You may not want to hear from an Illini fan at this time, but I just wanted to send a message out on how I think you have the best fans and stadium in the world. It was my first trip to Columbus and the "Shoe" and cannot tell you how impressed I was with your fans and the whole gameday experience.
Your fans define class and the experience has changed me as a fan. Thanks to all of you for being so gracious.

Now go out and beat Michigan!

Appreciate you coming on here and saying that. Usually you only hear the bad stuff that happens to folks and them bitching about it. So, glad to hear of your positive experience at The Shoe. Buckeyes fans will always welcome rival fans that come to have a positive experience and enjoy themselves. Good luck to your team for the rest of the season, they are an excellent team (as they proved) and we will be rooting for them in their Bowl Game.

I was at Hineygate after the loss and there was a buckeye fan that gave his #90 scarlet jersey to an Illinois fan. He said, "you just beat the number 1 team in the country, enjoy your night. Hopefully no one will harrass you if you are wearing this". He took his picture with his Illinois hat and buckeyes jersey with all the people around. It was pretty cool.

It Would Not Have Been An Important Moment Without A Camera-Phone Picture [Thoughts From Visiting The Shoe]

Why I took this picture I have no idea. I never remember or care to use the crappy camera on my phone and I probably won?t ever look at this shot again. Hooray technological progress, I guess.
Some thoughts from a visit to Columbus, in no particular order?
Before the game, we were pretty much ignored by what I expected to be an obnoxious Ohio State fanbase; turns out they didn't live up to the hype. I mean this is the best way possible. It wasn't an arrogant disregard, but more like the reception you get when walking down the street of a crowded city. Not what I anticipated when reading comments like these at Mike's guest post on 11W..

I totally agree with this statement from the above link:

Scarlet Fever (aka the red-out) was about as lame as it sounds. On top of not really looking like a sea of anything but Midwestern football fans, they took it a step further and handed out red and white terrible towels (ok, probably not their official name) to maybe 20% of the people in attendance. Ohio State has great fans and an energetic stadium, I don't know why they feel the need to try out all these gimmicks.

I am very proud of the Buckeye faithful after reading not only that, but the comments following the article. Every fan had nice things to say about our fans, the crowd noise etc. Its seems that Buckeye fans were on their best behavior. Very nice to hear.
