By now you have seen the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Some of the city was able to be rebuilt and continue the recovery. Other parts are laying in wait hoping the anyone would come to lend a hand.
One of those parts was the Rosenwald Boys & Girls Club. Part of the facility, with help from the NFL, was brought back with the Saints returning. However the baseball and t-ball fields were left untouched. That was until a unlikely union took place.
For ten years, Ohio State has been doing community service in the city that hosts the bowl game they are going to. Ironically the Sugar Bowl was their first stop. What they also do is invite the opponent, in this case LSU, to join them. Over 500 people came together to rebuild the fields, plant a new garden, and even make some blankets for the homeless. Seeing all this reminds you that there is still good in people in this world. And that Tigers & Buckeyes can leave their mark without playing a single snap.
