O-H-I-O

It's that time of year again sports fans. The last week of August generally brings the start of a new school year. With that comes football friday night for most high schools. The CWHS Indians are off to a good start with a record of 2-0. But this weekend is special. It marks the beginning of the college football season. And with that another season of Buckeye Football. everyone has their favorite team. I root for my alma mater. But they don't even compare to The Ohio State Buckeyes. Anyone and everyone in the state of Ohio roots for the Scarlet and Grey. There is nothing like a Saturday afternoon watching an Ohio State game. This is the only sport I watch on tv. I am not really into the NFL. I'll watch an occasional baseball game or even a basketball game. But on Saturdays I am tuned in to my Buckeyes. Living in a suburb of Columbus makes it even better. I attended my first Ohio State Game last season with a friend of mine. It was awesome. I didn't even care that it was raining. I am hoping to sponge off of my friend's staff tickets again this year. I have also had the priviledge of meeting the head coach. He spoke at graduation a few years ago. Ohio state fans are unique. Whereever you go, if someone sees an ohio state shirt or hat and they hollar "O-H" you are generally going to hear someone else respond "I-O". It's just a Buckeye thing. Yes, I know that we have blown it the last 2 years in the championship game. But you know what they say. Third times the charm. We've got alot of football to play but I have faith in my boys. They are currently leading 19-0. It looks to be a great season of buckeye football.

:-( The demand for tix was too high this year and I didn't get them. I'll be watching on tv like everyone else.
