Okay, so today I decided to dive back into the 2011 OSU football season. It’s been a while, and I figured it’d be fun to relive some of those memories, good and bad.
First, I scoured the internet for some old game footage. I wanted to find full games, not just highlights, so I could really get a feel for how the season unfolded. It took some digging, I spent hours searching and browsing related old forums, but eventually, I stumbled upon a few decent archives.
Re-watching The Games
I started with the season opener against Akron. Honestly, I remembered it being a pretty straightforward win, and watching it again confirmed that. Nothing too spectacular, but it was a solid start. We crushed those guys easily!
Then, I moved on to the Miami game. That one… that one still stings a little. It’s a game we should’ve won, no question. Watching the key mistakes again was frustrating, to say the least.I saw too many errors.
- I watched the Colorado game.
- I skipped the middle part.
- I focused on the last few minutes.
I continued working my way through the season, game by game. Some were exciting, some were nail-biters, and some were just plain painful to watch again. It was a real rollercoaster of emotions, just like I remembered.
Key Moments and Players
Re-watching all this, it really highlighted how important certain players were. Braxton Miller, even as a freshman, showed flashes of brilliance. I’d forgotten how electric he could be. And, of course, there were the upperclassmen who provided leadership and stability.
It got me thinking about it for a while, and the more I thought, the more I realized it.
The Overall Feeling
It’s funny how revisiting something like this can bring back so many feelings. It’s not just about the wins and losses; it’s about the whole experience of being a fan. The excitement, the frustration, the camaraderie, the hope… it all comes flooding back.
Ultimately, re-experiencing the 2011 OSU football season was a worthwhile trip down memory lane. It was a mixed bag of a season, for sure, but it was our season. And that’s what makes it special, even all these years later. That’s it, the 2011 season had been thoroughly relived by me, and I enjoyed it.
