The Greatest

Did anyone hear how Greg Oden and the Ohio State Buckeyes lost a basketball game last night. Reportedly, it was to a rival squadron in the same conference.

If you check out any major sports newspaper or website, you'll see how the valient Buckeyes turned a near-blowout into a close game in the final minute, nearly pulling off a chance to maybe be able to secure a stunning road victory, by playing like a 15th seed in the final minute of an NCAA tourney game (foul and launch threes). Oden, when not being completely shut down by force-to-be-reckoned-with Jason Chappell, apparently dominated the game by dunking the ball twice. Wow, what a fucking superstar. One could only shudder to think at the superlatives that would be flying around if Ohio State had actually won the game, instead of still searching for a single quality win.

Rumor has it that the team that Ohio State nearly had a chance to take to overtime was actually rated #3 in the country in a survey of some sort. I'm not sure how accurate these reports are, since every article accompanying the story shows the above picture (tears, caption and Oden snot bubble added by me).
