Saturday morning at the game, a stranger walked up to me and said "This is for good luck."

He handed me a Buckeye which he said was from a tree in the Buckeye Grove. I carried it in my pocket and indeed it was good luck . This morning we lettered the score on it... OSU 42- UM 14, and the year. As we did, I wondered...whose plaque rested under the tree this came from....Les Horvath, maybe Jim Parker, Jack Tatum, could it be Hop Cassidy?

I will keep it with my Buckeye mementos as a reminder of the tradition, and of this year's whupping put on the funny winged helmets, and for good luck carry it to future Michigan Games.
