Of course I'm not gong to say I knew were going to win the NC as soon as JTB was hurt. Come to think of it.. I was terrified that we were going to see a barrage of BauserBombs until CJ hit his first pass to Michael Thomas in the TTUN game.
When I watched the B1G Journey Show on the Michigan State game - at the very end of the segment they show a very happy UM3 walking down the tunnel with a player hidden by a shadow. As the shadow disappeared it was none other than Cardale Jones and UM3 sharing a moment celebrating the win @MSU.
I kept referencing this moment to people after JTB was hurt saying - there was something so genuine and impressive about that. He had gotten it. He was celebrating success as a team.. not bemoaning the fact that he didn't play, nor being cold and distant as he easily could have been.
I may be proven wrong about this - but that one moment. A slow motion clip of maybe 5-7 seconds is the most important aspect of this whole amazing journey. What makes UM3 such a great coach is more than the x's and o's... it's the lives that he is molding. I feel that CJ is completely genuine in his buying into the team and growing as a person. Sure he wants to be #1... but at the end of the day he wants OSU to be #1.
It is so good to be a Buckeye now. Amazing. As Ramzy said in his great article, enjoy it. live it up. and savor every story about it.
