Ohio State Football Game

 Wow! The Buckeyes lost. For a buckeye fan, this hit hard. So this blog post we will be doing a breakdown of the game and more information on the rivalry. For starters, in my personal opinion, I think Ohio State played poorly. They did not come out of the gate strong and it could have been because they were in Ann Arbor and they could have been a little full of themselves expecting to win. Also the weather being 29 degrees and snowing was not helpful. When looking at commentators review of the game I found this article from CBS Sports and they say,

 

 “ This was a dominant Michigan performance: It wasn't a case of Michigan catching a break or two that decided the game or Ohio State having a bad day. Michigan was the better team from the jump and never took its foot off the gas. Every time Ohio State seemed to get a grip of the game, Michigan answered. Every time Ohio State needed a stop on defense, the Wolverines relied on their offensive line and running backs to keep the game alive. It was remarkable how often the Wolverines were able just to turn around and hand the ball to Haskins or Blake Corum to keep moving the chains and they delivered seemingly every single time.”

I could not agree with the above more Michigan was a really good team and were able to keep the heat on Ohio State and ultimately carry that winning flame all the way to the end.

Not only does OSU and Michigan fans watch the game in an article written by Andrew Holleran he says this about the official ratings, “The overnight TV ratings are out for the annual rivalry game and they are big. “Early numbers suggest that Ohio State-Michigan could end up with 14-15 million viewers,” John Ourand tweeted. “The game’s metered market rating came in at a 9.1. By comparison, the Michigan-Michigan State game had a metered market rating 5.4 and it ended up as the most-watched game all season.”

With a big rivalry these numbers shock me a little bit as I do not watch football if it is not a team I root for so I would think it would be just OSU Michigan fans watching but it seems like many still watch even if they are die hard fans of the teams.

What do you think about the Ohio State game? Do you watch other sports teams you are not fans for?

Can I be Klondike?

Being Klondike, the mascot here at Ohio Northern, is a big deal! It is a huge reveal when the persons who are Klondike graduate or end their Klondike careers. I have heard and have seen many pictures of the head reveal, and it is an exciting event for everyone. I happen to have a background as a mascot, and the hope to be Klondike one day is there. In my senior year of high school, no one was able to be our high school's mascot, Sparty the Spartan. There was one basketball game, and the opposing school had brought their mascot the Colt. I turned to my sister and our best friend Grace and said where's Sparty? I then ran over to my principal, who is a dear family friend to ask where Sparty was and that I wanted to be Sparty for the game. He laughed, and we went to get the outfit. This was a spur of the moment, but knowing how fun I am, this wasn't surprising to many. Let me preface that the costume had just been dry cleaned, and I am 5'3. The outfit was a little bit b...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

  For my final blog post, I had this big thank you letter written to Aggie but accidentally deleted it. So now I am going to write something a little bit more exciting! The holidays!!! December has a lot of fun days coming up!!   For starters it is Christmastime so listening to Christmas music is one of my favorite things to do in the car and studying for exams. During December there are a few other celebrations. My twin, Andrea and I are celebrating our 21 st birthday on Dec.20 and my mom’s birthday is Dec.26! Those will be great celebrations with a lot of adult beverages.   I am a huge fan of traditions or yearly events especially during the holiday season.One of the things my family does is drive around the neighborhood or a light display and see all the pretty lights and set ups. I went with Zach and a couple of friends this past weekend to the Upper Sandusky lights! They did not disappoint. I am looking forward to seeing new light displays in our new neighborhoo...

So Long Spooky Season

    So Long Spooky Season             This past weekend was Halloween!! Friday night was a girls night! A group of friends and I went to two events on campus. The first was called A Haunted Walk sponsored by the student planning committee (SPC). This occurred out by the sand volleyball courts and we walked along the green monsters with spooky stores shared along the way. It was a good event, I would have loved to see it even more interactive but happy it was short as it was cold and rainy. The second event was Haunted Hill Sponsored by a Fraternity and History group on campus. It was a little spooky if I’m being honest. Friday night was a great time!             On Saturday My boyfriend Zach and I had a great time! We worked Admissions in the morning, then I went to the ONU volleyball game (which ONU won) and then I took a nap. Zach was on call so he stayed in his ...
