Ohio State Beats the Spartans – 1968

What with Victory Park taking over this blog for a few days beginning last Friday, I never did get to post this. It’s the Lorain Journal’s November 3, 1968 account of the Ohio State Buckeyes taking on and beating Michigan State.

Well, the Buckeyes did exactly again that this past weekend. But unlike 1968, the march to a National Title for Ohio State doesn’t seem very likely at this point.

Anyway, as my sports buff pal Gene at my place of employment would confirm, I’m a big fan of vintage college mascots. Below is a vintage decal of  Sparty, the mascot of Michigan State.
By George, he looks like was designed by cartoonist Robert Crumb.

Hey Dan -Neat to see St. Mary's - Elyria Catholic score at the top of the page. Going to St Mary's grade school at that time then later to LC it reminded me of the rivalry between the schools and all the fun that led up to the games both football and basketball. Similar to Admiral King and Lorain High back in the day. Todd
