Don't dare think that Ohio State football fans don't care anymore. --- There is no doubt Ohio State football fans still care. There’s no question about it. — Don’t even question their fanhood. That would be you’re first mistake. Many of which the Buckeyes have made, leading to where they are now.
You can choose to be mad at Ohio State all you want, but it will doesn’t matter. And it never will. There is nothing nobody can do about it. Whine all you want, and beg, do you’re worst, but it’s not going to ever help. The Buckeyes’ 12-0 record will not save their season, quarterback Braxton Miller’s solid numbers won’t be enough to salvage this sour-taste, but it’s not the sour-taste you would think they have. Either way, it doesn’t matter, The Buckeyes, due to their own stupidity, will not be going bowling this time. — It doesn’t matter if they played 14 games, and still went undefeated, as they are under NCAA Sanctions. There’s the negative side, now I present to you some light. – You can choose to view this situation either-way you like.
But the Buckeyes aren’t the only one’s who know what it feels like. Look no further than the 2011 USC Trojans football team, which may I add due to sanctions, allowed UCLA to compete in the Big Ten Championship game that season, which takes a bunch of legitimacy away from the land of College Football. — Talk about a Trojan virus, right?
That’s what the Buckeyes are dealing with now. It’s not something the fans can be happy about, but they cheer their team on every Saturday, anyway. They cheer them on as if their not under sanctions. The sight of the uplifted cheerful fans gives some chills. — It gives some chills because they can see past the blind-side of which the NCAA committee can’t.
— They can choose to punish this school even more, and it still won’t light a candle in the school spirit. Or they can choose to whine and moan because the fans have spirit, and they don’t.
The sight of the fans that still believe, even when all hope is gone, is what made this season’s Ohio State team special. — ”Special”? You might ask. Yeah, special. You know, the special that defines this team, which is unlike any-other, and it gives some chills. – Those people who sanctioned this team don’t know the first thing about special, or any other thing this team gave, and in turn they have their old Red and White to thank, because like them, they’re special. — That’s what makes this team special. – Special enough for their fans to care, even at this point when they won’t be bowling.
— This doesn’t have to be said to them though. – They know this, that’s exactly what makes them special, you know? The uplifted sight of the Ohio State alumni helped the team, and that sight that gives some chills is all due to the fact that they care. They care because it’s still football, and they know they can still win, and rub it in the faces of the nay-s

ayers. – Now that’s what makes them special. --- In case you we're wondering, there's no question, Ohio State football fans, they still care.
