Great day to be a Buckeye
You can't have the kind of success we've had during this decade and not be spoiled. I think most of us expect nothing less than the Big 10 title and a shot at the NC pretty much every year. With the talent JT is collecting, I don't see that changing any time soon.
Does that translate into a lack of enthusiasm from the fans? I think we all know there will always be some stick-in-the-muds at games. But for the most part, Buckeye fans are pretty darn passionate. I was at the MSU game last year and I thought the pregame atmosphere was awesome. But the game itself was scary toward the end with the way our Offense fell apart. Those types of games it's hard to fault the crowd too much. When we were on D, most people were pretty loud. On O it was like the crowd was collectively holding their breath at the end. Just depends on the type of game.
Now is the crowd much quieter for the YSUs of the world? Of course. But I think the atmosphere is expected to be toned down for that type of game.
My brother was at the #1 vs. #2 scUM game a few years back and sat in the stuffy, midfield section with a client of his. Usually, he says those folks are very quiet. But he said the electicity in the stadium for that entire game was indescribable! He couldn't even hear himself talk. How could you not be standing and screaming the whole time?
I guess my point is, just because fans aren't standing and screaming the entire game, doesn't necessarily mean they're any less passionate about their Bucks! Just depends on the type of game.
And I have to say this as well...I've lived in quite a few different cities in my adult life and everywhere I've went, I've found passionate Buckeye fans! It might just be my experience, but the Buckeye fans I seem to meet aren't just casual rooters...they're die-hards! I love it!
As always,
It's a great time to be a Buckeye!
