With the passing of each year, each and every Buckeye game day has taken on the feel of a holiday. However, the feeling one gets on this particular day...game day when it's the first game of the year.....is exactly like the feeling on Christmas morning.
The joy I get watching my sons (ages 9 and 12) on Christmas morning is quite special. The joy I got this morning when my 9 year old got up and asked, "Do you have the flag flying yet Dad?" followed by my 12 year old asking the exact same question when he woke up a half hour later, well that is priceless. (It also affirmed that we are raising them right!).
The boys have TBDBITL blaring on the stereo; they are getting their OSU gear on; there is no greater feeling in the world than sharing this special day with 2 future Buckeyes!! Except of course when I have them in the Shoe experiencing the best atmosphere for a football game in the country!
