Only a couple of lines were long so everyone had the chance to walk away with plenty of signatures.
2007 Public Practice
August 23rd, 2007
It was a very warm day in Columbus but that did not discourage the faithful Buckeye fans from coming out on this Thursday afternoon. First for the autograph session and then the practice. The lines were very manageable compared to this event last year, although the crowd was a bit smaller as well. As always the players were very friendly and the young kids had a great time. Naturally the longest lines were for Tressel, Laurinaitis, Wells and Boeckman. But if you got in line, you got their autograph. Here are a few of the photos we took from the day's events. Hope you enjoy!
