We'd like to thank the several hundred folks who were at Old Chicago to cheer the Buckeyes on to an outstanding Rose Bowl victory as well as those who cheered the in Pasadena, at home, or wherever you were! What a great way to cap a great Buckeye season!
We'd also like to thank everyone who has been a part of the Ohio State Alumni Club of Greater Kansas City for you support through donations and efforts. You continue to help make us one of the most active and visible clubs in the Ohio State Alumni Association and allow us to continue to offer scholarship assistance to Ohio State for local high school students.

A very large and raucous crowd was at Old Chicago on Saturday to watch the Buckeyes beat Michigan for the 6th year in a row and winning the outright Big Ten Conference title, and their fifth overall title in a row.

IOWA RECAP |
|
Event Date: 11/14/09 |
|
|
|
The 'Nut House' was rockin' and as an energized group of Kansas City area Buckeyes filled Old Chicago and willed Ohio State on to an overtime win over Iowa, a fifth consecutive Big Ten Championship, and their first trip to the Rose Bowl in fourteen years!
Congratulations to David Lab, winner of two tickets to the upcoming Elton John/Billy Joel concert at the Sprint Center... another drawing for two tickets will be held during the Michigan game. |

OHIO STATE vs. STATE PENN RECAP
|
|
Event Date: 11/07/09 |
|
|
|
Over 100 local Buckeyes including longtime Buckeye Fred Pagac Sr. were on hand at Old Chicago to watch Ohio State beat Penn State 24-7. With Iowa's loss to Northwestern, the Bucks are now in control for a fifth straight Big Ten Championship and a BCS Bowl... most likely the Rose Bowl! (Anyone remember the Rose Bowl???)
A key matchup next week against the Iowa Hawkeyes and the season ending matchup against Michigan remain. Make plans to join us at Old Chicago for each of these games! |

OHIO STATE - NEW MEXICO ST. RECAP |
|
Event Date: 10/31/09 |
|
|
|
Halloween preparations, a beautiful fall day, and perhaps the opponent may have affected attendance at 'The Shoe' as well as Old Chicago but it had no impact on the enthusiasm. After sleep walking through the first quarter, the Buckeyes treated the faithful to some tricks of their own on the way to a 45-0 win over New Mexico State.
Next week's game is against Penn State and will kickoff at 2:30CT. We're hoping to see everyone over the next three weeks as Ohio State attempts to win a fifth straight Big Ten championship. |

OHIO STATE vs. MINNESOTA RECAP |
|
Event Date: 10/24/09 |
|
|
|
It looked bleak at the start... not the game but the attendance at Old Chicago on Saturday. However late arrivals perhaps still shaking off the Boilermaker hangover from last week filled the place and enthusiastically cheered the Buckeyes to victory.
Congratulations to Jody Emma, winner of two tickets to the Iowa game on November 14th and special thanks to Tyler Woods for his help in drawing the winning ticket!
Next game is this Saturday against New Mexico State which is on the Big Ten Network. Kickoff is at 11 and doors open at 10. Times for the final three games of the year have still not been announced. We hope to everybody this Saturday! |

OHIO STATE/PURDUE RECAP |
|
Event Date: 10/17/09 |
| |
|
We'd once again like to thank everyone who watched Saturday's game at Old Chicago. While the Boilermakers may have ended all concern on where the Ohio State will debut in the BCS poll, the Buckeyes are still playing for a fifth consecutive Big Ten title. 3 big games loom in November and suddenly there appears to be no 'tune-up' games left on the schedule.
This Saturday's game against Minnesota kicks off at 11 am and doors at Old Chicago open at 10. We will also be drawing for two tickets to the OSU/IOWA game to be played on November 14th. |
