I think many of us are still in shock over this. But here's what we need to do next:

1. Yell OU, Oh Yeah!

2. If you have a Twitter and Facebook account, use it to spread the love (we are lighting up Twitter right now).

3. If you can make it to St. Louis, do it. If you can't, schedule or participate in a watch party.

4. Wear your Ohio gear ALL WEEK LONG!

5. Convert your friends into Bobcat fans.

6. Enjoy this magical ride!

Two of my handful of best friends from OHIO (I graduated '77) do not generally follow BOBCAT sports much.  They've been all over the 'Cats end of season.

Maybe my sample size is too small but I think that football and basketball are having a HUGE, I mean HUGE, impacct on alumni connections.  Part of that gots to be cash.

Love OHIO?  Send a little green to Athens so it keeps going.

We have also seen many of our less active classmates jump on the OHIO long train. :-)



While I'm sure it is bringing in the financial support from alumni, we have found that following the teams this year has lead to some great new alumni friendships that will hopefully continue in the years to come. It's amazing to be a part of something bigger than yourself. It's amazing to be a Bobcat.
