OFFICIAL Washington vs #1 ranked Ohio State Game Day Thread

Woof! Alright, Columbus, Ohio, here I am! The Purple Reign has landed. Where my Dawgs at?!?!

First time in Buckeye land and well, so much flat. (Not talking about the ladies, har har, amiright?) I'm used to seeing Rainier looming in the distance, and here it's just endless fields of... well, probably corn, right? It's the Midwest, that's what the movies said!

And the hospitality! Everyone is so darn NICE. Like, almost suspiciously nice. In Seattle, if you smile at someone on the street, they might think you're trying to date them. Ooof. Here, they're practically inviting me over for a hotdish. (Which, by the way, I still haven't figured out what that is, but I'm hungry and open to new experiences, especially if it involves cheese – hi Nacho!).

I even overheard someone say "pop" instead of "soda." Mind. Blown. Also, the lack of coffee stands per square mile is causing a slight tremor in my left eyelid. Uhhh… ever heard of Starbucks Midwest? Jeeeeezus.

But hey, The 'Shoe is HUGE, and the energy is palpable. The band? Legit amazing I am told. Can’t wait to hear them strike up a tasty number. And I'm ready to learn whatever the "Buckeye Leaves" thing is all about, though I'm hoping it's not a secret handshake I have to know. Just point me to the chili and cinnamon rolls, apparently that's a thing here too!

Ready to cheer my Huskies on to victory against these Buckeyes, even if I have to navigate a sea of red and an entirely new vocabulary! Wooo hoooo … Go Dawgs!
