Starting on September 5th, 2009, Ohio State football fans will welcome the Navel Academy into The Shoe with a new tradition - Take the Field Tribute. Instead of boo's and taunts, the Mids will be welcomed into Ohio Stadium to the sound of over 100,000 cheering fans.
Ohio State hopes other teams will honor our country's service academies in this manor from now on and so do I. Therefore, I'm pleased to include the video that the Ohio State athletic department is circulating to promote this new tradition.

For the first time in history, I'm looking forward to watching kickoff from an Ohio State game that doesn't include Michigan. Go Navy!
P.S. - Now let's see if Notre Dame is classy enough to also salute the Mids when they visit. My guess is yes, they will put aside their massive ego but only because of peer pressure.

Having been able to partake in one Saturday Annapolis game I was truly taken aback. It is remarkable the class and character this group demonstrates; player, fan, and family alike. I commend Ohio State for taking some of their perennial spotlight and shining it on true American heroes and what they stand for. God Bless. Go Middies.
