I can't believe we all missed this yesterday. Maybe we were all preoccupied with DJ's absence, the Ivy League considering banning tackling in football practice, or coach Meyer raiding TSUN's cookie cupboard to bring home Antjuan Simmons.  In any event, somehow in all the excitement yesterday we at 11W forgot to wish a hearty "Happy 213th Birthday" to the greatest state, which was admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803.

So here it is, a day late and a dollar short, but nonetheless:  "Happy Birthday, Ohio"
It's good to be a Buckeye.

Some 11W writers far more talented than me have provided great articles in the past, and they're worth the read.
