...and on a related tangent to the above belly-achin', this one goes at the very TOP of that "Don't wanna hear about it"-list for the decade, at least:
See where OSU just gave Urban Meyer a "monster extension" of his contract as Head Coach there? Yeah, I'm SURE he's a convincingly loud'n'proud "Buckeye" now--in his image, statements, "It's my home, my FAMILY'S, home, where we CAME from...", etc. So when begins the next (choose one) "illness"/depression/sudden-private-realization-that-the-string-of-luck-and-magic-has-turned-once-more-and-I'm-bout-to-get-caught-with-my-pants-down-again routine? Out will come the Drama Queen, the indecision, the confusion and mixed signals preceding the official statements and somewhat cloudy circumstances of his eventual exit. When, for how long, and where to after that?
In that vein, here's a long range, priests-of-Delphi-style prognostication:
"The City-man's pursuit of Our Lady never ends".
It doesn't take multi-leveled analysis of mythic symbolism, a la James Joyce, to follow what I'm saying here. OK--I've said it, gotten it out of my system. Sorry. Now I "Don't wanna HEAR about it" no more. But I will, WE will--right up until the decline and fall, the wheel inevitably turns and the other shoe drops. (Think I've run out of bile AND cliches now, you'll all be glad to hear)
