Family, friends, well wishers, thank you all for coming. Today we remember the life and mostly the death of our good friend, the college football offseason. For 210 days, 5040 hours, 302,400 minutes, or somewhere north of 18 million seconds (whichever you prefer), the offseason provided us with a resting place of sorts, an undying land in which we could digest Ohio State's national championship in peace, rewinding DVRs and YouTube clips over and over and over again. Starting Monday that sanctuary will be gone, as the Buckeye players, coaches, and fans clamber out from their dens of inequity deep within the bowels of the earth and stare bleary eyed at the glaring sun of expectations.
