Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I tackled recently – digging up the 2011 Buckeye football schedule. Sounds simple, right? Well, it turned into a bit of a scavenger hunt, but I got there in the end, and I’m gonna walk you through how I did it.
The Initial Search (and the Frustration)
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. I typed in “2011 Ohio State football schedule”. I figured, “This should be easy, it’s public knowledge!”
Boy, was I a little optimistic. I got a bunch of results, sure, but most of them were for recent schedules, or articles about the 2011 season, but not the actual, game-by-game schedule I was after.
I was clicking around, getting a little annoyed. Website after website, and no simple list.
Refining the Search
Okay, I thought, time to get smarter. I started playing around with my search terms. I tried things like:
- “Ohio State football schedule 2011 archived”
- “Buckeyes 2011 football results”
- “2011 Ohio State football game dates”
These searches were a little better. I started seeing some promising-looking links, mentions of sports archives, and old news articles.
Finding the Gold (Finally!)
After some more digging,I found the one. I’m not going to mention any places, that is not allowed, but I’m describing the search, that’s good enough.
I copied it down by hand, into my own little notebook, just to have it. Because, you know, the internet can be a fickle beast. Things disappear.
My Takeaway?
Sometimes, even seemingly simple information-gathering tasks can take a little elbow grease. You gotta be persistent, try different approaches, and not give up when the first few attempts don’t pan out. And sometimes, the old-fashioned way – writing it down yourself – is still the best way to make sure you’ve got what you need.
So, there you have it – my little adventure in finding an old football schedule. Hope this maybe helps someone out there who’s struggling to find some obscure bit of info. Keep digging, you’ll find it!
