Are you ready for some real college football? Wow, what can you say about today’s game that’s not already been said? One of the biggest rivalries in football playing out for a trip to the National Championship. Add in the death of Bo Schembechler, and you’ve got a game that means even more. The Horseshoe will be rocking today. It’s going to be a wild ride. Kickoff is at 3:30pm and all of Ohio will be watching and cheering on the Scarlet and Gray. Cleveland has even shutdown West 6th street for a huge tailgating party. Go Buckeyes!! This is the year, there is no next year. Beat Michigan!

Fun time at the Cavs game and they won too. LBJ had some great shots tonight! I don’t know who the guy in the foreground is… He seems to be enjoying his beverage!!

It’s hard to see him on this shot because I’m zooming in so much with my camera but the dude’s got a fauxhawk and that’s just dang funny! The guy who cuts my hair says I have the perfect hairstyle for one. What do you think, should I sport one?

Okay, no matter where you are in the U.S. today, get out and exercise your right to vote. If you do, you can say you took part in democracy. If you don’t, then don’t complain about the outcome of the Election. I’m not going to tell you what to think, cast your ballot on your beliefs. If you like smoking, vote pro smoking. If you want people to not smoke in public places, then do so. If you are Democrat, vote that way. If you’re Republican, vote that way. I hope by now, you’re getting the drift of my post.

No matter what people may say, your vote counts, this midterm election is a very important one around the country. It is, especially, important in many swing states. It could mean a shift in the balance of power in Washington, D.C. This election is very important no matter which party you belong to.

Also, I hope this election is over without all of the problems of past elections.

VOTE!!

Ohio State rolled past Illinois. Nope, it wasn’t the thrashing from last week at Minnesota but as Jim Tressel says it’s a win and we’ll take it.

The countdown to Michigan on November 18th continues. It will be the game of games. Stay tuned sports fans.
And are you ready for your Cleveland Cavaliers? Oh yeah, if there’s a season the wine and the gold has a chance, it’s this year. LeBron and the boys are back and they’re thinking Championship, not just playoffs this time. Oh, the coverage! Look out! I’m going out with a bunch of people tonight to watch the game at a local BW-3’s. It should be fun. Okay, side note, I am tired of the LeBron hype, nothing personal Mr. James but even you’d have to agree it’s a little crazy. You’re good and everyone knows it. Go out there and play good basketball and win a championship and everyone will BELIEVE!

No. 1 Ohio St. 44, Minnesota 0

That score says it all. OSU’s dominated Minnesota. There were a couple of fumbles {argh!} but even with the mistakes, Minnesota couldn’t get on the board.

Antonio Pittman rushed for touchdown for the Buckeyes. Chris Wells and Justin Zwick also put scores on the board.

Ohio State Alum, Jack Nicklaus, “dotted the “i” in the band’s signature, Script Ohio.

Oh, how everyone is waiting for the regular-season finale pitting OSU against that number 2 team from up north on November 18 at the horseshoe.

GO BUCKEYES!!

If you haven’t watched it, it’s too late! Midnight Money Madness was a call-in show on TBS that recently got cancelled or put on hiatus. It was my late night viewing after I got home from work.

I never called in or tried because it seemed scammy but the hosts on the show are awesome. The always beautiful and charming Jerilee Bonner, the ingenuitive comedic humor of Danny Seckel, and the sporadic warm-heartedness humor of Craig Jackson kept the show going.

The games they played were simple but people actually got them wrong. You can find a Wikipedia entry about the show by clicking here.
