One of my many OSU football memories is not in the 'Shoe, but of 2006 in Spartan Stadium At the end of that game Ohio State fans owned the Stadium. With red in every corner of the stadium, we had O-H-I-O going round and round the stadium in the 4th quarter as the Green and White streamed for the exits.

Jenny and I were in East Lansing again Saturday. As Yogi Berra said, It was "like dejaveu all over again".

Shannon Shelton's lead story in Sunday's Detroit Free Press said it best...

"The empty seats in Spartan Stadium told it all....At the end of the game the only sound that filled the air in Spartan Stadium was that of Ohio State fans singing 'Hang On Sloopy' and chanting O-H-I-O. Just as they did in 2006.

Actually, one more sound did fill the air. That was Carmen Ohio. As our group of OSU alumni watched from high up in the corner of the end zone, the sun slipped from a cloudless sky to just below the horizon and the Musco lights glistened on the silver tubas, the band completely encircled the team for the playing and singing of the alma mater. It was a picture postcard ending to a football perfect autumn afternoon...an image that all of us there will not soon forget.
