I will be excited - and nervous.
I will be wasting my agency's money by surfing the web for the latest college football stories during office hours.
I will be nervously toying with my green and white football charm bracelet.
I will be wearing a collegiate tee with a black blazer, black dress pants, and heels.
I will be holding on to some kind of hope that my team, the Marshall Thundering Herd, can "play until the whistle blows" and avoid the embarrassment that the opposing team could possibly serve them - but, I have a feeling, it's not going to be as big of a beating as some of my Ohio friends suspect.
I will hope that grandpa Lou Holtz has something nice to say about the Herd, a young team with a brand new coach and a brand new outlook.
I will be defending my team to no end, as Ohio State fans badger me with ignorant, bold and disrespectful comments at the office (I'm exaggerating here - really, they're nice people.)
I will hold my head up high, because even though the Buckeyes are one of the strongest powerhouses of this college football nation, my Herd has soul, respect, and gorgeous kelly green uniforms. And awesome fans, like me.
Thursday, September 2nd, 7:30 pm

Say a prayer for me on Thursday night, will you? (At least I will be noshing on good food.)

I'm a Buckeye fan, but I admire your dedication to Marshall! I can't say that I really get into football all that much, but being born/raised in Ohio means I have to be an OSU fan. Good luck! :)
I admire your dedication as well, but I too am an OSU fan. Although I'm more into pro football than college!
Ha! I will always have a soft spot in my heart for LH, because he coached the Gamecocks for many years. Our first game is Thursday, too!

You are a brave, brave woman!!!! But I admire you for being so brave!!!
What is it about OSU fans? My family is all from Ohio and they are the most annoying fans ever! They talk like they are ON the team themselves! I'd take kelly green over red anyday! :)

Fingers crossed for your team!
