My visit to Ohio Stadium

I have a friend here in Ohio who has season tickets to, ahem, The Ohio State University Buckeyes (I got sick of that pretentiousness within my first few weeks here) this past Saturday to see them whup Purdue (who couldn't have beaten a good high school team in Georgia). My wife and I were having a celebratory dinner Friday night (she passed her board exams last week) and we were walking past a sports clothing and memorabilia store that was full of tOSU gear and I asked her, "Should I get an Ohio State jersey to wear to the game tomorrow?" She stepped back, turned to me wild-eyed and with a growl in her voice said, "You will not betray Uga!" End of conversation.

Hello fellow Dawgs!

That is a good one. I am sure you are please she passed the test because it had to be a test. I know you were not seriously considering wearing an OSU jersey.

She did well.

Yeah, I just wanted to see what she would say... and she said, in essence, "Woof!"

I remember going to a game at the horseshoe back in the late to mid 90s before they renovated. We sat in the bleachers behind the endzone. Good times. Hiney gate was fun. Drank too much and realized that tOSU atmosphere felt kind of like a bizzaro Georgia with all the silver, red and black everywhere.

The horseshoe was pretty impressive, but it wasn't a fraction as loud as Sanford... not even close.
