So the Buckeyes hosted their annual classic this weekend in which 3 other teams come and each plays two games. They were supposed to be on Friday and Sunday but the weather had other plans. After getting the first game in with only a minor delay on Friday, the Buckeyes game got going and about 30 minutes into the first half was delayed for lightning. After an hour and a half wait, the lightning still never left so they called it for the night. The only time to make up the game was at 200 pm the next day during opening day of football season. Not exactly the most convenient time but we pulled out a 2-1 win over Florida Gulf Coast U. Today, we suited up again and had an amazing game. It reminded me of why I love sports so much.
The Buckeyes went into halftime tied 0-0 with U. Central Florida. We came out in the 2nd half and were controlling everything but UCF managed to find the goal on a defensive breakdown with about 22 minutes left in the game. The rest of the half was a flurry of substitutions and attempts to tie the game up. Our magical moment came with about 1.30 left on the clock. We found and open shot and put it home to force OT. After no score in the first overtime, the Bucks came back out and put the win away with about 3 minutes left. The crowd went crazy and it was a great way to top off the game. Despite putting in over 20 hours this weekend as hosts....I loved every minute of it. I cant wait to see what the rest of the season has to hold for the team.
