GO BUCKS
Intrepid copy editor Kelly here, blogging live from my sister's apartment in Columbus. Outside, tens of thousands of Ohio State fans are drinking, dancing, drinking, celebrating, drinking, berating any Michigan fans who walk by, and ... did I mention drinking?
So why am I sitting inside blogging like a big nerd when there's fun to be had out there? Simple. My sis and I woke up at 5 a.m. to do "kegs and eggs" (a tradition I think we should introduce in the CiN office, by the by), and while I tapped out early to catch some Z's before the game, my sibling has been going strong ever since. She's had about 20 minutes of sleep in the past 24 hours, so we're taking some down time before going out again.
Did you know the residence halls here house over 10,000 people? Imagine 10,000 people from every background you could imagine converging in a 10-city-block radius - and the only thing they all have in common is a desire to be educated and have fun. The community that results is something to behold.
I love Columbus; I do. I think it gets things right that Cincinnati misses the boat on, and I think a lot of it has to do with OSU. But that's a subject for another post, perhaps.
Meanwhile, did you know the OSU-Michigan rivalry is considered the greatest in American sports? With that in mind, I'd like to deliver this message to Jon Berndt, CiN designer and Michigan alum: WOO! 37-21, BABY! IN YOUR FACE!
That is all.

Who knows which college football rivalry has been played the most? (No cheating and googling). My alma mater (Missouri) has played Kansas the second-most times in Division I. Unfortunately, this weekend Missouri suffered the same fate as that other school that starts with Mi. Rock, chalk, whatever....
Here's to three more years of Chad Henne and Michael Hart vs. Ted Ginn.
