How Good It Feels

So it has been nearly a solid week since I've been on here, and one could argue that I've simply been basking in the glory of not having to work at Meijer Distribution Center anymore. This statement would in fact be very true, but in addition to it I would include the fact that I went to Miami this weekend to visit one of my best friends from high school. I certainly had a grand ole time, and miss that guy a whole bunch. It was great that it worked out where I was able to go see him and spend the weekend getting the full Redhawk experience.

We went out Saturday night when it was scorching out and humid, which was something that I guess was very unorthodox for this time of year. I say that because the day after as well as Labor Day were quite the contrast. It was rather disheartening when I walked outside and the temperature was in the 60s-I could not help but say "Holy cow it's cold." In reality, it really was not too bad of a temperature I just was not used to it because of the absolute disgusting weather we had the few days before.

Ohio State opened the Luke Fickell era on Saturday with a victory over lowly Akron. I enjoyed the game with my friends at a Miami BW3's and couldn't help but chuckle to myself when about half of the cheers in there were for the Buckeyes and not the Redhawks who also played at noon. I guess there are just Ohio State fans everywhere. Old man Joe Bauserman got the start for OSU and he did very well for his first start since he was a high school senior. And who would have guessed it-the Buckeyes' first touchdown this year would be a rushing one by him. Or who would have thought that their tight end (Jake Stoneburner) would catch three touchdowns? All were pleasant surprises for Luke Fickell I'm sure, and for Buckeye Nation.

Freshman phenom Braxton Miller only played one series in the first half but played the majority of the second and was also very impressive. I'm not sure exactly was Fickell's plan is for the QB situation the rest of the year (there are rumors that both will play about the same amount this weekend against Toledo) but if he sticks with Bauserman I'd be perfectly content. After what he did Saturday I don't have a problem if that continued. We all know it will be Miller Time soon enough.

It's safe to say everyone (including myself) is happy that football is back-and I simply cannot wait for this Thursday night. Marking the kickoff of the 2011 NFL season, Green Bay will host the New Orleans Saints in a matchup of the last two Super Bowl Champions. It sure is going to be heartwarming to see Aaron Rodgers throwing the pigskin around to anyone he wants to and watch Clay Matthews and Charles Woodson and Co. wreak some havoc on Drew Brees at Lambeau. GO PACK GO

T-Minus one week until my return to Columbus, and in the words of Bart Scott I "CAN'T WAIT!" In the words of James Balata, one of my roommates from my freshman year, "The longer you wait, the better it tastes."

I think it's safe to say it's going to taste pretty sweet come next week.

Proud Buckeye who is in love with his school,

Eric Seger

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
