one game at a time.

So I’m ironing the clothes I’m going to wear to work today, and as is my custom on Thursdays during football season, I’ll be sporting some Ohio State gear. There have been a few games already — Texas and Penn State — when I’ve had at least an Ohio State tie on all week, but most of the time my last day at work seems to be sufficient.

I also pay attention to who we’re playing in a given week and try to avoid their team colors during that week. I usually do a good job.

But it just occurred to me that I wore an orange shirt yesterday.

I … think I’m suffering … a letdown. I’m … not … properly … focused.

Quick. Get Tressel on the phone. And somebody give me a pep talk.

    Don’t feel bad about the orange – schools do not have a monopoloy on colors, otherwise blue jeans would be a no no – and forget about the idea that some bird from northwest Ohio can claim the color orange – besides, you only wore it to signify and celebrate the seasonal change to autumn – you know, pumpkins, orange maples, etc.

  3. Yeah, but Kewyson, I don’t wear blue jeans to OSU games, specifically because they’re blue. For christsake, I even make sure my boxers are the proper color.

    I did wear red socks today, in hopes that I made up for Wednesday’s mistake.

  4. Your dogged insistence that personal apparel affects the outcome of a college football game is endearing. Kind of like a child smearing beets all over it’s face, sitting on the kitchen floor, rocking back and forth to an inaudible rhythm. Boxer shorts, for Christ’ sake. I’ll have Old Bay and mudbugs waiting…
