Living in Boston means that following Buckeye football is a choice. I seek out websites, news stories and hound family and friends back in Ohio to give me the lastest gossip on the team. Those in Columbus follow the team whether they want to or not...the town lives and breathes scarlet and grey and there's no getting away from it. Most of the games aren't even on tv out here, but that doesn't stop me. Brian came up with this really cool way to buy the broadcast over the internet, then pump the video feed from our laptop onto our tv. This way we get to see just about all the games.

This year is shaping up to be really exciting. After watching last week's game against Miami of Ohio, I was delighted to see the Buckeyes have a strong defense. I can't tell you the number of times over the years I have seen the defense win the game for us. Then there is the tride and true running game which got off to a good start. And the icing on the cake is having Teddy Ginn, Jr. as a receiver and punt returner. This kid is fast, talented and oh so fun to watch. It should be a thrilling season!

Diane has pointed out to me that having a #7 Buckeye jersery has really paid off. She bought it when Germaine was the proud owner. But then there was Gamble who graced us with incredible talent. And now Teddy is showing off his ability. The number must be lucky!
