Dripping with irony

Eva Jarvis, Class of 1975, a former Wal-Mart sales assistant, provides irony over Ohio State’s butt-whipping of Oregon to win the national championship.

“Well, I know that there's one happy Ohio State Fan in Grant Town. Our son-in-law, Chuck Reed.”

The irony? The only other team to beat Oregon this season, and badly, too, was Arizona, coached by Grant Town’s most famous native, Rich Rodriguez.

Rich, the former WVU and Michigan coach, would have loved to play for the national title, but the Wildcats lost to the Ducks in the rematch in the Pac-12 conference championship game.

Rich, as we all know, had WVU ready to play in the BCS national title game until his Mountaineers lost to a 4-7 Pitt team in 2007, even with Pat White at quarterback.

And all the furor over Ohio State getting the 4th playoff spot instead of the Big 12's TCU or Baylor has avaporated after the Buckeyes drove Oregon nuts.
