I'm not great at saying goodbye to anyone for any reason. I hate the finality of it; even if you're saying goodbye to someone you'll see in like 15 minutes, the syntax involved essentially implies that you're never going to see that person again. So I almost always add a squeaked-out "seee yaaaa" at the end to ward off any opportunistic boogeymen that really love grammatical quirks.
The nice thing about senior day at a school where the team is actually pretty good is that this isn't, in fact, the end for J.T. Barrett, Billy Price, and a whole host of other seniors. There's a Michigan game to look forward to, there's a Big Ten Championship, and hell, maybe a playoff game or two. Even though it's sad we won't see those guys in Ohio Stadium again in uniform, it should remind us to enjoy them while they're still being beamed into our living rooms. Because the ride isn't quite over yet.
THE PLAYERS
You only get so many opportunities and I thank God for the ones I have gotten! Lucky to have played with the seniors in their last game in the shoe. Rivalry week is here
