It's ON!  Tonight, The Ohio State University plays Louisiana State University in the National Championship game in New Orleans.  This is the third time in Six Years that Ohio State has played for the NCAA BCS National Title.   In 2002 they won the most exciting title game ever played.  Last year they were blown away by the Florida Gators (who then also beat up the Basketball Buckeyes in last year's National Title NCAA final).

I've mad a wager with Don Stern, a Coldwell Banker Real Estate agent and Real Estate blogger in Baton Rouge regarding tonight's game.  When the Buckeyes win, I get to post on his blog singing the praises of Columbus, Ohio to the down-trodden Tiger fans who, once they've heard the good news, will no doubt leave the Bayou behind and head North.  If you happen to see a similar post here originating from the capital city of Louisiana, well . . . the Buckeyes didn't prevail.

Normally I'd complain that the game is on so late on a Monday Night but since I'm showing homes in the Short North tonight, it's OK.  You can bet that the millions of dollars OSU receives from this game will somehow effect the Columbus real estate market.  I'm not sure how, but the trickle down theory tells me it will.

O-H-I-O !  (they can't even spell in Baton Rouge - they spell GO like GEAUX.  Yes, I took the 3 1/2 points!)
