Softball championships were last night and although we made a great run in the playoffs (mostly by showing up when the other team forgot), we were eliminated in a bloodbath in the final. The other team didn’t exhibit great sportsmanship and while we all had good moments the team never got clicking on all four wheels at the same time. I made some great catches to keep us going, but also missed one play early that could’ve limited two runs, had great hits but also couldn’t get on base with them because the fielders in left field and third base were absolutely great. And that’s just life. Unfortunately that’s also what one guy told me as we carried him to his car since he got knocked over playing catcher – “that’s just life”.
At least we didn’t have some all-star professional jerk playing on our team like Pryor. Singlehandedly guilty of wrecking our football program and getting Tressel fired for trying to cover his butt might be an over exaggeration but it’s how I feel. He should be ashamed of his lifestyle and his attitude towards the rest of the team. Not only did he let down a huge fan base, but he got the greatest coach in college football “resigned” from one of the best football schools in the country. He might have seemed a little pretentious with his published morals, but this was a coach who truly “got” Ohio and Columbus. He loved this place and won me over with his classy wins over Michigan, his truthful response in press conferences, his encouragement of the prayer and Carmen Ohio after every game and his speech after winning the 2002 trophy. Nobody’s perfect, but Pryor makes the devil look good this week.
