We all claim to be "Buckeyes" comes football season, when we wear the red and gray. But would you be so saavy as to recognize a "real" Buckeye months before kickoff...and all those necklaces?

It doesn't seem that long since New Year's and the Buckeyes winning the Fiesta Bowl, and in reality it has been, because there's been very little memorable since then with which to gauge...except in one particular case.

It’s hard to honor one’s mother without at least some consideration for what so many of them have missed...from being a product of their own time.

A month into the season and the Reds are what they are, but for the sake of relevance to their fans, the Reds had better make some considerations...and soon!
