One of Ohio's professional football teams made it back to the Super Bowl for the first time in a generation, and the game was extremely entertaining. Far from the blowout that seemed destined given the Los Angeles Rams' relative strengths, Cincinnati actually held the lead late in the ballgame until some untimely (and in one case highly questionable) penalty flags gave the host team one too many chances to score.
With Ohio State's Spring Game 60 days away and the season opener versus Notre Dame just 200 out, we find ourselves in that challenging period of the year in which there is no football.
