Blog Inception

As with my everyday blog, the idea for this blog was inspired by a friend of mine. As you might surmise by the name of the blog, this blog is sports-related--more specifically, it is OSU sports-related.

For many years, I have followed all things OSU football. Most recently, I have also started following OSU basketball. And while I may enjoy my rantings and ravings about football, I have always felt that people (specifically of the male persuasion) roll their eyes at my opinions on the sport. I am not alone. It seems a common perception that women would rather sit around and talk about purses and shoes than follow the game of football with any real sincerity.

I have seen it in action for years. While a lot of the guys I know will acknowledge my opinion, the most guilty men seem to be of the older generation. I will never forget being completely dismissed by one of my parents' friends when I began talking about OSU football. Unfortunately, I wasn't there when my "opinion" came to pass weeks later to see whether he remembered how quickly he dismissed me.

So when another of their friends called me one evening and asked me for my opinion on Ohio State, I was almost at a loss for words. He went on to say how he often bases his own conversation on my opinions, and he enjoys my facebook posts throughout the season. He said I should start a blog.

"A blog? Who would care what I have to say about it?"

Apparently, he would.

And even if he is my ONLY reader, this gives me a healthy outlet to express my opinion on Ohio State football and basketball. And perhaps it will spare some of my friends and family some eye-rolling at having to listen to me drone on for the 100th time.

So here we go with...
