2006 Game #2: Cincinatti Vs. Ohio State

Cincinatti Vs. Ohio State

Yesterday after numerous travel challenges I made it to my first Ohio State game of the year just before the half time. #1 Ohio State managed to cover the spread beating Cincinnati 37-7. Nick and I sat in B deck (which I’ve only done on a couple locations) and had some pillars cover all play between the 30 to 50 yard line on the North side of the stadium.

Since I missed the tailgate Nick and I proceeded on foot to King Avenue 5 to watch the rest of the afternoon games. As you can see by whatever shot these men are drinking, I needed to find my own ride home.

Nick Barbone and Friends (ie the begining of the end).

This afternoon began harmless enough… how it ended I don’t know.

Shot Number 1Shot Number 1 (during).Shot Number 1 (reaction).Shot Number 1 (after effects).Shot Number 2. Shot Number 2 (game over).

Like I said before I’m not sure what they drank but I got Kyle to drive me to my car so I could meet back up with these guys. It didn’t happen. I’m not sure how they finished the night but I can only imagine it got ugly considered these photos were take around dinner time.

I ended up meeting Sal at WOSU, heading to Char Bar and then grabing some pizza at my place. The long Island iced tea at Char Bar was enough for me to call it a night and head home. The grabbing a slice of pizza lead to a shot at Mama’s in the alley off High Street. I’ve never been there before so it was worth the stop. Of course the bartender was from Steubenville (ie she’s legit).

Side Note:
So on my flight home today I sat next to John Kasich, FOXNEWS commentator and former Ohio Congressman. In addition to this I witness this scene at the baggage claim:

As I’m waiting for all the luggage from my flight 2 bags and a wrapped up box hits the luggage belt and nothing else. The box looks like a bomb as it goes around the carresel several times. In the mean time a car service driver holding a sign that reads ‘Mr. Bombay’ keeps checking everyone out waiting for luggage. Next thing I know a Stephen Baldwin, wearing neon pink and green shows, comes up to the baggage claim grabs the bomb and two bags and then heads over to the driver.

Turns out Stephen Baldwin is now Mr. Bombay.

476 miles as the crow flies (minus two buritos).

Yesterday before work I stopped by the ice cream bar at FAO Schwarz to have a $14 Milk Shake and I happened across the Dallas Cowboys’ 1st round Draft Pick Bobby Carpenter. This is really of no consequence but I also saw him last year in Columbus with the same woman eating a massive burrito at Chipotle.

Just kind of interesting. The Buckeye jacket gave him away. Did I mention the milk shake was $14… The Sundae was more.

Update:

I’ve been recently been notified that it wasn’t Bobby Caprenter but actually Nick Mangold. This makes sense since I’m in New York and Mangold signed with the Jets. As you can see by the photographs above this is an easy mistake from accross the room. If I only I had my team of interns working on this it wouldn’t be a problem.

This past Saturday I witnessed first hand Ohio State defeat the Michigan State Spartans 35-24. The game seemed a lot closer than the final with the usual inept OSU offense. The game was all MSU until a horrible executed field Goal attempt at the end of the half which was blocked and returned for an OSU touchdown.

Once again Mr. Jech held a commanding presence on the field.
