Holy, Bobcats!
A monumentous thing has happened on the campus of Ohio University ...
We won a huge football game. < OHIO 16 , PITT 10 >
Imagine 25,000 people cramming into Peden stadium wearing not only their Ohio Bobcat t-shirts, but also painting faces and bodies as they bang their thundersticks and wave their Bobcat towels. Nationally ranked Pittsburg didn't know what hit'em. It was a sight to see ...and remember. In my four years here at Ohio University, I have never seen such a turn out to any athletic event that Ohio has had to offer. A lot can be attributed to the famous Frank Solich and the dream given to Ohio University at his hiring. Maybe it could be because of the new athletic director or OU President, both of whom have been pushing for better athletics, fan support and community involvement. It could be a number of things, really. But all I know is I've never had so much fun at a football game.
D Lowe would have been proud of his Bobcats.
On a more sad note, we lost to Michigan just hours before the football game. It's still a touchy subject. But the brightside is that we played some of the best soccer yet. Unfortunately, we didn't play that soccer for 90 minutes. It was more like a rough 36 mins. The worst, though, is wondering what happened after the game - "did we seriously just play" - "where did all the time go?" - "it feels like a bad dream" - things of that nature.
But the graffiti wall looked good.
I'm doing good. I'm enjoying the weekend so far. I've done nothing. We don't have any practice this Saturday or Sunday, which is nice. I'm going to be able to relax, watch some football, hang out with friends and go to church. I'm really excited about church since I haven't been since last Spring. Central here I come. I'm also excited because I get to hang out with Dave on Sunday as a few of us are going hiking. That will be a nice change of scenery and a relaxing way to close out the weekend.
Anyways, I'm off to do some homework. Sweet.
