800

Today, Ohio State became only the 5th school ever to win 800 football games. However, it wasn't as easy as was expected. The team actually trailed going into the 4th quarter, but ended up winning 26-14. I believe the team could have been looking towards next week's game against #1 USC (and even Coach Tressel said the same). The team was flat most of the game. I was never really worried about losing the game, but I definitely wished they had played better.

We had an alumni event before the game, and Briana got to meet the most famous Buckeye player in history, Archie Griffin (the only 2-time Heisman trophy winner). I am going to enlarge this picture and try to get Archie to sign it for her (just like Coach Tressel did this week). I have a former student who works for Archie, so hopefully she can get it signed for me.
Briana got to play in the kid's area before the game:
It is amazing how much support the band receives. Everyone stands will they perform Script Ohio (sorry for the bad angle):
Hopefully, the team will be prepared for next week's game in California. Archie did tell us that Beanie Wells will be ready for that game (a huge relief since he didn't play today). I do think you will see a much more focused Buckeye team against the Trojans. I hope they play well since I'm leaving the next morning for Korea (I really don't want to get on a 14 hour flight in a bad mood).
