Arrived safely/awesome story from my travels from Raleigh

[CaryPSU]

So......I’m using route 522, and driving thru Berkeley Springs WV.
I stop at a Sheetz, and I’m making small talk to the couple with the couple behind me(decked out in PSU garb)
Turns out the couple is Gross-Matos’ parents.
Nice people

There is a bypass that gets you out of the traffic, but you don't see the sheets or players' parents.

Coming north on 522, turn left on Cold Run Valley road and go 6 miles to rt. 9. Make a right, drive a half mile and you are at the last light on the n end of town. Make a left and you are done with a lights til breezewood

A slightly different story but I just grabbed a drink with co-workers and a guy with OSU gear just walked in. I asked if he was ready for the game and he let me know that he was Ohio State's all time leading tackler, Marcus Marek. Pretty weird to bump into this guy the day before the game while in northeast Massachusetts. Penn State by a thousand!

Marcus Marek's Ohio State career per 10tv.com:

No one has brought down more ball-carriers as a Buckeye then Marcus Marek. A four-year starter from 1979 through 82, Marek made 572 career tackles, edging Tom Cousineau for the all-time lead.

From Vienna, Ohio, in Trumbull County, he was the first player in OSU history to lead the team in tackles three straight seasons, earning All-Big Ten honors each time.

Marek was the first Buckeye to lead the team in tackles for three consecutive seasons.
In 1982, Marek was named All-American. His 178 tackles that year still represents the third highest single-season total in school annals. On senior day against Michigan, Marek made a career-high 21 tackles, and intercepted a pass to set up the Buckeyes final points in a 24-14 win.

Marek ranks first in all-time assisted tackles at Ohio State with 316, and his 256 solo stops place him third in that category.

Did you buy him a drink? I would have sent him woman's shot. Something like a bl*w j#b!

Did you throw a piss balloon on him and run?

Sounds like he was a busy little buckeye back in the day.
