    The point of writing “The Confessions of an OSU Usher” was honoring the memoryOf a good friend and head of the Usher program as well as, the hundreds of hardworking, loyal and dedicated Ushers and Redcoats. This is their story as much as it is about the wonderful heartwarming and amusing stories of “The Shoe”. It is an entertaining read with a compelling theme, the love of The Ohio State University. Yes, the Ushers get in to see their beloved Buckeyes, but the Ushers come from all walks of life, doctors, lawyers, company owners, retired executives, factory workers and educators that volunteer their time to give back to the university that means so much to them. It is more than a football story, it is a look into the lives and traditions of the many individuals that come together on gameday to provide a safe and entertaining venue for thousands of rabid fans that invade the most storied stadium in the world. the link below details an article by Jon Spencer of the Mansfield News Journal . It appeared in the Bucyrus Telegraph Forum and 8 other Gannett newspapers as well.http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/sports I was on Good Day Columbus with Marshall McPeek & Shawn Ireland- click on the link belowhttp://www.myfox28columbus.com/good-day-columbus/features/good-day-columbus/stories/GDC-Confessions-of-an-OSU-Usher-55074.shtml#.VFgsD010waI
