The throw seen 'round the world...

 

So I know you're all disappointed that I haven't posted a Chicago update yet, but it's coming. For now, let's journey back in time to a day that Kyle is sure to never forget. The day he got to go on the OSU field at halftime and throw a football for the chance to win $500.

Let me remind you that this is the same man who was petrified to stand in front of 150 friends and family members at our wedding. My how people change over the years...

After winning the football toss outside of the stadium (5 out of 10, woo hoo!), it was on to the big show. Kyle was a little nervous throughout the first half, and before we knew it, there were only 6 minutes left. That was our cue. We headed down to the field. Now, I've been on the field a few times before but never during a game. It was so much fun and very exciting to be down there in the middle of all the action. That was worth it for me, but Kyle still had work to do.

Finally it was time for him to go out on the field. They introduced him and then he let the ball fly. It may not have gone in, but he still got a $50 consolation prize, which makes everything better.

Oh what could have been... :)

All of this made for one exciting afternoon we aren't soon to forget. I'm just happy I got to be there since Kyle had promised my ticket to someone else. I guess that's what I get for being completely sports illiterate and enjoying people watching more than the game.
