Ticket Update: Buckeyes could be walking into a Utes' nest at the Rose Bowl

Ohio State could be walking into a hostile environment when it takes the field against Utah in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.

According to an OSU spokesman, the university received an allotment of 20,000 tickets for the game. But OSU had only sold 13,000 and returned the rest of that inventory to the bowl.

Conversely, a Utah spokesman said his school was originally allotted 27,800. But Utah, after capturing its first Pac-12 championship and earning its first trip to play in the Rose Bowl, had sold as many as 31,000 tickets to its Crimson Club members. Utah now is offering tickets to the general public. Speaking on a radio show on Monday, Utah athletic director Mark Harlan offered an educated guess there could be 60,000 Utah fans at the Rose Bowl.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will occupy the west sideline (press box side) and have their colors painted in the north end zone, while the Utah Utes will occupy the east sideline and have their colors painted in the south end zone. (Check out the seating map below.)

Majority of betting money favors Buckeyes in Rose Bowl

Ohio State enters the Rose Bowl with plenty to play for, even though it can’t win a national title.

The Buckeyes will head to Southern California to take on Utah in a massive clash, and the money on the game is beginning to flow in. The public money? It’s on the Buckeyes.

So far, 61 percent of the public money is on Ohio State to beat Utah in the Rose Bowl, according to The Action Network. The Buckeyes are a 6.5-point favorite as of Thursday afternoon.

Ohio State is just 1-3 in its last four games against the spread, but it is 4-1 overall in its last five games.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas
by
Major Henry Livingston Jr. (1748-1828)
(previously believed to be by Clement Clarke Moore)


'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

Until recently it was believed that this ballad was written in 1822 for Clement Clarke Moore's two daughters, Margaret and Charity, and later anonymously published in the Troy [New York] Sentinel on December 23, 1823. But, according to University of Toronto English Library, in 2000, Don Foster, in his book Author Unknown: On the Trail of Anonymous (New York: Henry Holt, 2000), was able to demonstrate that Moore could not have been the author. Foster concluded that it was probably written by Major Henry Livingston Jr. For another analysis of the authorship see Christmas (Moore or Less?).

Visit A Mouse in Henry Livingston's House for a biography and an account of the quest to correct the authorship of this poem.

According to sources cited at University of Toronto English Library, the last two reindeer were origianlly Dunder and Blixem and were "[l]ater revised to 'Donder and Blitzen' by Clement Clarke Moore when he took credit for the poem in Poems (New York: Bartlett and Welford, 1844)."
