College Football OSU vs. Texas

[thyme_4_me]

OK who's into college football? Because I am!
There is one big game this weekend be sure not to miss. Texas vs. Ohio State. It should be a good one.

GO BUCKS!

*now I'm just waiting to hear from our resident Texas fan. Oh Amber?

[Kristen]

Aaahhh - wrong OSU! I was thinking Oklahoma (which proves I'm not into college football or I'd know - without looking it up - that they don't play Texas until Oct!)

But I'm enough of a Sooner fan to get behind Beat Texas! Go Bucks!!!

[Margie]

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah! we're ready for it here! buckeye necklaces, hats, shirts, at the ready. even buckeye casserole! poor amber will be at the game! so be sure to watch for her sad, sad face as her beloved texas loses!!! :D she'll be the one wearing orange. :)

[LisasMom]

I'm not into college football but I AM A BUCKEYE!!! And my kids' closets are full of OSU clothes, hoodies, jackets, etc. My son wants to go to school there. I personally went to BGSU but would love for him to go to OSU! BTW, where's the recipe for the buckeye casserole?!?! Love to see that!!

GO BUCKS! GO BUCKS! GO BUCKS! GO BUCKS! GO BUCKS! GO BUCKS!

--Vicki, up on the lake looking south towards the game!

[Allen]

Sing with me...

Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise
And songs to Alma Mater raise
While our hearts rebounding thrill
With joy which death alone can still
Summer's heat or winter's cold
The seasons pass the years will roll
Time and change will surely show
How firm thy friendship ... OHIO!

GO BUCKS!!!

[LisasMom]

I don't want to sound disloyal at all -- I am an Ohio girl born and raised; but I did live in Austin for a couple years when Roger Clemens went to school there. I LOVED that guy!! Him and his buddy, Calvin Schiraldi (don't know whatever became of him after his fabulous save for Boston!?!?!). Anyway, I did go to all their home baseball games and I don't usually mind admitting my age when I can refer to knowing him then! --Vicki (Allen, I like your GO BUCKS!!! better than mine!)

[Allen]

BTW, where's the recipe for the buckeye casserole?!?! Love to see that!!

This is actually my own recipe. We fix it every Saturday for the game and it's always a big hit.
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 large chicken breasts cooked and diced
1 can refried beans
1/2 jar salsa
Mix the above in a large bowl.
In a casserole dish, put a thin layer of tortilla chips
Pour a layer of the above mixture over chips and spread with shredded mozerella cheese
Layer chips again
Layer mixture and cheese again
Layer chips and cheese on top and bake @425 for 20 minutes

Bon Appetit

Oh Allen, that song just makes gives me get gooseflesh and tears swell up in my eyes. I LOVE that song. (Can you tell I'm a diehard?) LOVE your avatar too Allen, that fire hydrant just cracks me up. I've GOT to have one of those. And I need it before the game. We're going to a big party tomorrow night. I can put it outside for all the men. LOL. Hey why don't men ever use the perfectly good indoor johns?
Great Avatar too Margie. I think tomorrow we three should smother the boards with our avatars! Thanks for the recipe, sounds yummy!

[Tina]

k, not a football fan these days (used to be), but y'all know that I am required by law as a resident of the great state of Ohio to strap on my megaphone and shout from the rooftops


"GO BUCKS!"


Sorry everyone, i told you I was required by law.............. ;) Football fan or not, in Ohio our blood runs scarlet AND gray......

[Tina]

pssst....... Allen, Kris or Margie... lemme know when they win ;)

[Margie]

has anyone seen amber on college game day yet? watch for her and peter, they'll be looking all happy before the game. not afterwards tho! :D

[MommySpice]

I LOVE college football. Growing up in Big XII country (actually it was Big 8 when I grew up and Texas wasn't apart of it then), I must root for the Big XII team. Hook 'em Horns! Although, I will say this...I'm not a fan of Texas football any other time. :) And my Big XII football team stinks...but they're good at basketball! *lol* Rock Chalk Jayhawk baby! March is only 6 months away...

