Hey guys, it’s your boy back at it again. Today, we’re diving deep into something that got me all fired up: the 2014 Ohio State football schedule. Now, I’ve always been a huge Buckeyes fan, and 2014 was one heck of a year, wasn’t it? I figured, why not go back and break down how I looked at that schedule, what I did, and how it all played out? Let’s get to it.
Remembering the Anticipation
First off, I grabbed the schedule. Back in the day, I was all about having a physical copy, you know? So I printed that bad boy out. Hung it up on the wall, right where I could see it every day. Gotta stay on top of things, right?
Marking the Calendar
Next, I took out my trusty marker and started circling the games I just KNEW I had to watch live, no matter what. You bet those were the big ones. Michigan, Michigan State, you name it. Those were non-negotiable.
- August 30th – Navy. That was the opener. Gotta see how the season starts!
- September 6th – Virginia Tech. Early test, I remember being a bit nervous about that one.
- November 8th – Michigan State. Huge rivalry game, always a nail-biter.
- November 29th – Michigan. THE Game. ‘Nuff said.
Setting Up Reminders
Then, because I’m a forgetful guy, I set up reminders on my phone for each game. Didn’t want to miss a single snap. I went game by game, setting those alarms, making sure I had the date and time right. A man’s gotta have his priorities straight, and Buckeyes football was high on that list.
Following the Action
As the season went on, I followed every game, every play. I watched some at home, some at a buddy’s place. I marked down the wins, the losses, the close calls, everything. My schedule on the wall was filled with Ws and Ls.
The Championship Run
And man, what a season it was! That championship run was insane! I was glued to my TV for that playoff. Every game was intense. I still remember the feeling when they won it all. Pure joy, man, pure joy. I kept that schedule up on my wall for a long time after that, a reminder of that incredible season.
So, that’s my little trip down memory lane, breaking down how I tackled the 2014 Ohio State football schedule. It was a wild ride, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Hope you guys enjoyed this little story. Go Bucks!
