This past Saturday was the famous Michigan versus Ohio State
football matchup. Once I got out of work on Wednesday, I headed up to Liberty
Center, Ohio where I was spending the remainder of my break with my boyfriend
and his family. Every game day, his family invites many of their friends over
and they all watch the game. Every game day, there is also more food there than
what is needed.
The game didn’t start until noon, but we were all up and
moving by 8:30 a.m. Tyler had to get ready for work, while his parents and I
got ready for people to start arriving around 11:30 a.m. Of course, I had to
wear red this day and get the ever famous photo with the blow up Brutus. This
day and game, is the only one every year, where I will wear red and say Go
Bucks!
This game was definitely one for the books as it didn’t just
go into overtime, but into double overtime. The tension inside the house could
be felt, as no one could believe this was happening. The tension really started
to sink in when Ohio State’s field goal kicker missed not one, but two field
goal attempts. In the end the Buckeye’s pulled off the victory. They now needed
to wait for the Michigan State versus Penn State game to be over because they
needed a Spartan victory in order to be Big Ten East champions.
In the end, Michigan State wasn’t able to pull off the
victory, so Penn State will be taking on Wisconsin for the Big Ten Championship
in Indianapolis on Saturday. Overall, having to be a Buckeye fan for the
weekend wasn’t too bad, especially when I get to see the University of Michigan
and Jim Harbaugh lose.
