We've been stuck in an alternate dimension for the past few weeks, but having found the monkey's paw which allowed us to travel back to a land in which there's actual football about to be played (no matter who the head coach is on the field), it's probably prudent that we start talking about the sport that pays the bills around here a little bit.
Unfortunately, the September slate of Ohio State opponents is... less than inspiring. Sure, you get Penn State at the very end of the month, and I guess a second road trip to Dallas in the same calendar year might be fun if you're a big fan of urban sprawl and oppressive heat, but beyond that you might think that the pickings are the equivalent of rice crackers topped with cream cheese.
