There hasn't been an Ohio State football team to finish the regular season with just six wins in a decade (1999), when John Cooper's Buckeyes failed to reach a bowl game in his 12th season as head coach.
1999 resembled '11 in more than one way as OSU ended up 3-5 in conference play, losing to Miami (FL), Penn State, Michigan State and Michigan, and stumbled to the finish line by losing three straight heading into the postseason.
I was eight years old at the time, most likely showcasing my coveted Pokemon cards in third-grade show-and-tell.
From the "Tat Five" suspensions to the rocky departures of Jim Tressel and Terrelle Pryor to some ugly, heart-wrenching losses (see Miami, Michigan State), there hasn't been much to cheer for as an Ohio State fan in 2011.
However, despite the dark, omniscient cloud that seemed to have lurked around the Ohio State University this year, causing chaos and turmoil dating back to last December, there have been a few bright spots to hold onto for the future.
And my crystal ball shows that the future is gleaming.
