For the second straight year, the Eleven Dubgate ended up with a noon kickoff coming off a shocking loss.
And for the second straight year, 11W readers came through. On Saturday you raised more than $4000 for DownSyndrome Achieves through $5, $10 and $20 donations.
Thank you to all of you who came, donated and (we hope!) had a great time with us under clear blue skies prior to the Buckeyes' victory over the Cornhuskers, bringing their record to 10-0 all-time whenever we throw a party. LET'S UPDATE THE CHART:
