That is such a nice drive, especially since they have the Lancaster by-pass done. The road travels through some of the finest non-East Coast fall scenery there is in this part of the country. If you have ever been there, you know there is only one part yet to be done -- the Nelsonville by-pass. But there is hope -- it looks like they have made progress on that section and maybe in a few years it, too, will be completed. I only hope I still have my driving license and am still young enough to go and see it.
Anyway, it was a beautiful afternoon. The Bobcats took care of business by taking the University of Akron out behind the woodshed for a whoopin'. One of the other reasons we really like going back to Athens is to see the band -- especially when the alumni band is there. There are probably 260-275 band members there, including recent grads and some who have been coming back since the 1960s. Their sound really blasts off the hills in that natural valley and it brings back some really great memories.
I took a clip of the Band playing after the game, but I think it is too big to load because it won't come up. Maybe if I figure it out, I'll add it later or make a link to it.Of course, after the post-game show was over, there was the mandatory hike uptown to the college bookstore to look at shirts and hats and such. I think it's in the alumni by-laws somewhere that you have to do this, especially if you have a two-year-old grandson!!! Can't wait to send him some new OU stuff.
