you should ever see a Buckeye smiling for no apparent reason, bet dollars to pesos he’s viewing this clip in his brain.
This is the only face that mirrors my own on hearing the news. What if Tressel left with a similar lack of warning? Well, that would be as bad as a shark eating your plane two days before your wedding. We’ll run down that doomsday scenario this week in UWeekly. Until then, pray.

You all fail football. FOREVER.
