We're Having A Ball
OSU enjoyed a too-short trip to the NCAA tourney floor last week. Although we'd have liked to see the team stay longer, it was nevertheless a sweet visit. Even sweeter was the news, a week earlier, that head coach Jim O'Brien was named the best of the Big Ten basketball coaches. Finally, we're bouncing back...
Kent State took Indiana down in a buzzer-buster, to bounce into the second round of the NCAA tourney. They'll meet Cincinnati on Saturday night March 17. What luck -- Ohio's sure to win, either way.
The city of Kent, sandwiched between Akron and Cleveland (and stuck under the black cloud of a single day, thirty years ago, that will live in infamy) has been bouncing with Tigger-like enthusiasm all week. KSU's Coach Gary Waters is a no-nonsense type, and his herd of players is as nice as they come. You won't find a single show-boater, ball-stealer, or trash-talker on the team.
The only dark cloud hanging over this team is cloaked in Blue & Gold, as Waters is up for consideration to fill the head coach spot of that dreaded team up north. Groan.
Bright orange balls and bouncing spirits provided a welcome diversion from other recent news in NE Ohio. Legionnaire's Disease has been roaming the floor of the Ford Motor Company stamping plant in Cleveland, taking the lives of two workers this week. The plant shut down Wednesday night to test the plant's water and to safeguard other workers.
Scarier still was the news from Stow that a 9-year-old had been arrested for making threats against several classmates.
These are the stories that make me glad to hear that a Cincinnati Federal Appeals Court ruled on Friday that our State motto is constitutional, and may remain, "With God, all things are possible."
Indeed, it seems this week underscores the need to appeal to a higher power for peace, health, and happiness.
