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.
