Fight On! SC, Buckeyes in 3D

[dabrockster]

I am going as well. My brother and I are heading out for that one. Should be good. Any suggestions on pre-game stuff? What do luckeye fans do the night before the game or day of? Any pep rallies, band concerts, etc that visiting fans should check out?

What about the O-Line? I thought there were some question marks there. DIdn't some kid get hurt recently (not the Florida head punch)? Armstead? I had heard that parts of the line caved during practice against the pass-rush, giving up something like 6 sacks. Yikes.

I think Everson Griffin is going to go wild against osu if the buckeye line performs as it has in practice.

The OL has sucked for years now. It is my hot button topic. Last year our OL was all senior laden and a bunch of arrogant fat-tards. And would get their panties in a bunch when they were called out. This year they are all gone so I have hope this OL will have more of a mean streak but I have my doubts..

As for Day before I do not know of anything. GameDay though all you need to do is be on Lane Avenue for all the stuff. But if you are going to be there early I HIGHLY recommend you go to St. Johns Arena where the band plays and Tressel makes an apperance before the game. That place will be filled to the top and it is very cool to be inside and feel the energy.. I'll see if I can find out when it happens.

DO NOT!! I repeat DO NOT go anywhere near High St. or that side of the University. You want to stay on the West side.. and most of the functions are right there on Lane Avenue by the stadium.

I can give you more details as well.

I am going with my FIL: And he is a Agriculture Alumn so we have some tailgate function he has to go to.. It not the best person I wanted to go with but he has the tickets...

If a team is not going 100% in practice then they will most likely not go 100% in games.

It was a glorified PR practice at night for fans.. I didn't expect much of 100% in it for all the press to see and media... They did show some interesting trick plays that I had not seen before (Even from last year) and placing people in certain positions raised my eye brows but I will leave that to myself..


Plus: Tressell is by far the worst innovative coach out there. He is well known for not trying anything new or trickery.. So it probably won't happen anyway..

Yes, please. As much as possible.

Why do you suggest we not go to that particular side of campus? Is there any nudity (so I can be sure to avoid it)?

Is Lane Avenue on/near campus?

keep in mind, I am coming from far far away on judeas plains, so I need as much detail as possible. thanks.

that rally thing sounds perfect. exactly the stuff I like to take in when visiting a new stadium.

Also, do the Buckeyes do any sort of team fireside the night before?

Here you go: He was in Florida to celebrate his Grandparents anniversary or something and went to "Gators" which is a Bar in Treasure Island, FL.

So where does it say he was a Florida fan? That sucks for this guy though. Looks like it is pretty messed up what happened to him.

LOL: Sorry the Team Fireside got a good chuckle out of me.. Sorry that does not happen.

Stay clear of East of the Stadium due to your safety. It is near Sorority row and all other slum complexes (Mostly Big homes converted to multiple apartments etc) on that side. It is where all the drunks, idiots, very aggressive students, NON-Students hang before the game.. It is where couches get lit on fire after games and where everything is littered with trash. It is not ideal. If you want to take it in I suggest you drive down High St in a Car and then turn onto Lane Avenue towards the Stadium on Friday Afternoon and that evening will be fine just don't wear any SC clothes.

Now, Ohio State has made an effort to change the area some and tried to create their own little "Georgetown effect" (Nice outside mall like atmosphere with food places etc), but since the Slum Lords refuse to let go of their land and homes it will remain the same.. It is very ghetto and in fact can be very dangerous at night (Shootings happen frequently near there)..

It may take some times but I can get you more info. An Agenda of sorts that might be helpful..

There was an article I had yesterday that had the actual eye witness account and it spoke about this, but I cannot find it..

It is fairly hard not to think that he isn't. They were at "Gators" Bar, he brought up he was a Ohio State Football player before the actual assault.. I mean. Look at the links below..

I would camp out in front of the Blackwell hotel (it's where the team stays the night before and is about 200 yards from the stadium) and protest over the fact that the hotel is named after someone who is in jail for insider trading. Really do it up.

Also make sure you get picture of yourself with the stain glass football scenes on the North side of the stadium. At night the light them up. It's like the temple of Woody Hayes.

One of the first things I will do on campus is head over to the weight room and take pics of the bench presses and machines where St. Pelagiu$ is rumored to have exercised. Do I have to wear booties or some special head covering?

I didn't workout on campus ... Here is my old gym ... You can stop by my old office since the business school is kitty corner to the stadium.

What was the office number? I'd like to at least touch your doorknob. (not THAT, sickos!!)

You skipped straight to the office ... at the very least you could have taken the virtual tour of my old YMCA and took a gander at the weight room

When were you at Ohio State? What Ward did you attend??

No, I lived right by the temple ... the hilltop Y was just the closest gym

A picture of the Sistine is just that....a picture.

I am going to be in Ohio in a few weeks. No need for virtual tours when I can experience the real thing.
