As an old high school lineman who cut his teeth on trap blocking and grind it out, move the chains, smash mouth football, it didn't bother me a bit that the Bucks didn't throw much yesterday. My book will even have a story, told by one of the participants, on what has come to be known as simply "The Drive"... a famous Ohio Stadium series of 8 straight running plays that propelled the Buckeyes to a conference title and a national championship.

Of course yesterday did bother some fans who want to see them air it out like the west coast or southern teams. My friend Bob Hunter had some rather good commentary on that perspective, and what it means nationally. Since he said it much better than I could, I will simply suggest you read his story here.
