One More Game
 Terrelle Pryor on One of his Many Rushes (Courtesy: AP Photo/Seth Perlman) Apologies from your humble reporter. I managed to miss completely reporting on the OSU-Northwestern game and am late with the comments on the OSU-Illinois game. It's been a busy couple of weeks. However, we are now back at the desk and ready to bring everyone up to date. Let's start with the Northwestern game. NU is normally that extra team in the Big Ten that some have suggested should really find some other group to play with. However, this year they were one of the ranked teams that our Buckeyes played. Best not to look past them. And our guys didn't. The resulting thumping reestablished the Buckeyes as a true contender for a good bowl game. Not only that, but Penn State managed to stumble against the University of Iowa making the race for the Big Ten championship a dead heat once again with OSU, Penn State and Michigan State all with one conference loss. And, Penn State and Michigan State meet in the final game of the season at Happy Valley. It will take an MSU win to send our Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl. This past weekend saw the Bucks take on Illinois. Though unranked, Illinois always seems to give our team problems. The first quarter looked like it would be more of the same. Then the Buckeyes broke out with 14 unanswered points in the second quarter and the rest of the game was simply a matter of waiting for the final gun. Beanie Wells and Terrelle Pryor both had over 100 yards rushing. So, that brings us to the final game of the season - THE GAME. With the team from up north falling on hard times this season, the anticipation isn't what it normally is. However, the Bucks really need to win this contest for a share of the Big Ten title and a chance at a high end (BCS) bowl game. (Preview) (November 18, 2008)

An Open Letter from the Rapport's Tim,
I am writing to you, and hope that you
will share my email with the gathering of OSU Alumni and fans when you
meet to watch the big game on Saturday. Our daughter, Rebecca,
was the recipient of the Pikes Peak Scholarship awarded to her as
she was beginning her freshman year as a Buckeye. I know that she
wrote to you early in the quarter, but I want to give you a little
update so that the contributors to the scholarship fund realize that
their money is going directly to support a new Buckeye and how
much it helps.
Rebecca is rounding the corner towards
the end of her first quarter, and this will be her first OSU v.
Michigan game when she sits among her fellow students in Horseshoe on
Saturday. She is doing very well academically, and she is
learning something new about OSU every week - new ways to get around
campus, different places to eat, better times to go to RPAC to
workout, where to get printer cartridges, etc. She has also learned
that the sun shines more days in Colorado and that 30 degrees here
in Denver is not the same as a cold, wet 30 degrees in Columbus.
The support you have provided to Rebecca
through the Pikes Peak Scholarship is most appreciated by her and by us
(her parents). I hope you will be successful in meeting your
scholarship fund goals for this year so that other students from
Colorado will have the support of the Pikes Peak Alumni when they head
off to OSU next fall.
Thanks and GO BUCKS!

 OSU Men's Hockey Team Celebrates a Goal (Courtesy: OSUBuckeyes.com) Some of the group made the drive north to view the Friday game in person. Even in a losing effort the trip was well worth the effort. We received a very nice thank you from the coach for our support of the team (November 18, 2008) The Pikes Peak Buckeyes will
begin a food drive with Care & Share and with the support of BW3.
Watch for more details on this great project in the next few days.

Big News On
the Scholarship FrontThe Pikes Peak Buckeyes are proud to announce a recently concluded alliance with the local Anheuser Busch distributor. Fpr every dollar raised toward the Pikes Peak Buckeyes scholarship fund, Pikes Peak Distributing will match that contribution up to $2,000. Make sure you renew your membership (it includes a donation to the scholarship fund), and contribute to the Bucks for Bucks bucket every time our Buckeyes score. Let's be sure we raise $2,000 so we can get the whole match. (September 8, 2008)
The
weather was hot and sunny for the 3rd
annual Pikes Peak Buckeyes summer picnic. We met at the big pavillion, south of
the
Mesa Road parking lot, at Monument
Valley Park. There were wings donated by Eric at BW3 and a
celebratory cake for everyone to share. Ohio
