There must be a reasonable explanation for this photo, besides the obvious scenario of a Michigan SID spying on Thad Matta's squad and hacking into Ohio State's official athletics Web site. On second thought...
Well, that's an oopsie Ohio State wishes it had back, kind of like the way everyone feels about the Maurice Clarett Era and Miami fans remember the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. Then again, there's always a chance to infuse some reason into this photo with a caption. What do we have here?
Ohio State players gather on the shore of Lake Erie before practice.
Must have been a wee bit nippy out there.
