The Buckeyes may have disappointed, but fans owe it to this special team to circle the wagons and focus on beating Michigan.
It happened. The 18- and 22-year-olds you root for to be better at a game than all the other groups of 18- and 22-year-olds in the county lost a crucial match, and now the dream for your team to be champions again is likely dead.
Get over it.
It's OK to be sad, and disappointed, and even a little angry at what happened last week. It's easy to slip into using hyperbolic terms like "disaster" or "failure".
