The good wife...

I could care less for college football...except for the fact that my husband's mood is dependent on the Ohio State game every Saturday in the fall. So, it was truly a selfless act that we ended up in Columbus for the Ohio State vs. Wisconsin game today. It was my anniversary gift to him.

Unfortunately, due to flight delays, we arrived in Columbus 3 hours later than expected last night. After a rainy day yesterday, we were treated to great football weather today. K had a nice run up to campus this morning, while I opted to sleep in and rest up for the madness that was to come later. We grabbed a quick lunch downtown then hopped on the bus to campus where the numbers of fans grew with each passing block. We got there in time for the Skull Session, the pre-game rehearsal for The Ohio State marching band ("The best damn band in the land").
Then, we made our way into The Horseshoe among a sea of red as far as the eye could see. We settled into our seats early and waited for the "fun" to begin.
The famous "Script Ohio"...Sweater Vest himself leading the players onto the field...I can't give you any commentary on the game - all I know is that I was relieved when K was happy and worried when he was not.

A happy K with the final score: Ohio State 31 - Wisconsin 13.
Then, it was off to the Short North arts district to get away from the madness and enjoy 3-way chili at Surly Girl Saloon (which we discovered during our last trip to Columbus). And to K's chagrin (and my delight), there were no tv's to be seen while we were eating dinner so he couldn't stay updated on the rest of the football games - ha!

The good wife indeed.
