Go hard....from beginning to end

You can't be a champion if you are only playing hard half the time. This is not a bash on the Buckeyes, it's a reminder to myself.

Learn the lesson our Buckeyes taught us during March Madness. They went on an incredible run that stretched from the back end of the regular season, through the B1G tournament, all the way to the Elite 8. Something happened when they came up against the Wichita St Shockers though. I'm not sure what it was; fatigue, lack of motivation, underestimating the opponent. Whatever it was, the Buckeyes lacked urgency in that 1st half. They fell behind and were not able to catch up. It cost them a regional championship and a shot at the national championship.

It all went down because they did not show up ready to play. That will not be me.
