OSU vs. Hawaii

Our first home game was against Hawaii. Pete and I enjoyed a great weekend.
On Friday evening we connected with the Duke and Duchess of the Short North (Jeff and Sharon) and went to the North Market Beerfest. A little rain... but a good time!!

After the Beerfest, Dave went to the Flat Iron for a nightcap. While there he met up with a great group of guys from Hawaii. After sharing a couple of beers, the four of us went back and had a beer with Pete.

On game day, we took Eddie, Mel and Darryl with us to campus and to the game. While on campus they introduced us to the Chancellor of the University of Hawaii.
