Berto's Pre-Surfing Workout For Lon

Guest Writer Galante: The OODD Antipodean
- While I am not a spiritual person, I sometimes believe in a universal system of karma. After all, when you win, there has to be at least one loser. And when you win big, there has to be a big loser.
So after last weekend's OODD (Ohio Obliteration Domination Day), it only made sense that there was someone out there on the receiving end of all the punishment that Ohio handed out.
That somebody's
