The Situational:

Crazy as it might sound, the Buckeyes haven't lost a football game in East Lansing in 19 years.

Nineteen. The dial-up internet hissing and popping sounds era, when spooky, inexplicable and paranormal phenomena were the norm. The Y2K glitch was going to be the end of the world, but Ty Willingham winning the Pac Ten and taking four-loss Stanford to the Rose Bowl was totally fine and normal.

I remember this insanity vividly. Up was down, right was left, the Buckeyes didn't go bowling that season and it wasn't because of an NCAA ban levied against the program for running a lurid trinket cartel; it was because the team was so bad at football that it didn't qualify.
