I was born in Lakewood, Ohio and moved to Florida when I was 6. I graduated from the College of Charleston (no football team), but grew up loving the Buckeyes and Hurricanes. Father is
OSU alum and Mother and sister are Miami (Florida) alums'. The 2002 Fiesta Bowl was interesting because I watched it with the family and it was on the same day we brought our first daughter home from the hospital. She slept in my arms the whole game despite all the yelling and cheering.
Other than that my fondest Buckeye years were between 93-98 when I was in college. The 2 guys that lived next door were from Philadelphia and were Penn State and Notre Dame fans. We'd wake up every morning at 11:30 with severe hangovers, order pizza and wings and start drinking again by the time the 12:00 game. The 98 Michigan State and 94 Penn State games were toughest to swallow!
I attended my first road Ohio State game in Raleigh last year and have been to Ohio Stadium 8 ........(all wins) times and been to 3 bowl games in Orlando and Tampa.........(all losses)!
