Ohio State of Mind: Minnesota


November is the month when contenders rise and others' hopes die.

Will we rise to the challenge or will we crumble at the feet of our enemies?  This is when we learn who we are at our core.  We will be tested.  We will be pushed to our limit.  How we respond will define our season and determine how we will be remembered.

November is the month when champions are born.

They don't give out trophies for winning in September and October.  There are a lot of undefeated teams still, but only a few will remain by the start of December.  Some have already fallen.  We must make sure that we are still one of the ones standing.  That starts today with a win over Minnesota.

November is the month when the grind gets tough.

We knew from the beginning that this would be the month to make or break us.  Starting right now, we learn how tough we really are.

November is the month when leaders step up.

Will we learn from our mistakes or fall into mediocrity?  We must not regress.  Move forward and get better.  If not for yourself, do it for the guy next to you.

November is our month.

Urban Meyer owns November.  We own November.  Meyer is 46 - 3 in his three-and-a-half seasons at Ohio State.  That means he is losing only one game per season, on average.  You might think that means we are due for a loss.  Wrong.  Last week was our loss.  Bye week got the better of us, but from here on out, we beat everyone.


Go Bucks.  Beat Minnesota.
