Ohio State Superfan Hat

Ok so in a few hours I'm leaving for Columbus for the Ohio State football game.

Truth be told I don’t give a shit about Ohio State. I'm annoyed when people around here do the O-H thing. (they yell O-H, you’re supposed to yell I-O). And I’ve inherited much of my husband’s distain for college football in general. As he would put it - I graduated from college. I’m a professional now. Therefore I watch professional sports.

But I am always up for a party. And tailgating? So much fun. So when I was given the opportunity to go down for a girls’ weekend of tailgating, partying, and college football... well… 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

So clearly I need some Ohio State gear so as not to look completely out of place (I may have to learn a fight song or cheer or something too.)

When in doubt knit a hat:


Do I look like a super-fan?
