Nate Williams and Corey Brown aren't the only ones who won't suit up for the Buckeyes today.

It is 3 hours to kickoff and my Michigan State ticket is lying on the kitchen counter, alone, dejected, and without a date. I spent this morning in the doctors office doubled over in pain with back spasms, and in the state I am in, there is no way I could ride to Columbus, climb to C Deck, and set 3 hours on a metal bench!

So unfortunately I am relegated to the couch this afternoon, and I will have to eat my ticket cost, being it's too late to find anyone who wants it. (That's almost criminal isn't it, that it will go unused.) Hopefully the pain medication and muscle relaxers he put me on won't put me to sleep come game time.

Here's hoping that in a couple of days I will be good as new. Do you suppose it has anything to do with standing 6 hours in a bobbing boat in rough waters on Lake Erie the other day? You know us stupid fishermen!
