Columbus, Ohio

For those of you who don't know, I travelled to Columbus, Ohio this past weekend for a football game between the University of Texas and Ohio State. My wonderful cousin Drew graciously offered me housing during my stay there. I must say, the entire weekend rocked.

As most of you know by now, Texas won. People, I had been to Ohio Stadium before, but I didn't experience the crazed atmospere before this past Saurday night. The stadum attendance record was set that night. 105,565 people packed in for what was the greatest game of the season thus far and what was probably the best game of all season. College football fans will understand the feeling I am talking about. This was awesome. I will never forget this game as long as I live. The Ohio State fans were rabid; downright brutal. I, as a Texas fan, was called everything from a rich pretentious Texan to a flaming homosexual (because, according to the OSU fans, only steers and queers come from Texas). I attended ESPN's College Gameday on Saturday morning, the game that night (I will post pictures soon) and Gameday Final after the game.

On the social side of things, I went out on Friday night to a place called Brother's, a big ass bar. It was teeming with Texas fans and a few lost OSU fans. Best part of the night: some random Texas fans offers to buy the ENTIRE bar drinks for 30 minutes. Word has it he ran up a $10,000 bar tab. Awesome.

Back at home, I partied with Drew a lot. It was tons of fun. I still can't believe Drew is only 18. I met her roomates, all of whom were cool as shit. Pretty hot too, especially Kim. Damn girl, you are smokin. I'm coming back in November. Drew should warn you...I am hard to resist :)

All in all, it was among the best 4 days I've had all summer. Drew, Kim, Alyssa, and Robin, thank you for having me. I loved every minute (although I don't really like y'alls parking situation; it's kinda fucked up), and I can't wait to see you all again soon! O-H-I-O!

Hey Chris...I just laughed for about 5 minutes straight over the "only queers & steers come from Texas..." :-)
