New Orleans Get Ready for the Buckeyes

It's official! Ohio State will play LSU on Jan. 7 in the National Championship football game. Who would have thought? Too bad Emily and I are flying back from Las Vegas that morning or it would be an awesome road trip. I wonder if we can "accidentally" miss our connection in Atlanta.

Go Buckeyes!!!

PS: Chel tell Brad to tell the team thanks. I guess I need to send not only the Sooners some cookies but West Virginia as well. Good luck in Arizona!!

Yes, Yes, Yes I do

I got spirit, how about you?

Go BUCKEYES!!!

O-H-I-O

It's gameday!!!

GO BUCKEYES!!!!
