As per Bud, we will be making sure we’re in the stadium in time to watch this Saturday morning:
Also, we may practice at the tailgate. If the first video goes through the routine too quickly, Coach Mick breaks it down in this one:

The team started preseason practice today. Sure, there’s plenty more of The Unpleasantness to come, but we’re at the point of the year when we can finally — FINALLY — start talking about football.
I would say I started getting excited about football today, but that wouldn’t be true.
I’ve been ready for football for a few weeks now.
But before we get to the games, we have to do a proper pregame, right?
There’s this:
And this:
And no pregame would be complete without this:
How’s that for pregame?
I am happily watching the replay of Ohio State’s spring game, happy because I finally have some actual football to sink my teeth into.
Of course, it’s impossible to separate this afternoon’s game from the shitstorm my football team has been involved with for the past few months, and much of the discussion during the broadcast — and many of the thoughts I have about what transpired today — touch on the suspensions and how the Buckeyes deal with them in September.
As I’ve stopped dwelling on the whys of the suspensions and started thinking about actual football, and I’m feeling better about September. The road game at Miami isn’t as scary as it might sound — new coach, and a half-full stadium — which means we may not see a really tough test until the fifth game, against Michigan State. I think Miller’s going to be starting at quarterback by the second game, and if the O-line is OK, the team will be OK as well.
The players reported to camp on Thursday and had their first practice — as the No. 2 team in the coaches’ poll — on Friday. Justin Boren is ready to eat your children.
