Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Urban Renewal



It's already been leaked and reported as fact by every known media outlet. Urban Meyer will be the next head football coach at Ohio State. (At this point, he better be, or else a whole lot of people will be mortally embarassed.) If the goal is for OSU to remain among the elite "programs", there's no better choice than Meyer. If that's the goal, and, obviously, it is.

Luke Fickell got the shit-end of this stick, didn't he? Local guy, former player, long-time assistant, loyal employee. "Here you go, Luke -- take over our depleted team, freshly in the NCAA doghouse, and by the way, you're interim. Good luck, son."

At our local football factory, 7-5 or 6-6 just doesn't cut it, no matter the circumstances. Fickell has my sympathies.
