I am almost unreasonably excited for this upcoming basketball game. As I have said several times in the past week, March Madness is collectively the greatest sporting event that this great country has. It is a representation of the purest kind of American egalitarianism; everyone gets a shot, you win on your own merits, and to hell with Notre Dame.
But to the matter at hand! This Thursday the Buckeyes take on South Dakota State in Boise, which is in Idaho, which, according to our guest, Director of Player Development Scoonie Penn, probably no one on the Ohio State men's basketball team has ever been to or thought about beyond a cursory glance at a potato sack.
