Bedshaped

by Keane

Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town
Many the lives we lived in each day
And buried altogether

Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped and legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know

I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And they don't understand the same things as you
But I do

Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped and legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know

Oh
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know

By the way, on the slight chance any of you would like to hear the soundtrack to my life, listen to Keane's last two albums, "Hopes and Fears" and "Under the Iron Sea." They're wicked brilliant. Favorite band right now.

Ordinary World

by Duran Duran

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here beside the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world

UM-OSU

Look we had plenty of chances, so don't blame Crable for the helmet-to-helmet on Troy Smith. He's definitely not the only reason we lost. OSU turned the ball over at least three times, and we answered with 3-and-outs each and every time! No creativity in offensive play-calling (except for the reverse to Breaston) and no adjustments on defense. Not to mention the fact that our secondary was just outclassed. Tressel's a genius and Troy Smith's improved a whole hell of a lot. But seriously, why didn't we switch to man blitzes earlier in the game when they were passing? They countered our zones by throwing down the middle of the field, and they converted. But then when we switched in the second half, they burned us with some long runs down the middle of the field. Basically, our secondary just got blown up. The biggest disappointment (besides our run defense in the second half) was the amount of squandered chances we had on offense. Chad Henne had a big game, but we had too many 3-and-outs trying to keep the ball on the ground and dink-and-dunking in the second half. What's wrong Lloyd? Can't learn something from your opponent? We should've spread the defense out by putting out five-receiver formations in the second half. That way we could've run Mike Hart down the middle and Chad could've used his rocket arm and reads any way he wanted. That's always been our problem: no creativity on offense. With weapons like Henne, Manningham, Arrington, and Hart, we shouldn't have been so stagnant at times. After all, OSU doesn't have a great defense at all this year.

On the other hand, many props to Troy Smith. No one's gonna be watching the Heisman this year because there's no element of surprise. He carved Texas and Michigan up in the same year. That's impressive. And then there's Jim Tressel. 5-1 against Michigan? Dang Lloyd, you better step it up bro.

We were out-coached, out-played, and out-classed. But hey we still made it look close :) Hopefully we'll play an exciting game in the Rose Bowl!

Name

by the Goo Goo Dolls

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost and thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame

But you can hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
Mmm, mmm, mmm,

I won't tell em' your name

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down,
And I won't tell em your name

Parting Words of a Hero




"The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found. And over the last twenty-one years, I have found loyalty. You have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I've found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed -- sometimes even in my lowest moments. And I've found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams -- dreams I could have never reached without you. Over the last twenty-one years, I have found you and I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life. Thank you." - Andre Agassi
