The recruits sit in 17AA, they get crammed in the first couple rows.
The recruits do not have to pay for their ticket. They are invited to the game by tOSU and they receive 3 tickets total, 1 for them and 2 more for their guests.
Now with putting their name up on the big screen i think that would break a rule or something, since I have never seen that done.
My first OSU scum game was in 2002, man what a game. Steve took me as one of his guest. On the feild we met David Justice, which was pretty cool. The OSU scum game is a great time to have the "big name" recruits there. They have a great chance at meeting Bucks who are in the NFL along with other celebs.
Another cool thing was when the Bucks opened their season with the Huskies. As Steve and I were walking to our seats from the recruiting room, we crossed paths with Eddie George. Eddie saw our name tags (recruits get name tags to wear(it is pretty much an all access pass)) and was telling Steve how great it was to play at tOSU and how he should become a Buckeye. After that Steve told him that he already committed,and all of a sudden it was just we were part of the family. Eddie George is a class act. Hope he gets a chance to be at the game and talk to some of the recruits.
Sorry that was so long, i just got to rambling.
