I went in 2003 and they were good then and about 1,000 people came

that sounds about right....Miami is notorious for having bandwagon fans, and I can't imagine a spring game draws much excitement.

I'll never forget being in Tempe when tOSU beat Miami in the Championship. We're entering the game and a Miami fan obnoxiously says "this stadium sucks, you can't even move". My brother turns to him and says "this is what a sellout looks like. You're not in Miami anymore."

I know this is going off topic....but as long as I bring up the obnoxious Miami fan, I wanted to bring up one of my most vivid memories of that game.

It was about 10 minutes before kick-off and Ohio State owns 90% of the stadium. That isn't even close to an exagerration, Miami just doesn't travel and have the alumni base, so it was a home game away from the Shoe for tOSU.

Anyways, as I'm sure many others have seen at the Shoe, once he O-H-I-O chant starts going around the stadium, it's almost comical watchimng opposing teams and there reaction.

Anyways, I might be the luckiest person on earth, as my first tOSU game was the Championship game, and the chant started and the stadium was electric. I will never ever forget, watching Miami players literally doing 360 degree turns following the chant going around the stadium. It was as if they had just realized they were definately facing a 12th man.

I also remeber, pre-kickoff, a Miami fan saying the crowd means zero.....Nebraska owned the stadium last year as well and we shut them up in the first quarter.

Regardless, I will always remember the crowd, and always remember Ohio State answering Miami early in the game after falling behind....almost metaphorically saying, we just took your best punch, now the game is on.

Unreal night....

Don't make me out you two in timeout. :lol:

The rumor mill is also another good place for tidbits. If you're not set up there already, drop me a line by private mesage and I'll walk you through it.

As far as timing, rumblings will now start rolling in. The most informative part of spring is about a week before the spring game. They hold the jersey scrimmage, where the offense and defense square off to earn the right to wear home colors for practices and scrimmages until the fall jersey scrimmage... Not to mention bragging rights.

This is also the best test of the spring as the teams are not split up. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd team O and D rotate. It is also closed to the public so coaches are more liberal with the playbook.

The spring game is a great finale, but it is more fun and for the fans. With split squads (especially OL) and the typical depth on D (upfront), the offense usually struggles a bit more.

Corner will be the main event this spring, imo... With the three departures and only one returning veteran. Rb probably would be another if berry were on campus.

. If he bumps into a FSU player its probably b/c there're running for the law or the NCAA

That's funny. But sounds like FSU is coming hard at him. Telling him he's gonna be the face of their class, although I dunno if that's exactly something to be excited about right now.

as an FSU grad myself, I can see the point. FSU isn't exactly looking like the cleanest program in the country right now....

Genron, will the loss of scholarships at FSU play a role at all? It's going to be hard to compete with upper-echelon schools with fewer scholarship players.
