Buckeyes vs. Purdue !!!!

NOTHING more needs to be said!!!!!

Buckeyes vs. Minnesota - October 13

Last Friday afternoon on our drive to Columbus we stopped at a new brewery (for us) called Laxton Hollow Brewing Works. They pride themselves in being Ohio's only exclusive "real ale" brewery. They are a small-batch nano brewery that brews cask ale beers.

Before checking into our hotel, we stopped on campus and watched the girls volleyball team vs. Michigan. We watched 5 good matches with Michigan finally winning 3-2. 

Saturday morning, we headed down to campus around 9:00. The weather was in the 40's, but later the sun came out and it went into the 50"s. 

We then met up with Debbie and Jodi and went over to Riverwatch and then to the Varsity Club. We stopped by "Hineygate" (what used to be Hineygate!!!) and took a couple of pictures. 

At "Hineygate"...

At Riverwatch...

At Varsity Club ...

Although the Buckeyes won the game, their offensive line (running game never developed) and their defensive backs (several long gains given up) did not look good. 

FUN weekend, but NOT so good football game!!!

Buckeyes vs. Indiana - October 6

On the way to Columbus Friday evening, Pete and I stopped at Cambridge, Ohio for a newly found brewery, Southside Brewing Company. It's located along side Georgetown Vineyards. We met Tom, Pete's son Joe's father in law there. Beautiful scenery, good beer and pizza, and good company.

When we arrived in Columbus Friday night we received a text, caught an Uber and met Jeff and Sharon at the local Italian Festival.  Wow, nice warm evening, so a great crowd. We even ran into Bill and Bill Sperlazza and shared a cannoli with them.

Saturday morning we met Jeff and Sharon at the North Market for a pastry and a beer at 10 a.m. We later drove down to campus around noon. Game time temperature was 86 degrees!! Not bad for October.

Bill and Bill Sperlazza, Gabe and Luke, and Greg Faunda and his son stopped by and had a beer with us at the Northwest Parking Deck, where we park each week.

After a good victory, Pete and I went to Champs for a sandwich and a beer.

ANOTHER Great Weekend!!!

Buckeyes vs. Penn State September 29

Pete and I did not travel to the Penn State game. Instead several of us met at "Coaches" in Austintown to watch the game.

GREAT, INCREDIBLE third quarter scoring resulted in a win for the Buckeyes.

Following the game, Pete, Larry, Bill and I stopped over at Don's house for a victory drink.
