BEST Rematch EVER

In case you've been under a rock for the past week, you may not have been aware that Saturday night college football had the #2 (defending national champs) Texas Longhorns hosting thee #1 Ohio State Buckeyes. And what a game it was.

First of all, the hype of such a game guarantees star power: Lance Armstrong, LeBron James, Eddie George, Jack Nicklaus, Emmitt Smith were all there. And, of course, my own personal fave Matthew McConaughey (too bad he roots for Texas)! Sure, the game itself couldn't possibly live up to the original 2005 meeting in which Texas scraped by with a win, but as the clock expired, it was just the result I wanted to see: OSU 24, Texas 7.

This is a great start to what promises to be a winning season for the Buckeyes. As for continuing as #1, let's just hope they can Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy Hang on...O...H...I...O!

(By the way, if you turn up your volume, you'll hear the Best Damn Band in the Land rocking out to Hang on Sloopy...")

    Hi Emily
    Glad to see that you haven't forgotten your midwest roots -- when we mentioned Ohio State/Michigan to Kevin's friends in Colorado they were clueless.

    Yes, I love the Hoosiers as well...but Indiana is definitely a basketball school. As for college football, I go back to my birthplace and root for the Buckeyes (unless they're playing Indiana, of course). And it just so happens that Kimmmm (my roommate) roots for the Buckeyes as well.

    It's just another reason for us to cheer for the Big Ten out here in ACC country.
