Sucks to be a Buckeye

One night after getting throttled by Florida for the football national championship, the 5th ranked Buckeye hoopsters had to travel to the not-so-opposing-team-friendly confines of the Kohl Center in Madison to face the 3rd ranked Badgers of Wisconsin.

I, fortunately, was one of the lucky ones to be in attendence as CB came through with a ticket for me (be sure to thank your boss for the tickets, CB). Tickets in our area were going for $175 each on the street before the game, that's what a hot ticket this was.

What a game, phew. Definitely the loudest I have ever heard that place, especially when the Badgers went up 16 in the 2nd half. Fortunately they just held on at the end as OSU's strategy of fouling and hitting 3's was cutting the lead quickly. Badgers couldn't make both their foul shots, keeping OSU in the game. It came down to their point guard just missing a 3 at the buzzer that would have forced overtime and the Badgers held on to win 72-69.

Speaking of hot tickets, Erin Andrews was in attendance doing her sideline reporting thing and looking hot as ever in her white pants and orange sweater. She easily stood out in a sea of red. The boys in the student section chanted her name over and over any time she came near them.

You asked "Who is Erin Andrews?"

You were in the same arena as my beloved Erin Andrews? Yet another reason I hate you.
