Rob,

Those are sandals, not flip-flops. Don't you know anything?

Keltner often is cited for ending Joe D's 56 game hitting streak, with a couple of nice fielding plays.

Those who have or had tenure in the game call them flops. Or shower shoes. Not sandals.

Let me get this straight. Professional ball players are so rich they wear LEATHER footwear in the shower?

(And I checked. You never had tenure. You had "sixure".)

We are not amused. And we take no prisoners.

Jim V B I was going for the Joe D. 56 game streak but I said Ohio Fan. Is Ohio part of Texas?

We lived just outside of Columbus from 1995 to 2005. So I have Ohio "connections". If I have to be a "fan" of the Indians or the Reds, I'm out. Not big on most Ohio teams. (Except that I'd like to see the Buckeyes recruit some team speed and be able to play with the SEC someday.)

I live in southern Michigan and worked in Ohio at two different places. Was just having a little fun. All of the Big Ten needs to recruit speed so we can get some respect in the polls. Was stationed at Ft. Bliss in the service also. D.

In the past I had always hated and rooted against Ohio State....I have no rationale for this as I don't believe Nebraska has ever played them. Now though because I am afraid they will try and steal our coach if Tressel gets fired I root for THE Ohio State University very heartily.

GO BUCKEYES!

Ohio State and Nebraska have played twice in football:

1955: OSU 28, Nebraska 20
1956: OSU 34, Nebraska 7

I'm proud to say I did not know this but had to look it up in our database. Ohio State football fans might find it interesting:
