First OSU football game

We took Jakob to his first OSU football game on the 10th when they whooped West Virginia. Sorry, Geno Smith.

We had to walk about 10 blocks from where we parked to the stadium and this old pregnant lady was out of breath about half way there. In usual fashion, the campus was blanketed in a sea of orange, black and white clad tailgaters with tents, grills, lawn chairs, tv's, radios and drinks. Jakob said he'd never seen anything like that at a sporting event before. Kicker had a decked out trailer and some cars set up on the north side of the stadium. D and Jakob put in some ear plugs and ventured into the trailer. When they came out they were laughing and said it boomed so much that their insides shook.


There was a military flyover during the National Anthem and they rolled out this beautiful, giant flag. I was misty eyed. Made me proud to be an American. OSU made a very nice tribute to our nation's Veteran's.

We're ready for "Pistols firing!"


And here comes Bullet!!!

After the game we stopped back by some friends' tailgate for a little celebration and Jakob got to meet Stan Clark, the owner of Eskimo Joe's (and Mexico Joe's and Joseppi's) and he was nice enough to pose for a quick pic. Jakob loves their cheese fries. Of course, we do too, but Jakob REALLY, REALLY loves them. :)
