Rebecca Rapport Receives First Pikes Peak Buckeyes Scholarship  Rebecca Rapport Rebecca Rapport from Denver has been
awarded the first Pikes Peak Buckeyes scholarship. She made
the wise decision to attend OSU this fall and will
receive a $1,500 scholarship from
the Pikes Peak Buckeyes. She was accepted into the honors program and
plans to study journalism. We'll probably see her name showing up in
by-lines in the Lantern before long. Congratulations Rebecca! As you can see from Rebecca's
answers to the scholarship committee's questions, she comes from a
real scarlet and grey family with deep roots in Ohio. Tom Hof Gathering On
Friday, April 25, 2008 the Pikes
Peak Buckeyes hosted Tom
Hof, OSU's Senior Associate Athletic Director. The event kicked off at 5:30 pm
with refreshments and Tom's talk and a Q&A session ran from about
6:00-7:00 pm.
Tom presented an intimate look at the largest athletic program in the country. (A PDF copy of Tom's presentation is available here.) He has been a member of the Ohio State Department of Athletics since 1994. His responsibilities include all athletics department development, branding, creative services, fundraising activities, marketing and promotions, and premium seating programs. Prior to working with athletics, he was the director of development for the College of Law. Joining the group to listen to Tom's presentation were Randy Gradishar (OSU '74), a representative from the University of Colorado athletic department and a reporter from the Gazette. At dinner after the event, Tom let everyone ogle his Buckeye NCAA Championship ring. (April 27, 2008)       2007 Pikes Peak Buckeyes Picnic July once again signaled the summer picnic for the Pikes Peak Buckeyes. This year the weather cooperated and the crowd enjoyed a great afternoon with fellow buckeyes. The venue this year was Manitou Springs. Thanks to all the organizers and especially Jeff for all his work getting the location reserved. Also a special thanks to Megan for recording the event in pictures. More Photos...

median garden at Flintridge and El Camino on Staurday morning. A special thanks to Celeste and Steve for
attending the training session and generally coordinating the entire
project.
OSU vs. AFA Lacrosse
Game and After-Game Party   The Buckeyes dominated Air Force for a 10-6 win. Then everyone gathered at Steve Brinkman's home for a party. More Photos...   BCS Championship - OSU-14 - Florida-41 Some folks had to be bribed to crack a smile, but the Pikes Peak buckeyes are a tough bunch and we cheered our team even in their darkest hour. JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR! THE BUCKEYES WILL BE BACK!    The Game - OSU-42 - Michigan-39 What a gathering! Everyone was there! Brutus and Woody showed up. We had our own BDBITL. What a bonus that the Buckeyes played a truly memorable game and won both the Big Ten conference championship and a chance to play for the national championship.    Buckeyes Make A Difference Day Buckeye families and friends gathered on Saturday October 28th to make a difference at the the Pikes Peak Historic Street Railway Foundation. The team of volunteers buffed and sanded and polished the historic street cars trying to get them closer to rolling down the streets of Colorado Spings again.   |
