A PERFECT DAY IN PNW BUCKEYE NATION

That's right sports fans, yesterday was a perfect day for PNW Buckeye Nation as The Ohio State University Buckeyes did a Dog Whisperer "Tssst" to the Huskies at UW Stadium. And this PNW Buckeye, Ms. PNW Buckeye, Marin County Buckeye and AL, adopted Buckeye for the day, were there to see it all.

First up was the Buckeye Alumni Tailgate Party where we had the pleasure of hanging out with Brutus Buckeye himself.

Next up for PNW Buckeye Nation was the chance to get an autograph with Buckeye legend Archie Griffin, still the only college football player to win TWO Heisman Trophies.

Even former Ohio State quarterback turned FBI agent/ surfer Jonny Utah made it out for the tailgate party and the game.

Now, I would be lying if I said I was not nervous coming into the game. OSU lost most of their offensive firepower from last year to the NFL draft. They came into UW with 2 victories but they were against some not-such-football-powerhouse teams. UW was coming off of victories over Stanford and Boise State and had a new wunderkind freshman quarterback, Jake Locker. Locker looked good too in the first half and went into half-time with a 7-3 lead over the Buckeyes. But, some half-time adjustments were made by Coach Tressel and the Huskies definitely had reason to fear the sweater vest as they saw their 7-3 halftime lead evaporate in the span of 39 seconds in the third quarter as the Buckeyes scored two unanswered touchdowns.

This became a common sight in the second half. Good thing Brutus was doing those two-a-days with the team this summer because sprinting across that Huskie name in the end zone and waving that giant block-O flag could get pretty tiring.

As you can see, a good time was had by all in PNW Buckeye Nation.
