Ohio State vs. UAB - The Buckeyes are 4-0

Anyone that reads this knows that I love to Quilt and the Ohio State Buckeyes!!!  As an Alumni I'm able to attempt to get a pair of tickets to the Ohio Stadium(The Shoe) each year. 
 
We traveled to Radnor, Ohio last night to stay with my girlfriend Claire.  Her oldest daughter Morgan was generous enough to give up her bed for Jim and I.
 
We arrived at campus at about 9 a.m. and were fortunate to park close to the walk over bridge that at the south end of the stadium. 
 
We decided to attend The Skull session at St. John arena.  The Best Damn Band in The Land(TBDBITL) was celebrating 44 years of their alumni club.  There were over 600 alumni band members and at least one of them was 94 years old!!!
 
 
It was great listening to both the active band and the alumni band perform.
 
After the skull session we headed over to The Shoe to grab a hotdog and some drinks.
 
 
This year Jim and I had pretty good seats.  6A Row 23 closed end of the stadium.  We ending up sitting next to some friend we hadn't seen in awhile and my friend Amy was one row down.
 
The game got off to a slow start, but they did manage to cause a fumble when I was down going to the restroom!!
 
I returned in time for the half time show.
 
 
It sure was impressive seeing close to 800 people marching on the field.
 
 
 
SCRIPT Ohio is always fantastic, but seeing 4 of them done at the same time was truly awesome.
 
The guys did manage to win the game, Jim and I got sunburnt and we drove home in the rain!!  What an awesome day!!

I Won the Ohio State Football lottery!!! Purdue tickets!!!


As an OSU Alumni I can order tickets in May and wait to see if I actually get selected to attend a game.  Last night I found out I have purchased 2 tickets to the Ohio State vs. Purdue game on Saturday, October 23rd.  Usually alumni get the non conference games early in the season, but every once in while we get lucky and get a Big Ten game. 


College football tickets are not cheap, they are $74 a piece!!  Yes, you are right $148 would buy quite a bit of quilting fabric!!  But the opportunity to see The Best Damn Band in the Land and the Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium once a year is worth it!!


 This week I will be selecting quilt tops to take to Columbus to have quilted!!  I have a number to pick from, including a few Scarlet and Gray ones!!!
