Where were you when you heard?

Where were you when you heard about the Tressel resignation news?

I was at the US Airways ticket counter at Metro airport on my way to Boston.  I overheard a skycap yell the news to the ticket agent.  I immediately pushed my wife out of the way, confirmed it with him, and spent the rest of the preflight wait sharing the news with everyone in a Michigan t-shirt.

Checked FB and saw someone post a link with the title " Tressel Resigns". I immediately pressed like and went to MGoBlog then ESPN

I was awoken with the news and immediately began whistling the tune to ding dong the witch is dead.  It seems M-zone had the same reaction and posted the audio.

for Memorial Day.  I was getting ready to leave to watch the parade and I heard the news from a friend.  I waved my Michigan hat in circular patterns with extra gusto when I was at the parade.

I just woke up and was in the midst of watching my daily dose of Sports Center when I heard about it. It has been a pretty good Memorial Day thus far.

I was waking up with a horrible hangover (way too many shots last night).  Turned on the TV and saw the news.  I knew at that moment, this was the best birthday present ever!

Im studying abroad in England right now and I am 5 hours ahead of Ann Arbor, so I went to MGoBlog (per usual every morning) and saw the topic when there were only 5 comments on it, so I found out earlier than most people.  I then put it on facebook for everyone to see, and I was the first one (of my friends) who heard it.  Gotta love the time difference!

Over my headset my friend told me Tressel had been fired. When I found myself paying more attention to the tv, I knew it was time to leave the game.

a double Lake Trout hookup when my phones twitter alert sounded. There was scarlet red blood in the boat and all over my hands while we were basking in A'Maize'ing sunshine so it was perfect timing.

I was out fishing on lake erie with some buckeye fans. It was an amazing moment when the news broke out on the boat. I was getting frustrated not being able to catch anything all morning too, but then the news came out, suddenly I didn't care about any fish. I just wanted to celebrate with booze...maybe even some fireworks, why not.

I was waking up after spending the night (copulating) with an Ohio State native. I woke up and the first words out of her mouth were "Jim Tressel just resigned" Best words to wake up to ever, especailly given the previous night.

This is not that big of an event to mark in time.  They got (and hopefully, will continue to get) what they deserve for their crimes.  Just like we did.

I was at a U11 girls soccer finals game in Dayton, Ohio. My buddy that coaches yells out during halftime to the parents sideline "Tressel just resigned" so everyone hears. Everyone checks their cell phones as I stand as say WHHOOOOOOO!!!! Everyone oddly looks over at me as I Tiger Woods fist pump with my Michigan t-shirt. I could do nothing but laugh, as they all looked like someone in their family had just passed. One of the best days of my in this shitty state.
