In 2012, my helmet-stripe underpants — picked by you guys — served me very well.
And that’s why I’m asking for your help again this year.
As you may recall, a year ago I asked for your help with picking out the boxer shorts I wear for each Saturday during the season, a habit I choose to refer to as a “tradition” rather than a “superstition.” And going with the pick you guys made, Ohio State ran through an undefeated season.
And maybe those helmet-stripe boxers are a good place to start. Do they have another 12 straight wins in them? Or 13? Or even 14? Or did I use up all of their luck in 2012?
I’m counting on you guys to come up with those answers.
Your contenders:
Helmet stripe.
Bright red plaid.
Gray.
Gray pattern.
Block O.
Not-as-bright red plaid.
And here’s the deal: I’ll have all six pairs with me in Columbus this weekend. Once I finish loading the truck — probably about 6:30 Saturday morning, if all goes as planned — I’ll check the vote totals. The leader at that point will be the pick for the season.
Thank you once again for your support.
