OH........IO

Well still no tickets, but we have 2 more days to get them so we will see what happens. Some people that are in the same situation as us are taking this whole thing to extremes, in a way Jason and I are hoping to get them and then all these people who have already contacted the FBI and stuff will look pretty darn goofy. Who knows if we got ripped off, then we got ripped off, but one way or another we will eventually get our money back. To me it isn't worth obsessing about, this kind of stuff happens. The guy claims still that this was just a big misunderstanding and that all the tickets have been shipped, on that only time will tell. Well for a little more Buckeye trivia and facts. I need to come up with a good one but I'm sure my husband who is filled with way too much useless knowledge will get it right.
Both Ohio State and Michigan have sent many players on to professional football. Michigan lists Ernest Hughitt, varsity 1912-1914, as it's earliest player to join the professional ranks- playing for the Buffalo All-Americans,1920-1924. Also on the 1920 Buffalo squad was Cedric Smith, varsity fullback from 1915-1917. Ohio State lists Chic Harley as its first professional player. The 1916 All-American halfback played for the Chicago Bears in1921.
The National Football League instituted its college player draft in 1936. Since then the number of first- round draft choices has become one more measure of competition between the schools. Ohio State had its first first-round choice in 1938 draft when halfback James McDonald was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles. Three years later Michigan had a pair of first-round choices: quarterback Forrest Evashevski, chosen by the Washington Redskins, and Tom Harmon, the number one overall pick of the Chicago Bears. Neither Evashevski or Harmon played for the teams that drafted them however.


How many first round draft picks do the Buckeyes boast?

First rounders, huh? I really have no idea, but an educated guess would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 200. Some years they've had like four or five, some years none, but I'll guess it averages out to about two or three a year meaning they'd be around the 150 to 200 mark. How'd I do?

By the way . . . get those tickets yet?

Well boys, the answer is actually on 58. But that is 10 more than our rivals michigan who can only boast 48. That is from the site I went to, whether it is 100% accurate I'm not sure. But there is your answer. Surprisingly only 58
