Just remember to really stay present and savor every moment.

These next few months always pass like lightning. Blink, and the discussion will be about New Year's Eve plans and bowl games.

Tell me about it. My first real memory of Buckeye football is listening to the Snow Bowl game. My best friend and neighbor, Bill McKelvey, and his family took the train from Dayton to Columbus on Friday to be at the game.

Till then I was unaware of college football. What was so big about a game between Ohio State and Michigan? I listened as I watched the snow continue to fall, and fall and fall. Football in the snow sounded pretty neat to a then 7 year old.

The McKelvey's didn't get home until Wednesday! Bill had great stories about how long it took them to get back to their room at the Deshler - buses and cabs had stopped running, how the train station was packed and the B&O didn't have a snow plow car anywhere near to cleasr the tracks.

Just a few years ago, when the book, Script Ohio came out I discovered that Bill's father, Myron McKelvey, was the first drum major to lead TBDBITL through Script Ohio.

My sister would enter OSU IN 1953 in the then 2 year Dental Hygiene program. Her first trip home she taught me to sing I don't Give a Damn for the Whole State of Michigan. I've been a fan ever since.

It's good to be a Buckeye!

Great memories, Cinci. I've got lots like that (my brother was in TBDBITL), but the standout for me was the 2006 scUM game. What a game. But.....this is a great time to be a Buckeye. :oh:

Deja Vu all over again. Back to when Time Warner wouldn't carry BTN, so the OSU games suddenly weren't available to subscribers. Darn everybody who just has to get their fingers into the pie until it's inedible.

PS For those in Columbus, the Arena Grand Theater in the Hockey District used to air OSU games on their big screen for free--probably still do. Food & drinks--alcohol & non--available there, too. I used to do that during the BTN black-out era. (Which, gloriously, was the reason I was able to see the end of the tsun-Appy State game. I'll always love that theater.)

went to a damon's to watch that OSU game on the big ten network. ate a lunch and a dinner on the same tab. was great watching the appy state win too.

kind of like when kennedy was killed and everyone knows where they were when it happened, every buckeye fan knows where they were at when we saw them lose to Appalachian State. same thing with the 2002 fiesta bowl too, amazing i remember any of it with all the beers and shots we had but to this day i remember every bit of that party, it was fantastic.
