Oh yeah, how about that... we forgot to post an article about last weeks game! That might have something to do with our offense forgetting to show up against PurDon't. Before the unspectacular victory, Home Base had a pretty good tailgate. It seemed to be family day as everyone and their mom showed up, literally. The Koos, Baron, and Kernen lineage were all representing. Bob, aka "Bob Baron" and his son dominated the corn hole circuit as the Koos and Kernens represented as they usually do.
Combined catering from Hoggies and City BBQ made the food selection excellent to go along with great music and a great Red River Rivalry. The THAT GUY/GIRL award goes to Ma Kernen for her dance moves, great music selection, and futile attempt to play a card game with no card table... or cards?!. How do you play "asshole" with no cards you might ask? "Doesn't mattah... DRINK" says Ma Kern ...

Home Base was back in action with a home game against Minnesota. In the first week of Big 10 action and the first week that Beanie and Pryor played in the same backfield, the Home Base and Buckeye faithful showed up ready to roll. With the four tent fortress in tact, we welcomed some new faces to the crowd and started the Big 10 season off with some excellent pulled pork from City BBQ. The most encouraging news, however, was that much like the Buckeyes on the field, we finally had all of our tailgating assets in working order for the game. After several attempts, we retired the Craigslist generator and brought in a new power source.

In what turned out to be a very weak showing by the fans in Ohio Stadium - the first time in YEARS that I remember seeing empty seats in the 'shoe - the Buckeyes were invigorated with the birth of a new quarterback.
I have to be honest, I never had faith in Pryor throwing the ball yet. It scared me to death to think of him performing anywhere outside the "Tebow-ish run-it-on-3rd-down" scheme. However, he proved me wrong - and he proved all the dreamers right, breaking the record for the most TD's passed by a freshman in OSU history.......come to think of it, no Freshman has ever thrown this many TD's in a season. At 10-16 and 139 yards passing, I'd say that's a pretty good start for a QB we get to count on for at least three years anyway.

In a surprise move, Jim Tressel played Terrell Pryor for all but two snaps against an overmatched Troy team. With the young phenom in the game, the Buckeyes still looked pedestrian as the game was within Troy's reach going into the fourth quarter.
In similar fashion, Home Base was also sort of a pedestrian tailgate party. Not as many people arrived full of Buckeye spirit after the sour and deflating loss to USC. Home Base did unveil some new tailgating firepower though with the four squared Buckeye Fortress Tent Formation. We did have to use one blue tent, so we hung an OSU flag on the side to prevent the colors from tainting the esteemed look of the fortress.
We had some high quality burgers and brats along with the tailgating staples. To answer some of the requests we got during the party, no you cannot bring the cheese dip home with you. It will not end well for anyone. ...

Banana Buckeye has been officially named THAT GIRL for the first game against YSU, not that she remembers who we played.
In an honorable move, Dale Jr., declined the award and recommended someone more deserving.... much like Ohio University decided to hand the football to Ohio State University four times in last week's game in an attempt to allow the more deserving team to win.

As Jim Tressel put it, week 2 on campus was what one might expect the game after the opener and before the marquis match up. The game was an overall victory, but some progress that needed to be made straight up did not occur.....
