As Alabama, Florida State, and Oregon run roughshod over the competition to impress the last-ever BCS National Championship Game selection committee, Ohio State is left powerless. As of today, due to their soft Big Ten schedule, the Buckeyes have no realistic shot of making the championship.
As Buckeye fans hold their breath, hoping to find a worthy opponent, one Buckeye fan who's taken my breath away. Internet DIY chef Melissa Pfeister is more than a die-hard OSU fan. She's a die-hard America fan.
Here's Pfeister showing you how to make beer brats at home. The video is about 90 seconds long. She knows America has a short attention span.
Pfeister's love for America allows me to almost completely ignore her love for the Buckeyes.
Not many things are more American than this.
Usually, I cringe at Ohio State fans who wear poisonous nuts around their necks. But with Pfeister, for the first time I'm actually jealous of a grown man wearing an 18-year-old's jersey.
She sings Carmen Ohio even on the high seas.
Pfesister could have helped Paul Ryan with some much needed Buckeye-credibility last fall. The electorate would have much preferred Melissa to lead an "O-H-I-O" chant.
