Jan. 3, 2011 - Sugar Bowl - Day 1

In order to start the New Year with a bang, I flew to New Orleans to see The Ohio State University play Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. I took my oldest son, Zack.

I ran into some old friends and made some new ones.

My first encounter was with former Buckeye Coach John Cooper.

I asked Coach Cooper if he needed a pair of "Gold Pants." The pants are a memento awarded to OSU players/coaches for beating Michigan. Cooper was 1-9 against the team up north and maybe was in need. I had recently found a pair on EBAY. Coach Cooper declined, but he did agree to a photo.
