Here was a post I had in the game thread:

I have a funny feeling OSU fans will not only out number Oregon fans (which I'm already expecting), but drastically out number them. Maybe like 65/35 or 70/30. Obviously this is just one website (see link below), and still pretty early, but they have traffic being 25% from Ohio and 19% from Oregon. That right there is 57% for OSU. Then factor in that Texas is actually closer to Ohio than it is for Oregon (and surprisingly much closer even though it's still far away for OSU, like twice as close for OSU), so nearby alum/fans will be closer to TX for OSU than for Oregon. Lastly, OSU obviously has many, many more fans, so even in TX there will be many more OSU fans than Oregon fans. If I'm an Oregon fan I'm hoping for a 55/45, maybe 60/40 split for OSU. But it could get crazy.

Edit: Here's another site that says their company (sounds like could be a small company though) had been fielding calls for packages at a 90/10 rate for OSU/Oregon.

I don't think it will be anywhere close, in fact I think 70/30 may be relatively safe. Simply looking at drive time/cost of airfare, Buckeye fans will make this one feel like a home game. Can't even put into words how excited I am to watch this team again Monday night. Productivity is likely to be awful in the Buckeye state on the 13th.

Heard today that Columbus schools were wanting to push Tuesday classes back a few hours.. not sure if true, but not the worst idea besides the fact that it's the largest baby sitting service in the city and may be putting some parents out who need to get to work.

Tuesday should be declared a statewide holiday

Let's not put the cart before the horse here...


And I'm not saying this confrontationally to anyone, but let's cut the holiday crap. Monday and Tuesday aren't going to be holidays. You know why?

Because this is Ohio State.

This is the fourth time in 13 years we're going to be in the National Championship Game. We've been here before... and if history is an indicator, we're going to keep being here in the future. It's just gonna be Monday and Tuesday at the office, y'all.

I still don't understand the reasoning in having thsee games on a Monday. Who is the idiot who thinks this is a good idea?

I think he just means so we don't have to go in to work on Tuesday. :wink:

Everyone watching at home rather than going to bars - or even a friends house- equals better television rating.

I'm fairly certain that's what Monday nights are all about.

Maybe I'm old or it's just because I'm employed but staying up until what will at least be 1:30 -2:00 in the morning and having to go to work the next day doesn't really appeal to me. If I didn't have a horse in the race I would be going to bed most likely around half time. The game should be on a weekend day.
