What Does It Mean?

Woah.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life gives you double rainbows, make shaky 2C-T-7 fueled made-for-YouTube glory.

Taking nothing away from auteur Hungrybear9562, but what does it mean? What does any of it mean? Some questions are too heavy to be broached in but a few hundred words, but none the less the need to delve into the unknown and explore the heavier questions within the Ohio State athletics universe remains a must. Fasten your seatbelt, make sure your seat and tray table are in their locked and upright positions, and prepare your mind for the infinite:

T-Washington Washington, Six-Foot-Twenty Freaking Killing For Fun (Offer Valid Only During Spring)

How is it possible that Taurian Washington can go absolute beast mode spring after spring but remain completely docile when needed most? Many recall inopportune drops against the likes of Navy and Washington in general coming across as seemingly unreliable in any other issues of remote importance. However turn the calendar to Miss April, and hello playmaker. From bringing in the bomb in the clip above to the heroics of this past spring, Washington continues to demonstrate the abilities that have him strongly in the mix for Duron Carter's vacated third receive slot this Fall. Solution? Besides exposing him to the magic of the double rainbow, consider hypnotizing Washington into a state of permanent spring. Spring quarter schedule, spring quarter workouts. Heck, even let him wear a jersey with pink numbers if that's what it takes.

Terrelle Pryor videos set to Flock of Seagulls

A true "what does it mean"? While it surely besmirches the videos with the likes of Nickelback with its awesomeness, what was the motivation behind linking the most athletic quarterback ever to suit up in the scarlet and gray with a 1980's anthem reeking of Zachary Allen Starkey hair? Had someone been playing entirely too much Grand Theft Auto 4? Does the emergence of The XX prove that new wave electro pop and indie dream pop all come back around full circle if you follow it through long enough? Most unfortunately this video's existence provides little more closure than our good friend's original question and actually leaves us with more questions than we started with.

Eleven Warriors Patron Saint Ray Small

Don't ever change.

Ray Small is not just one Buffalo Wild Wings incredible, he's two. While he frustrated many of us with his seemingly never ending eligibility woes, Ray Small has reinvented himself through graduation as an epic symbol of realness and to paraphrase the man, the myth, the legend "doing all things 'him'." It's easy to take out our frustration on his unfulfilled potential relative to his production as a Buckeye, but it's even easier to recognize that there's still a guy underneath those football pads and a thoroughly entertaining one at that. Instead of spewing vitriol and complaining about what could've been, follow this man on twitter and let the two rainbows quality ride commence. What makes him tick? Does he still play for the Vikings in lieu of the constant Hilliard, OH references and trips to C-Bus clubs? What do any of his tweets ever really mean? We may never truly have the answer to any of these questions.

Crazy Metaphor From Crazy Proud Conference Rival Fanbase Equals Crazy Stroke Onset Symptoms

WHAAAAAA?Purdue Pete smashes footballs bathed in dry ice
with a hammer. Your argument is invalid.
This post from Purdue blog "Hammer and Rails" is like an octuple rainbow. Look, I'm all for confidence. However, having the utmost faith in your program's staff to where you can muster up the gumption to classify the winningest team in your conference the last decade as a "toss-up" takes that to brave new heights. The post adds more magic when it states that Ohio State fans referred to the Purdue embarrassment as "Purdue Harbor". It's possible Ohio State fans somewhere did this, though the very mention is certainly news to me. I'm also in the dark if any Buckeyes out there called it Purdue/11, PurD-Day, the Purd Purdorsemen of the Purpocalypse, or any other tasteless play on words. If these things happened, perhaps it's best if I continue not knowing about them. (Author's note: Thanks to the reader who pointed out this originated around these parts. As always, I'm an idiot. What does it mean, indeed.)

The post goes further all M Night Shyamalan with this epic comment. And this is mentioning nothing of the fact that the post was sponsored, ergo someone was getting bankrolled for making this sort of magic happen. /frantictears "WHAT DOES IT MEAN?", etc.

Alas it seems we opened a pandora's box of wonder and we're no closer to answered the great question than we were when we started. If the answers come more easily to you, please share, or if further Ohio State natural wonders merit exploration, by all means: blow our minds.

"The post adds more magic when it states that Ohio State fans referred to the Purdue embarrassment as “Purdue Harbor”. It’s possible Ohio State fans somewhere did this, though the very mention is certainly news to me."

I was under the belief that the phrase "Purdue Harbor" was coined on this site. I know that is where I first read it.

I had assumed a message board of some variety. But while I made fun of the name, the "wouldn't that mean it had to be in Columbus?" was the real lulz. It's certainly possible it was coined here though.

As mentioned above, it was in fact coined by an author on this site. I meant no disrespect to them and was just having fun with the phrase. I'm certainly guilty of far worse play-on-word tomfoolery. Mea culpa.

Maybe its just the ones that I know, but Purdue fans are pretty good compared to a lot of other programs. That post notwithstanding, of course.

concur... a believe i saw "purdue harbor" here too; iirc, a post about the upcoming 2010 schedule and revenge for "purdue harbor"

but can't say i ever saw the other ones; particularly the 4 horsemen; wth? who came up with that? i mean, please, I could barely figure out what it was suppose to parody and who are these Purd Purdorsmen? I mean, it was clearly a bad day for the Buckeyes and, ya know, due credit to Purdue for a good game and all, but com'on... if Pryor, et. al., had been "on" Purdue would have been typical Purdon't and Purdidn't (HT: to whom ever came up with Purdon't and Purdidn't; wasn't me; think i read those on a Hoosier site).

What kills me is the game was in OSU's hands with the Coleman interception in the first half and was called back. One bad call by the zebras and we have to listen to that crap.

It's on this year! We are going to rock out with our Greg Oden out!

How about "Pryoresque Running" !!!!!!The stiff arm looks like Beanie...he effortlessly just pushes them away. Third & short (3 or less) spread them out & let him run. Throw in a tight end over the middle, and we really have a lot of weapons. BTW ....no comment on "Pussybear".

Re: Purdue -- their new QB (transfer from Miami (FL)) is supposed to be very good and Purdue returns a lot of last year's starters. so, let's not overlook; i don't think we lose (it's a home game), but let's not get overconfident.

That's said to us fans. As for the team, I trust that Tress will have the team properly motivated and they won't be overlooking Puddon't.

Watching those Pryor highlights, I want to know what goes through a TE or lineman's head when they're releasing upfield or blocking upfield and see every defender in front of them stops cold and changes direction, meaning Pryor must be taking off behind me and I better not F5 this block. Must be awesome to see him fly by. Blocks need to improve, though...lots of those plays came back on penalties.

Go Bucks! No one should be sweating Purdue, though, or what their fans are writing. They do have the bragging rights, so we'll just let the football team do the talking. Exactly 7 weeks until kickoff.
