I have parked in the South lot on the southwest side of Lucas Oil Stadium for tonight’s OSU-IU game. I have a limited supply of paperback “Buckeye Brotherhood” books. Enough people expressed interest, so I brought some. I will be on S. Missouri St. for a little while if you’re interested.

Julian Sayin has become a top Heisman contender, but those who know him best say he hasn't changed at all with new fame. Good stuff from his family and Ryan Day. Hope you enjoy. bit.ly/4pY6AGN

Just throwing this out there. Would there be interest if I brought paperback "Buckeye Brotherhood" books to Indy for purchase? I'm not sure how it would work logistically. My parking is in the South Lot near Capital Ave. I could sell and sign them near there before the game. Your thoughts?

My scheduled book signing at the OSU campus Barnes & Noble for tomorrow has been rescheduled for Dec. 18. The store didn't have enough books ordered, and this week has been crazy for me, so it works out best for everyone. I will have a signing at the Dublin B&N next Thursday (Dec. 11).

I'm not really familiar with Bookshop so I can't advise you about that. If you pre-ordered, I imagine you would get it eventually. If you become a paid annual subscriber to my Substack covering OSU football, I will mail you a signed copy from my supply for no additional cost.
I’ve pre-ordered on Bookshop. I’m down in Texas. Do you think it will eventually ship, or do you think I would be better off asking an Ohio family member to grab me a copy?

Great news. After a frustrating delay, Amazon now has paperback versions of "Buckeye Brotherhood" available.
Here's the link: bit.ly/44Ll6t3.
If you're in Ohio and can buy it at a bookstore, I hope you do to support them. But Amazon obviously is convenient, especially for those out of state.

Analysis: Ohio State will now go on to play for championships, but Saturday's 27-9 domination of Michigan was the victory Ryan Day needed most of all. The link on my Substack: bit.ly/4pdbwYi

Ryan Day’s Buckeyes are hoping to snap a four-game losing streak in The Game. What changes has he made? How did last year’s loss shape him? How is he feeling heading this week? No one knows him better than his wife, and I talked to Nina.

I have a personal Black Friday offer because "Buckeye Brotherhood" is hard to get right now. If you become an annual paid subscriber to my Substack, I'll send you a free paperback copy from my personal stock. My supply is limited, so it’s first-come, first-serve. Happy Thanksgiving.

I will post a story tomorrow morning that I think Ohio State fans will be interested in. Ryan Day discussed a topic in my book that he has mostly avoided regarding Michigan. It's for paid subscribers to my Substack, which you can access here: bit.ly/43NPXoz

Ohio State fans, I have a question for you. If you had to choose, which would you prefer - a win over Michigan on Saturday or repeating as national champion? Go to my Substack to participate in the poll. It's open to everyone, not just subscribers. The link is below.

I have a "Buckeye Brotherhood" book signing tomorrow (Sunday) at the Lennox Barnes & Noble bookstore. The store has assured me it has ordered enough hardcover books for the signing, but pretty soon only paperback versions will be available. I'd love to see you there.
