Every year, I ask myself, “Am I a fan of the Big Ten Conference or simply just a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes? It’s a question that I annually reflect on prior to the opening kickoff of the college football season – albeit for maybe 17 seconds. And every year I remind myself that all I really care about is Ohio State, and it’s such a refreshing revelation, over and over again.
Maybe it’s a byproduct of #FirstWorldProblems – otherwise known as #BuckeyeNationProblems – but in the last decade or so, Ohio State fans have been able to enjoy the luxury of not caring about the well-being of our conference counterparts.
