Spring rosters are set: Cardale Jones will quarterback the scarlet team with red-shirt freshman J.T. Barrett calling signals for the gray.
- Jones’ cache of offensive talent is highlighted by RBs Ezekiel Elliott and Curtis Samuel and WRs Devin Smith, Dontre Wilson and Corey Smith.
- Barrett will work with a skill set that includes RBs Bri’onte Dunn and Warren Ball, WRs Michael Thomas and Johnny Dixon, and TE Nick Vannett

I got Scarlet

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Scarlet gets 4/5 OL starters, just missing Elflein

Grey gets all 4 starting DBs + Conley

Everything else seems pretty even.

Definitely Scarlet with the starting OL and Cardale. Plus he has Dontre, Samuel, EzE, Corey Smith, and Devin Smith? I don't think they could have loaded up the Scarlet team anymore but perhaps that gets negated somewhat by the starting DBs on Gray. Also, curious that they put Lisle and Baldwin on the same team since they are competing for that spot.

I'm also really excited to see what Collier does out there...not expecting much considering how young he is, but just his tangible abilities.

Apparently big news could be coming in response to the ridiculous $20 ticket price for tomorrow's spring game according to Shelley Meyer.

@markpantoni It would be packed had tOSU not decided to get greedy and charge 20 a ticket. Bad move by the administration.

Shelley meyer ‏@spinnershells 1h
@MEATBAT24 @markpantoni Stay tuned for a huge announcement re: that very issue...should b released soon. I will tweet as soon as I can!

It's probably nothing major.

I can't see Ohio State dropping prices for anything football or men's basketball related (under this administration/BOT).

Spring Game prices lowered to $5; parking free http://m.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/m/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/041114aab.html…

This really just tells me that the initial plan of $12/$20 was somewhat misguided.

Even though it's a scrimmage, it'll always look better (from many standpoints) with a full stadium. But the attendance has to do with weather in a lot of cases.

Those prices will get you a donor banner

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

That's huge. As long as word gets out (maybe they should have announced a week before and not a day before?), i could see attendance go from what I thought would be maybe 40k to as high as 80k. Let's hope for a great turnout.

Edit: And what about people who already spent $12? kinda BS

I'm still laughing that when I went to Friday Night Lights last summer, OSU was charging for parking (for a summer football clinic). But it's OSU, so I kinda expected it while driving there.

Good they aren't charging for parking Saturday.

Yep just saw that elsewhere. Thanks though.

Unrelated picture of our athletic director who continues to do a fantastic job.

He's doing a great job. Do you realize how hard it was for him to cut to 141 lbs. over the winter?

I hope the stadium gets more attendance, but OSU didn't really give a lot of time to get the word out on the cheaper tickets. It still will though.
