Ok, a little report from behind the lines....

I flew into Austin around 11:00 AM local time, the plane was about 40% Buckeye fans. We checked into our hotel and went downtown to check out campus, 6th street, etc. On 6th Street there is an apartment complex in which one of the tenants must be an Ohio State fan, because he drapped a giant "GO BUCKS!" banner over his balcony, with a giant inflatable Brutus sitting in a lawn chair. That was cool. Plenty of Buckeye fans down here. We went up Guadalupe (felt eerily similar to High Street - what I guess is the main drag on UT's campus - honestly, like a mirror image of High, they even have a Pita Pit!). We saw the state capitol building, which was cool...nothing but Buckeye fans there. And, we walked around the stadium, where Longhorn fans and a few Buckeye fans are setting up their tailgates. Whenever I'm not partying or whatnot, I'll bring you guys more reports.

After watching last weekend's game, I'm a little nervous about this one. My prediction is that UT's running game will control our defense in light of our poor run-stopping last week. I think our offense will look really good at times and will put some points on the board, but I also think we'll sputter at times as we've been prone to do, and Chizik's defense will do just enough to allow UT to outscore us. My prediction: UT 28, OSU 24.

Funny thing is that if this game were at home and considering the fact that it's McCoy's first game against a legitimate I-A opponent, I'd have us winning by 10.

Please let me be wrong.

Welcome to Austin

Hey buckeyes. Greetings from Austin. I hope everyone who comes down has a great time and you enjoy yourself. We have a groovy little town waiting for you...as well as a bad ass football team :wink:.

I've told all my friends that Buckeye fans are the noblest and most educated I know of and I look forward to this weekend. I'm buying drinks for buckeye fans I meet....unless of course Texas loses in which case I'll stay home an wallow in despair for a few hours.

Enjoy Austin and welcome.

PS If you hit 6th street for some partying and meet a homeless guy wearing women's lingerie (he favors a leopard t-back) he's cool. His name is Leslie and he's an icon of Austin. Ran for mayor once. Didn't go so well for him.

Peace

20,000 OSU fans in the stands

The ticket brokers in Austin have said that so far they have sold 15,000 tickets to OSU fans. They anticipate an OSU crowd of 20,000 in the stadium at kickoff.
