Tapping an Unseen Power?

As I sat with my assistant watching the highlights of last night's Tennessee/ UCLA OT slugfest, he made a comment that sent shivers down my spine: "Is it cold in LA?  Why is Rick Neuheisel wearing a sweater vest?"

Sweater Vest?  Wait a minute.

Is this just a simple man-crush?  Is this a desire to "be like Jim?"  Or has Rick found the secret to OSU's power?  Perhaps he has unraveled the mystery of making consecutive BCS Championship Games like a snagged cable-knit.  Naysayers will point to Neuheisel's lack of neckware but I would postulate that the knot is what has kept the power from flowing in big games.  If Jim would loosen up, perhaps his team would be able to win the Big One.

I'm going to ask Carson Kressly to look into it deeper...

In my humble opinion:

Just a plain sweatervest isn’t going to get it done. He needs an oversized American Flag pin if he wants a National Championship.

Some people choose to wear more pieces of flare, and we encourage that.
