But college football, that I have walled off. It’s what I have covered the most and when you report on a sport, two things happen that make you dispassionate: 1. You see how the sausage is made. 2. You make a sacred pact to be impartial.
I still love my school -- Ohio State -- as a school, like anyone does. I still get misty at the alma mater because it reminds me of some great college days. I still wear my Block-O Woody cap to baseball games. But the football program? Nuh-uh. I've long since divorced myself from all that.
