November 18!!!!

Well, the Buckeye 4 headed to Columbus for The Game...we arrived at 7:45 a.m. and our "normal" parking lot was already "Full"! We eventually found our way to Hineygate where The Danger Brothers started playing at 11:00 a.m. (4 1/2 hours before game time!!) Hineygate was taken to a level that we normally don't see in most post game celebrations...it was one fun and crazy atmosphere...


We had fun at Hineygate ...HOWEVER... only one of us was in the Horseshoe to see the game...with ticket prices and availability the way it was...three of us (and I hate to admit this!!)ended up driving back to our hotel to watch the game. (One of us, went kicking and screaming...really wishing to stay and watch the game with some of the other 100,000 fans who had no tickets but were going to stay and watch it somewhere on campus)

Two outstanding runs by Beanie Wells and Antonio Pittman were instrumental in the outcome.

Ohio State vs. Minnesota - October 28

We attended the Minnesota football game this weekend. Pete, Joe, Jeff and I attended the game. The weather was OK - cold and very windy, but at least no rain.

The final score was OSU 44 and Minnesota 0. Another great game for the 105,443 buckeye fans who were there to cheer on their 'buckeyes".

We had the pleasure of observing a special event at half time. Jack Nicklaus was invited to "dot the I" of the script Ohio. Some of the other non-band members who have been asked in the past to "dot the I" include Bob Hope, Woody Hayes, Buster Douglas and OSU President Gordon Gee.

Again this week, we had rooms at Hineygate. These pictures show the crowd for the Danger Brothers from our hotel room window.





Here, from my seat in Section 5, I watch Chris Wells run in for a touchdown from 12 yds. out in the fourth quarter. Go Bucks!!

Ohio State vs. Penn State - September 23

"The Buckeye Four" attended the Penn State game AND had a room at the Holiday Inn "Hineygate". These rooms are reserved literally a year in advance.
We are not getting younger...BUT...we are still having fun. This is a view from our hotel window looking down at the "few" who are rocking to the Danger Brothers !!








Here is Dave, Joe and George out in front of the stadium just prior to the game.












And here are "the guys", along with Lisa, "the cigar lady". Each week we are at the games we need to find Lisa for her to hook us up with a cigar recommendation. She and her husband Jenaro operate the cigar stand just outside the Holiday Inn entrance. A great lady!!

105,266 Buckeye fans watched Brian Robiskie pull in the fourth quarter TD pass. Ohio State now lead 14-3. Two interceptions for TD's in the fourth quarter resulted in Ohio State winning the game 28-6 !!

Are these guys having fun, or what!!!!!

But thanks to Howie, and a 6:30 a.m. drive to Mansfield, we had the game tickets for game time...Thanks How!

Ohio State vs. Cincinnati - September 9

Through the efforts of our friend Randy, six of us were able to attend the OSU / Cinncinnati game.

Unfortunately, none of us had our camera with us, so this posting has no pictures.
Let it be said that a good time was had by all - and the weekend included Goldschlager, beer, tailgating food, Buca de Bepo's and good company!!

The final score was Ohio State 37 and Cincinnati 7

Ohio State vs. Northern Illinois - Sept. 2

*** GREAT STUFF ***

NCAA Regional Tournament - March, 2006

In March, 2006, several of the guys made the trip to Atlanta for the Regional NCAA Tournament. We were able to see three great games. We saw LSU beat Duke by the score of 62-54, Texas beat West Virginia by the score of 74-71 and then LSU beat Texas by the score of 70-60. The first two games especially were exciting and dramatic. I took the picture above from where we were seated. Thanks to "Little Joe" we had some pretty good seats.

While in Atlanta, we were also able to do some sightseeing. One of the highlights of the trip was the group of us taking a 3 hour tour of Atlanta on Segways!
