Weekend Wrap Up: "Cool"umbus Edition

Got back last night from Columbus and the (surprisingly) laid back Buckeye Gameday atmosphere. Not sure if the OSU faithful are getting spoiled/less drunk/or more "vagi-sized" but I was expecting a lot more phsyical and verbal admonishment. Aside from one churlish "Wisconsin Sucks!" thrown at us from a passing car after the game and blocks away from campus we heard and witnessed none of the much ballyhooed Ohio State venom. Columbus: Step yr game up.

The game itself was remarkably close for the first 2.5 quarters and once Wisconsin had gone up 17-10 in the third, the Horseshoe was eerily silent for a stadium that houses 100,000+. However, after that brief, and oh, so, fleeing moment of temporary triumph for Wisconsin, OSU got serious and buried the Badgers in an avalanche of Beanie Wells run plays and waited for UW to shit away the game on offense thanks to Tyler Donovan.

Badger Defenders: A part of any freak of nature's well-balanced diet.

Columbus, itself, was a spectacularly pleasant and intoxicating experience and as usual the culprits for both the pleasantries and libations were the three-headed monster of Dave, Laura and Kim. Thanks to all of you.
