I’ve been up for two hours already and it’s 7am. This is one of the biggest football days in my Buckeye loving family. Always exciting, win or lose. We break out all of our Buckeye treasures and gather together. We share large helpings of Chili, our food tradition, and lose our voices shouting at the TV. All a part of our family holiday season.

Today will be different however. I will not be watching it with my grandmother as she has spent the last few days in the hospital. I will miss her presence in my home and her voice among ours. I know she will be watching, however, and I know the nurses will have a time keeping her calm today. Her voice will be heard among the other Buckeyes fans today.

O-H-I-O

Go Bucks!
