My new smart TV gives me access to the Ohio IMG portal and lines up Ohio sports clips from YouTube when I search for "Ohio Bobcats." One of the clips I came across tonight was Dion's game-winning INT return vs Pitt. Still got on my feet and cheered him on when I saw it. Probably the greatest finish in Ohio football because a sure Pitt score turn into an Ohio TD.

Made me wonder what he was doing. Google came up with his LinkedIn profile, and he's an assistant football and girls b-ball coach at Lake Nona HS in Orlando. I really hope he makes it as a coach. He had his head on straight and showed a lot of game smarts at Ohio.

+1 One of the greatest plays in the history of OHIO football. And, Dion was a great man off the field, from everything I heard. Dion also had a pick 6 earlier in the game. He put OHIO on his shoulders and willed that win. Is he in the OHIO Hall of Fame yet? Should be!

That game pretty much was the return of OHIO FOOTBALL.

A 21-year old mostly-moronic me thought about taunting Dave Wannstedt as he ran past me as we stormed the field. Then the puny smart part of my brain reminded the rest of my brain that Dave Wannstedt is 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds. Plus, I respect the mustache. It's pretty amazing close up.
