OSU -vs- Michigan

Yeah, it's a big thing. I have heard from friends in Columbus all week how the campus was a buzz with anticipation, but could that possibly be the case 15,000 miles away? I arrived into McMurdo Station Thursday night for some repairs to the equipment and a couple of days off to recharge. Before I had been here 12 hours I had heard "The Game" mentioned 3 or 4 times on TV. So yes, the game is important here in Antarctica too.

Today, Sunday morning, at 9:30AM members of The Ohio State University contingent met in a specific lounge to watch the game. All told there were five of us from OSU, a few Michigan haters, and 6 or 7 Kiwi's that had never seen an American football game before. It was an exciting and interesting crowd.

42-39 Ohio State, congratulations. I will be home when they go for the NCAA National Championship in January. I must say it is cool to be going to a school that has a athletic program that is good, but the following still mystifies me, but in a good way.
