A few months ago, my boyfriend purchased two tickets to the Ohio State vs. Florida A&M football game for September 21st.
That day had finally arrived.

Our journey began at 8 o'clock in the morning, with donuts in hand: one buckeye donut for him and two raspberry jelly filled donuts for me. Lets just say I loveee donuts! After a two and a half hour car ride, we finally arrived in Columbus. Prior to the start of the game, we walked around the stadium, referred to as The Shoe. We sat in Level
C, Section 28, Row 38, Seats 5 and 6. Even though we were rather far
from the field, we were able to see every play! Except there were a few
times I struggled to see around the head of the man sitting in front of
me. He had to have been over 6 feet tall!
At noon, the game officially began. The Ohio State University Marching Band took the field to play the Buckeye Battle Cry and Across the Field.
In the first half, Ohio State scored 55 points!
Before I knew it, it was halftime and The Ohio State University Marching Band had taken the field. While other fans ventured to the concession stands, I stayed to watch the performance and the infamous Script Ohio. For their halftime performance, they paid tribute to The Beatles. First, they spelled Beatles. From there, they constructed a giant guitar that moved up and down. The fret board portion of the guitar formation created John, Paul, George, and Ringo. To conclude, they made a giant peace sign (which happens to be my favorite sign)! I was amazed at how precise and straight all of their formations were! Overall, The Ohio State University Marching Band had a stellar halftime performance and truly lived up to their name as the best damn band in the land.
At the end of the performance, Brutus the Buckeye and The Ohio State Cheerleaders welcomed the football team to the field and so began the second half of the game.
In the second half, Ohio State scored 21 points. The final score was 76 to 0. Buckeyes win! To celebrate, the best damn band in the land played Carmen Ohio, while the football team and audience sang along. You can view the video below:
The video was taken on my iPhone, so it's not the best quality.

To thank my boyfriend for purchasing the tickets, I bought him a new shirt to wear to the game! The idea came about a few months ago, when we were at the Fairfield Commons Mall. My boyfriend made his way to The Buckeye Room. This store is a sport's enthusiast's dream, as they offer a wide selection of professional and college merchandise. While perusing through The Ohio State section, he stumbled upon an adorable black shirt by Nike that simply said, Go Bucks! My boyfriend even looked at the price tag, but refused to pay for it or allow me to pay for it. So, he left the store empty handed. I returned a few weeks later and bought the shirt.
