It's Here!


College football is back! The Buckeyes had an easy win over Youngstown State on Saturday. The only negative was the injury to the Heisman Trophy favorite (according to most experts), Beanie Wells. More information on his injury should be out later today. The team probably doesn't need him this week, but will next week against USC. We have an alumni event this Saturday and will be at the game that day against Ohio U. With a win, Ohio State will become only the 5th team in the history of college football with 800 wins (and we'll be there to witness it!). In my 10 years as a Buckeye fan, the team has:
  • 1 national championship (2002)
  • finished 2nd in the nation twice (1998 & 2006) and 4th twice (2003 & 2007)
  • been to 9 bowl games, including 6 BCS games
  • beaten the "M" school 7 times
It's been a great 10 years and I'm looking forward to many more great seasons. The team is ranked 2nd or 3rd in the nation (depending on which poll you use) and is picked to be the 1st team in Big 10 history to win 3 consecutive outright conference championships. It's great to be a Buckeye fan!
