USC Preview, Kinda

Okay, not really a preview, but we have some USC-related news. This is a bit old but we get a version of the same email from time to time and we have dropped the ball in the past (it was a Hamby bobble to be honest) and failed to post it.

So, when we received it again today, we decided the prudent thing to do was post right away before we became too swamped. Plus, we could use a boost in our karmic Buckeye score (judging by the lack of comments we could use it. C’mon folks, how about a little conversation? We digress).

So, with a great thanks to a daily reader, BuckeyeBravo06, we give you the plea of TBDBITL:

If anyone wants to help out, either by donating money themselves and/or spreading the word, there is an "OSUMB travel fund" set up to help with sending the band to USC. So far the band has been able to raise $30,000, but still needs $370,000, so any help you can provide in getting the word out would be much appreciated! Checks should be made payable to Ohio State University with fund # 312742 noted in the memo and sent to:

Christy Rosenthal, Director of Development
Ohio State University College of the Arts
1501 Neil Avenue, Suite 020
Columbus, OH 43201

If you have any questions, please call Christy Rosenthal at [phone] 

We have seen this post on Bucknuts and Scout in the last few weeks, so we think it has a modicum of legitimacy. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to call the number above. If you can give, please do. If you know someone who can give, pass this along. If you know a member of the George Steinbrenner family give them a call. Maybe Hank needs some positive PR.

Speaking of USC (and the actual game), the gang over at Eleven Warriors has the early scoop on the line for the game. Looks like the Buckeyes could be a surprisingly big underdog in the early evening on September 13th. This latest tip from 11W is right on the heels of their over/under post. That is the second gambling post in 3 days. We’re just saying.
