Field Hockey

It was a beautiful day to take in a field hockey game behind the WHAC. (Obviously we were a little late on posting this blog... We watched the October 14th game.) Unfortunately the rank dumpster you had to walk by to get there was quite a drawback. Maybe if the contents of the dumpster were disposed of more frequently the crowds at the field hockey games would be larger. OSU, you may want to take note of that if you are trying to increase the fan base.

The Lady Bucks played a tough game against the Iowa Hawkeyes but succumbed in the end in a 2-1 loss. The end was rowdy and rough and sticks were flying.

We must admit we were a little confused by what exactly the rules were but held great respect for the beating that a field hockey player's body must endure. Hopefully they have a full time chiropracter on retainer to account for the fact that they are basically running bent at the waist for the entire game. Good work ladies!

Pong joins OSU 36 in 36 H.M.'s

We are thrilled to announce another honorary member on our sports journey. A longtime friend of M.'s joined A. and M. for women's ice hockey. He also joined us for a night out on the town to see B-rent's band after the game! Thanks P. for adding yourself to the short list of honorary members. Maybe we will see you again at another event. (Unfortunately a picture was not taken so a reinactment photo will be posted soon.)

Men's Swimming and Diving

The 15th ranked men's Swimming and Diving team challenged Cleveland State on Tuesday November 20th in the McCorkle Aquatics Pavilion. They won in a 147-82 decision. Six other Big Ten teams are representing the league nationally. The swimming and diving program at Ohio State is well known nationally thanks to the leadership of coach Bill Wadley who has been heading the Buckeye paddlers for the past 18 years! He has coached 13 Olympians and has lead his team to qualifying for the NCAA Championships for 16 of those 18 years. His cohort Vince Panzano has produced two Olympic medalists and one World Champion. It sounds like the Buckeyes are in good hands.

Believe it or not we were again interviewed by waxx.tv who happened to be onsite for the swim meet that we attended. This time M. took the reigns and did the talking. Our media hopes are slowly taking place! I just know we will be on "Outside the Lines" by the end of our journey.

Women's Ice Hockey

The Lady Bucks took the ice agianst the Providence Friars on Fri., Nov. 16th. The crowd was live and the Friars were well represented in spite of the distance from home. We were and excited to find the event action-packed. The game was won in a 2-1 desicion with the lady bucks coming out on top. Incidentally they had a rematch the next day with the Friars and won 4-1.


Apparently there are some very loyal fans of the Lady Buckeyes women's hockey players. There was a group of guys who attend every hockey game and dress up in matching outfits to cheer on their favorite skaters. This game they were lumberjacks (see picture) They were a rowdy crew that kept the crowd entertained with their enthusiasm and witty cheers. Cheers to you loyal fans... we would never question your "fanhood."



In our quest to promote sports enthusiasm we were thrilled to have the opportunity to be interviewed by waxx.tv A. did the honors while I modelled our lovely shirts. If we were savvy enough we would be able to link to the history files so you could see our debut. Instead you'll just have to believe us.

Lazy Bloggers, Active Fans

Hello blog readers,

Sorry about the lax in postings. This in no way reflects a lack in dedication to our quest. A. and I have been busy little Buckeyes the past few weeks and after Wednesday November 28th we will be officially caught up to our goal of attending one OSU event per month. The count right now is eight months, eight events. REad on to see what we have been up tin the past month and a half.
