Goodbye, 2016: January

THE GOOD

• The Finale: Zeke closed his Buckeye career with four touchdowns in a Fiesta Bowl win over Notre Dame
• Urban Meyer dabbed again. This was back when the Dab was still breathing.
• Urban's 50th Ohio State win only took four seasons, which is absurd.
• Twelve-Star Monday - Ben Victor, Dwayne Haskins Jr. and Keandre Jones all pledged Scarlet & Gray.
• Braxton Miller’s heartfelt letter to OSU fans made every room dusty.
• Joey Bosa said goodbye as well. 
• While Ohio State was losing so many juniors to the NFL draft, former junior who also went pro early Ted Ginn was receiving the NFC Championship game ball on a team filled with Buckeyes

  THE SAD

• RIP, Afroduck
  

  Afroduck: 20?? - 2016
• Bosa’s college career ended with targeting ejection.
• Ohio State didn’t cruise to a repeat national title, only finished 4th nationally and that didn't feel great and we felt guilty for not appreciating it.
• Indiana annihilated the Buckeyes in Bloomington, ending a seven-game winning streak and foreshadowing the basketball season.

  HMMM...

• Michael Thomas got in Jourdan Lewis’ head and made him #madonline 
• Wow, the 2016 Buckeyes are going to be young - but don’t worry - JTB, Raekwon and Pat totally got this.
