What I learned last night:

1) Giving up a little Ohio State mojo for the best freaking Carolina barbeque that has ever crossed my lips was totally worth it.

2) Greg Oden, pictured here walking off the floor at the Dean Dome, is taller than everyone.

3) Without Greg Oden, Ohio State’s basketball team is really, really good.

4) With Greg Oden, the team is going to be unbeatable. Seriously, if he had been playing last night, we would have won, and it wouldn’t have been close.

5) When we play Carolina again in March — or maybe even April — things are going to be different.

6) When we play Carolina again in March — or maybe even April — I’ll probably break down and eat the barbecue again. Sorry. It’s that good.

Y’all be sure to watch my Ohio University Bobcats play for the MAC football championship tonight on ESPN.

Yeah. That was as weird to type as it is to read.
