Buckeye Fever

We swore it would never happen. Andy I moved to Ohio and saw the obsession (neé MANIA) that is Ohio State football and rolled our eyes a bit. People told us that on gamedays everyone would be decked out in Buckeye attire and that grocery stores would be empty because everyone was home watching the game. The time I went to the store I was surprised to hear the radio commentary being broadcast over the store's loudspeaker so that patrons wouldn't miss a minute of the game.

Fast forward a year and here we are decked out in scarlet and gray (don't call it red) for a party celebrating a friend's acceptance at OSU. We don't own a scrap of Buckeye clothing and had to borrow some to fit the party's dress code. I felt like a fish out of water since I don't know much about the school's proud history or landmarks, but I have to admit that that Buckeye fever is contagious. Ohio Stadium is a sight to behold maybe in a few years we'll be cursing Michigan as well. Personally, I really love Ann Arbor. Sorry to you die-hard OSU fans, give us time. We're not there yet. But perhaps we'll find that resistance is futile.
