It's a feeling, a black cloud, or tension in the air that happened in The Game in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. You could feel the anxiety as it was palpable. Some say it was the cheating and to some extent it was, but it was also how we responded that mattered just as much, and this caused us fans much anguish. Then yesterday, you could feel it rising as they got a FG and then a pick. In that moment, all the past 4 years were staring upon us as ghost to see how we would respond. Would we resort to being conservative? Would we play tight? Would we be physical? Was the train already coming off the track so early this year as prior years? Then as if a big gust of wind came through we marched down field and got a FG. However, the powers to be were still not sure but they were starting to gain confidence that this time was different. Could it be, would it be, or it has to be, right? Then we get a TD and then another. You could see the black cloud fighting but the wind was winning. As the game progressed the black cloud kept losing and the wind kept winning. Finally, the response was victory, joy and you saw a team who had confidence, a coach who showed trust, and a nation of BUCKEYE fans yelling could be heard on every media outlet. But it was in that moment down a measly 6-0 when everything could have unraveled that I felt the tide was changing as all the talk finally had transitioned to the field. For me it was in that moment when I felt like The Game had finally given us back our momentum. I am still celebrating today and already feel hopeful for next year. I hope we continue to beat them so badly that they have to cheat again, said in tongue and cheek. GO BUCKS
