What a tremendous confluence of events for Ohio State fans last night.
Their basketball team hammered Duke, 85-63, the perfect backdrop for celebrating Urban Meyer's hiring to resurrect the football program.
And in addition to chanting "overrated" at Mike Krzyzewski's team they also got to boo LeBron James .
LeBron was at courtside underneath the basket with Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade , and was the target of what the Cleveland Plain Dealer described as "hearty boos" as he headed for his seat.
Having heard it all before in the home state that will never forgive him for abandoning the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron shrugged off the jeers.
"I'm here to support the team," he told the Plain Dealer . "Fans are going to be fans, and I understand that. But this is all about Ohio State basketball, it's not about LeBron James at all."
