ATHENS, Ohio - Kickoff for CMU-Ohio is about 20 minutes away. It's still early, but it seems like plenty of fans are showing up at Peden Stadium for the Bobcats' home opener. It's very hot here, too- on the way into Athens, my car temperature read 87 degrees. I can only imagine
And Athens, Ohio, is a beautiful area- unfortunately, I left my camera cord in Mount Pleasant, so I can't show you any pictures just yet! Ohio University is one of the older campuses in America and it shows with the structures and the overall feel. The stadium seems small in comparison to Kelly/Shorts, but it's still pretty nice. There's a hill area at one end zone for people to sit, and it looks like the other end zone has the marching band in it.
As for the seven-hour drive, it wasn't bad as it sounds, except for the talk radio in the Ohio area, which focused COMPLETELY on Ohio State's game at USC. There's only so much you can say about that game, as good as it's hyped up to be, especially with Chris "Beanie" Wells out. But there was some entertainment throughout all the overstatements, especially straight from a commercial for one of the talk radio hosts:
"Tonight, O.J. (Simpson) will witness a slaugher he isn't personally responsible for!"
"How on earth did Reggie Bush go from playing college football to playing in the NFL, yet still take a pay cut?!"
"If you guys want a bigger laugh than a replay of Michigan's loss to Utah, check out our radio show!"
Thousands of miles away, yet still cheap-shotting the Trojans. Welcome to Ohio State football, I guess! And many of these guys obviously picked the Buckeyes to win at the Coliseum. All I have to say is good luck. USC looks like the best team in the nation and missing your Heisman candidate isn't going to help.
Expect halftime updates, as well as postgame updates, on cm-life.com and right on this blog. Unfortunately, I can't get you pictures yet, but I'll update Sunday with a few, I hope. Take care!
