Buckeyes vs. Tulane September 22

On the way to Columbus, Pete and I stopped in Ashland at the Uniontown Brewery. Good beer, good people and we had some good appetizers.

After we left Ashland, we called my cousin Jeff who lives in Powell, Ohio. He suggested we stop over to his house for beer and pizza. We checked into the Hilton Garden Inn in Polaris and then took a ride to Jeff's place. We had a nice visit with Jeff and Linda where we had pizza and a beer or two from a local brewery. (Jeff knows the owner of the brewery. He is the original owner of Barley's Downtown)

The Tulane game was another "blow out" game. It was 42-6 at halftime.

Halftime was pretty cool as the alumni band and the Ohio State band did four script Ohio's on the field. And the highlight was when a 100 year old member of the alumni band dotted the "I".

We had some16 friends stop by the parking deck prior to the game. 

Fun time!!

Runaway game

Buckeyes vs. TCU - Sept. 15

We had the Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet this evening and so did not travel to TCU, although we had considered it. We did go to Coaches Bar in Austintown following the banquet and watched the second half. A great third quarter resulted in a win for the Buckeyes.

Buckeyes vs. Rutgers - September 8 - Victory 52-3

Another good weekend... weather sure didn't cooperate... however, fun weekend... and a Win!!!

On the way to Columbus, we continued our search for Ohio Breweries. Our first stop was at the Canton Brewing Company. We had stopped here in previous years and love the place. Great beer and good people.

Our second stop was at a new brewery for us ... JAFB Brewery in Wooster. Talked to a couple of nice people (both educators) and enjoyed a couple of IPA's (a hazy NE style IPA).

In case you are wondering, we asked, and the letters stand for "Just Another F...king Brewery" ;-)

Again, for the second straight week, the weather was incredibly raining... rained ALL day. Here I am ready to head over to the stadium for the start of the game.

This weeks game had the same results... a blowout victory by the score of 52-3.

ANOTHER good weekend!!!

OSU vs. Oregon State September 1 - Victory 77-31

Pete and I headed to Columbus for our first Buckeye game for 2018.

On the drive down, we first stopped at a brewery that we found on the "Ohio on Tap" app, in Ashland... Uniontown Brewing Company. It's located right downtown and as always we enjoyed the company and the beer selection.

Later Friday night we met Jeff and Sharon at the Greek Festival. Dancing, drinking and some great greek food.

 Saturday we went to the game. The first half the weather was extremely hot (in the 90's) but then at half time the rains came!!! It rained hard enough that the halftime was extended by nearly 1 1/2 hours.

The final score was 77-31 !!!!!
