So, I was walking down the street yesterday afternoon and I noticed a group of guys dressed in all red Buckeye jumpsuits. Since I had seen several fans walking around town the last few days, I didn't think much of it except for getting excited that more fans were around. But then, I noticed that the guys were fairly young...and really big. As I looked around, I noticed several small groups of guys in similar apparel walking all over the city square I was in. "These are no ordinary fans," I thought to myself. "These are the actual Buckeyes!"
Being the fan that I am, and well, just a generally personal and gregarious man, I walked over to one group and said, "It's great to have you guys here!"
"Yeah, thanks man," responded one player in a very bored, monotonous tone. "Our hotel is right over there and coach is letting us look around the city for a few hours."
I told him I just moved here, and I loved having the Buckeye world come to Pac 10 country. He asked if I was from Columbus. I told him I grew up there. I asked if they were feeling good about the game.
He said, "yeah." Again in the same bored, monotonous tone. This guy was hilarious.
After basking in the presence of greatness for a few moments, I walked home.
13 hours 40 minutes and counting...
Hopefully, they'll make me proud.

GO BUCKS!!
Did you get to go to the game?
What a great one--I was in a $2.00 pool and won $10.00 in the last few seconds of the game. I had #7.
The picture on the front page today shows #80 running for a TD and a Husky is running after him.
The caption said "Leaving a Husky Behind." (Quite fitting, don't you think)?
Gotta go--it is 1:00a.m.
Love you.
Grandma.
