I don't see how that thread went on as long as it did. Everybody else realizes that the Alabama we beat was not the Alabama of old. As for his point about OSU not necessarily being the best team in the country, that's true. They haven't played any games yet, so who the heck knows? Without a playoff, even after 12 games we won't necessarily know, but that's a different topic. Don't remind us about Akron, we'd just like to forget and pretend it never happened. :( Akron game? What Akron game?

Question for Buckeye fans:

I have seats in 31B, Rows 29 and 30 for the NIU-OSU game. Exactly how bad are these seats?!! From the Seating Diagram, they look pretty bad!

Hey! You're in Ohio Stadium: the greatest building ever created. Don't complain.

It sounds like you're in the visitor's section of the open end. You won't have a post in your way. You'll be able to see the whole field. But you won't find any trade offers from anyone with seats in sections 13-18.

(By the way, Ohio Stadium was created, not built. God reached down to the earth and said, "Let there be awesome!" And Ohio Stadium sprout up from the soil, with Woody's teachings already echoing throughout - despite that he wouldn't be there for about 30 more years.)

I had section B seats when I was a Freshman. I had a pillar and a scoreboard obstructing my view. Now(Junior) I got A/AA seats.

huskiebob has 31B, which is in the nosebleed section of the open end under the Jumbotron. Not great, but it's better than being behind a pillar and underneath the overhang from C deck in the older section of the stadium.

It's also better that the game is in the afternoon in early September. I would absolutely not want huskiebob's seats for a 3:30 game in late October or November, when it's 70 and sunny at kickoff, then 35 and frigid once the wind starts whipping and the sun goes down.

Which brings to mind the old story about Bo Schembechler arriving at the pearly gates after his death, to hear of his judgment and what would be his lot. :evil:

As he waited in line, he looked through the gates. There was Ohio Stadium! It was snowing like crazy and the crowd went wild as the Buckeyes rammed across the two-point conversion.

Bo's heart sunk as he looked at the scoreboard. Ohio State 120 - Michigan 0. Then, he saw something that amazed him, there was Woody Hayes, in short sleeves, tearing up the yard markers, and pushing his team forward in the snow.

The line advanced and the color ran out of Bo's face as St Peter opened the book to the chapter on Bo's life. As St. Peter took a breath, Bo asked if he might ask a question. How in the hell did Woody Hayes get into heaven?

"Well, Bo, you see Woody's here but that's not him coaching today. That's God, He just thinks He's Woody Hayes."

Bo suddenly realized that hell might be something worse than fire and brimstone. :slappy:

I have to admit, one good thing about Huskie stadium is that there are no bad seats. There aren't even any end zone seats. So you get a good view no matter where you are. And the prices are reasonable. It kind of makes it look like a large high school stadium though.
