i'Ve cAveD

okay. so i moved here over 4 years ago. my first impression of columbus was initially built upon the fantatical fanbase that makes the city up. seriously, i felt the buckeye fans of columbus were essentially what made columbus what it was, and that was crazy. i was shocked to see the dedication and the energy and the pure craziness that ensued during football season. and i vowed to never succomb to the pressures of cheering for OSU. i refused, at the time to fall into this chaos and held on staunchly to my position for some time. however, it must be, as one person put it, a matter of osmosis because towards the end of last football season i felt my defenses dropping. ever so slightly mind you, but dropping nonetheless. for instance, last season's michigan game had my stomach in knots. i was not about to admit this to anyone, yet at that moment i realized that this could only be the beginnings of becoming a fan. i attempted to put a wall back up, but have since decided its fruitless. im in. im part of the phenomena that encompasses the OSU buckeyes. am i proud of it? not necesarily, yet it is truth. i actually bought joey a buckeye jersey the other day at the store and sought out information only today on how to acquire a ticket or two for the upcoming season. this is nonsense, yet its addicting nature has sucked me in and i will now publically state that i am one of them..go bucks!
