Props to WBNS for their piece on 103 year old Buckeye fan Opal McAlister and her recent meeting with Jim Tressel and the OSU football team. (Check the video segment on the story link)
Opal used her time at practice to preach clean living to the players and to get cozy with Coach Tressel. She said Tressel is the "third most important" person she's ever met behind FDR and war hero George Marshall. Love it.Besides celebrating her 103rd by hanging with the Buckeyes, this legendary lady celebrated her 100th by cruising in a hot air baloon before taking a 135mph spin in a Laborghini on her 102nd.
Is it weird for me to say I've now got a crush on a 103rd year old?

I'm in trouble.
No, doubt...I hope you make it to the end of today's game!
I'd hit it.

What? Saving Europe from the Nazis is more important than beating the Wolverines? Opal, you need to get your priorities in order.
FDR should be 3rd on that list.
Jeff - Spoken like a true military man. Sick, but funny.
I'm an English teacher, but thanks.
Class, today the phrase of the day is "I'd hit it." Now repeat after me.. :)
We can only hope to be LIVING like her .
this is one amazing lady. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for the past 6 years.
