As a subscriber to coachtressel.com, I was fortunate to be able to attend the Jersey Scrimmage yesterday in Ohio Stadium. It definitely was a football day...cold, gray and windy and just the anti-dote for three months without football. I was up at 5 to be down there at 8:30, and on the drive down I thought what the heck, it's a football Saturday. I put in the marching band CD and as I drove along, I was soon swaying to Hang on Sloopy and singing Carmen Ohio. (As my family will attest, with my singing ability, it's a good thing I was the only one in the car.)

As for the scrimmage, well what can one say? It was not a game, but still interesting to get a look at who was doing what. The beat reporters have covered it better than I could so I'll say no more. I will say it sure was nice to just be in the stadium with other Buckeyes and to hear the pop of the pads and realize that the opener will be here before we know it. Oh yea, it was good to meet some potential story tellers too!