My TRUE love for college football would be Notre Dame. Yep...can't go for OSU, sorry!

[thyme_4_me]

I can hear you Tina!!!! Ok, so I've taken my nap today and I'm ready for some late night action. I haven't watched TV or game day yet otherwise I'll be too pumped. I've got to mentally prepare......to go crazy!

GO BUCKS

[Margie]

oh man kris! we're just glued here all day. we're in for the long haul! we did manage a soccer game this morning, but that almost cut into the beginning of game day! :D

[omio]

Hey, it's a little like family fighting -- sometimes there are strange alliances. ;)

Buckeyes, this Sooner family is all for ya today!!!!!! :D

[omio]

My TRUE love for college football would be Notre Dame.

Oh, MommySpice -- and you seemed like such a NICE girl!!!! :(

I was at the movies on the Saturday that Notre Dame broke Bud Wilkinson's OU winning streak. It was a kiddie movie, and they stopped the film, turned on the lights, and announced the loss. There were sobs in the theater. Made a big impression on my young brain. :eek:

Seriously, during Wilkinson's time, the score was announced periodically in any store/place in Oklahoma that had a PA system. The preceding story was absolutely true .... well, maybe the sobbing part was a bit exaggerated. ;) :D

P.S. For anyone who's never lived in a college-football-crazy state, my high school team used to fill a 2,000 seat stadium on Friday nights!

P.P.S. And, when we lived in Kentucky, we saw the basketball version of state-wide insanity. :p

[thyme_4_me]

We're recruiting fans, yeah!!! The more the merrier. We had soccer today too Margie. And then a birthday party. Now prepping for OSU party wear.

Since we're going down memory lane......My very first game my father took me and we sat up at the top of the stadium with the cops. As the game progressed there was a player that stood out above them all. He had extraordinary talent. I remember my father grabbing the binoculars from me to take a look at the player more closely. He kept saying, "Who is this guy, he's great!" Looking over the program we found his name. A freshman. I remember hearing his name announced alot that day. And several years following. Archie Griffin.

[Tina]

Kris, I nicked your avatar- for today!

[Margie]

wow, archie! he came to allen's work a few years ago!! they were printing the osu alumni magazine. they got it all clean and dressed up and all that, but not allen. he decked his whole office in osu stuff, (already was really) but he brought our welcome mat and hung stuff everywhere. archie walked by and stopped and checked it out! then he signed allen's griffin jersey! we have a pic of him signing it too, so fun! :)
btw, fumble!!!!!!!!!

[Margie]

whoo hooo!!!!!

what a game! man are we in for a great season or what?! go bucks!!!

[thyme_4_me]

GO BUCKS!

We messed with Texas and we're still Number #1 baby!

[omio]

Congrats, Buckeyes -- your team looked like champions. ;-}

[txmusicmom]

OK Margie...........you deserve to toot your horn! I missed the game. I hardly EVER pull for UT although I do when they play Oklahoma~ I guess I was being a bit loyal to Texas........I do have brother and sister in law in Ohio-- Ok I can root for yoU!

I LOVE YOUR FLAG...........that is TOO CUTE!

OH by the way.........just watch out for those BAYLOR BEARS!
( OK--now that all of you have pulled yourself OFF the floor-- can't blame a girl for wishing) ;) ;) ;)

Congrats-- Glad we have HAPPY campers here!

Donna

I hardly EVER pull for UT although I do when they play Oklahoma~

Oh, Donna -- and you seemed like such a NICE girl!!!! :(

Crud, I just can't get motivated to really hassle you guys -- I mean, I'm passing up a Baylor Bears' joke here. ;) Now maybe if the Sooners had looked better on tv the last couple of weeks...... :D

[omio]

Aaahhh - wrong OSU! I was thinking Oklahoma...

My side of the family is all OU but my grandchildren proudly wear Eskimo Joe t-shirts sent by my cousin. :D

[Tina]
