BTW, I had anxiety for the fans who were running around with sticks, jerseys, and framed stuff to get signed.
I abandoned caring about promotional giveaways and player autographs a long time ago. It's too much for me and then I end up giving them to someone.

I took my youngest child to a Columbus Blue Jackets season ticket holder appreciation night last night.
I'm not a season ticket holder. I'm not even really a Blue Jackets fan. I wore a SJ Sharks beanie, but my son and I got free food, he got a puck and we met two random Russians. Win-win.

ESPN Bracketology expert moved Ohio State up from a No. 5 to a No. 3. The IX Basketball has the Buckeyes at a No. 4.

TCU got set and then called a timeout to see what OSU was doing. Or maybe Campbell didn't like the setup for his side?

Jaloni just tried a catch and shoot from the line, which is not allowed. TCU advanced the ball and has .3 seconds left to get a basket.

Jaloni could have given Ohio State its first lead but another shot that rimmed out. Hoop's bolts are too tight today, but only when Jaloni shoots.

Kennedy Cambridge hits the layup and gets fouled. Has the chance to tie the game from the FT line.
Third quarter Buckeyes usually are getting turnovers but today it is solid half court defense.
Kennedy missed while i typed that btw
