Greetings Buckeyes,

All I can really say is that I hope those of you that were able to come out and join us at O'Brien's and Mug's & Jug'sfor the Fiesta Bowl had a good time despite the tragic ending. In spite of that we can now turn our attention to National Signing Day where we're very poised to have a steller recruiting class and focus on Buckeye Basketball.

Saturday is going to be a bit bitter sweet. We have a couple of eventsplanned for this Saturday at O'Brien's for those that are interested in joining.We're having a farewell party for our fellow Alum and good friend Dave Jenkins who unfortunately for us will be moving to Ohio to be closer to family. Dave has been a great supporter of the club and our Buckeyes and a great friend. I hope that you can come out and share in one last outing with him before heheads back to"The Heart ofIt All". In addition and as an added bonus, Ohio State will be playing Fichiganon the hardwood at 8 pm.We have a fairly solid squad once again this year and the Big Ten in general looks strong. Let's continue to show that Buckeye Pride as we look to continueour winning ways against ThatTeamUp North.

Football season may be over for the time being but lthat doesn't mean the Buckeye party has to stoprolling. I hope to see everyone out Saturday at O'Brien's as we'll be arriving around 7:30.

GO BUCKS!
