A Buckeye Tradition - Son's First OSU Football Game
A new family tradition was born on October 7, 2023 when my son Garrett attended his first Ohio State football game and Skull Session. As a big college football fan, I was thrilled to share this experience with Garrett.

Garrett graduated from Norwayne High School just last year in 2022. Now that he's living in Creston, Ohio and working for Smiths Dairy in Orrville, Ohio.
My brother Carlton, who bleeds scarlet and gray as an OSU alum, even flew in from California to join us. He never misses an opportunity to cheer on his Buckeyes. We had such a great time watching Ohio State beat Maryland 37-17 in an electric atmosphere at the Horseshoe.
After the game, we met up with Carlton's daughter Halle for dinner in Gahanna. Halle graduated from Otterbein University last year. Garrett enjoyed getting to spend quality time with his uncle and cousin, talking late into the evening.
Attending the pre-game Skull Session at St. John Arena was the icing on the cake. Absorbing all the energy, pride and tradition was incredible. I know Garrett will remember every detail of his first OSU game day for years to come.
This is now an annual tradition in the making. Carlton will fly in each fall for a game, and we'll experience the camaraderie of Buckeye Nation as a family. There's nothing quite like autumn Saturdays in Columbus!
