Heck, if he takes this thing the distance he will only have been here a couple of weeks. I would be impressed at that point if he just knew everyones name.

IF Pryor was at OSU for the spring game, the attendance would approach 100,000. The hype for the spring game alone would be amazing. Not just because of Pryor, but also because of the other freshmen that would be playing (Adams, Stoney, Sweat, Sabino, Shugarts) and all the juniors that returned.

If the weather is great, OSU will have more in attendance than Alabama had last season. The south stands definitely need to be opened this year.

I'd say it hinges on the weather just as much as Pryor. Watching a glorified practice in the rain is a much harder sell than spending a nice day outside. Especially when that practice is televised. I remember a few years ago when it rained the attendance wasn't quite as good as other years.

Yeah, last year TBDBITL was in mid season form at the spring game. I'm getting the chills just thinking about it.

Found this post about the spring game on a blog I check out sometimes:

practice?!?!? | the pool party suite

If you check out some of the links, they have a couple graphs of some of the more heavily attended spring games of 06 and 07. OSU was the 2nd highest attended of 07, behind Alabama and new coach Nick Saban, and the best attended of 06, even with the rain.

'Bama's was free. Our figures, I believe, only counted paid attendance. Children six and under attend free. Does anyone know how many the South Endzone holds? It was packed the rest of the way around The 'Shoe. I didn't think the SE would hold 35,000.

people don't site "hip to hip" with the general admission like they do at regular games, I would venture that even if the shoe - SS seemed full it would only be 65-70k
