  • Well I'll be damned, Sampson looked like he was shot out of a cannon. 

  • Happiness

  • Dagger touchdown. 

  • Fannin maybe two blocks on that play 

  • First time a Browns QB has won his first NFL start since Eric Zeier in 1995. 

  • That penalty was nonsense on Cam Thomas.

    I heard that too on NFL Network this morning.  And I remember that game and thinking we had the next guy and Bernie Part 2…until the following week they announced their move

    It was such a weird time to be a Cleveland sports fan.

    The Indians were a juggernaut that were in a beautiful two year old ballpark after decades of being a complete afterthought, and the Browns were leaving town. 

  • Good to see Judkins back in the game.

    Yep.  I leaned into baseball more became a bigger OSU fan I think I watched maybe a handful of NFL games the following year.

    Yeah, now that I think of it I started really following Ohio State after the Browns left too. I always rooted for them but it wasn't anything like the Browns. I could be wrong, but I swear growing up in the 80s/early 90s I don't recall Ohio State having the following here in NE Ohio like they have in the last 25 years or so. I remember once in the early 90s they played Northwestern at Cleveland Stadium and I don't recall it being a huge deal  If Ohio State played in Cleveland now it would be bananas. 

  • Meanwhile Myles is just Myles.

  • Well it's safe to say the raiders are bozos but a win is a win and it's pretty clear the players believe in sanders more than the fans do. Was he spectacular? Not really. Was he workable? Yes.

    Growing up I recall lots of Notre Dame Fans especially in the Youngstown area.  And then OSU emerged and beat them a couple times in the mid 90s.

    The Browns leaving but also Eddie George really rejuvenated OSU and their following. And then you have Tressel I don’t know if he made an impact in the Cleveland area specifically but when he went to OSU he brought a lot of eyes around Trumbull/Mahoning and other areas to OSU. 
     

  • Game - blouses. 

  • It was also nice to see what Sampson has to offer....................speed and moves out of the backfield.

    I really think Tressel coming in, consistently beat scUM and winning the national title made NE Ohio a diehard OhIo State region. 

    The Youngstown area being an area with a lot of Notre Dame fans makes sense, considering the large Italian/Eastern European Catholic population there. 

    mjp was a Mahoning Valley resident and like me, a Ohio State first but also a ND fan too.

    I was just thinking early on that he's been pretty much MIA since the opener, nice to see him contribute.
