Wow, what a GREAT first Horseshoe experience!

Not that we need it, but you will be a good luck charm for the team.

You will never forget your first view of the field when you get inside the stadium.

Have a great time!

Go Bucks!

Brother called me this morning... his buddy can't make it to the game so he has an extra ticket and it is ALL MINE!!!

AA Sec 5 Row 5 (or something like that, I kinda got excited and such)

I have been to the Shoe many games, but never for a 'real' game as I always got non-conference games and/or the Northwestern's of the world.

Well, not technically my first time there. When I was a freshman we did the 'ol orientation walk through the Shoe, and I went to the Spring game in '05. I was in Morrill Tower as a freshman and I'm beginning to recall a drunken run through the stands one night as well :wink2:

27A row 4. Wave!

That's kind of sick. Georgia Tech averaged 35 yards a play...without passing. And only had 28 plays, and scored on 20 of them. To see something like this would have been sick to watch. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this game is a little bit closer. I love close games, they are fun...plus Tressel is good in close games. Penn State hasn't had a close game, we've had a couple this year, and that will pay off if this one is close. The Shoe is going to be amazing. This is the most excited i've been for a non Michigan home game, maybe ever. Texas was big...but I have much more contempt for Penn State...I'd love to ruin their perfect season, and win the Big Ten by going right thru them.

My wife went to GT so we've talked about that game a couple of times. I looked up the details. Turns out that Cumberland had cancelled their football program the year before. They had a contract with GT which said something like that if they pulled they would owe GT like $5000 or something. So they got together a few fraternity guys, tossed the ball around a bit and went on to play GT, who had one of the best programs in the country at the time. It was probably a lot fun for both teams, because I doubt the Cumberland guys really cared.

Back on topic,

It looks like the Buckeys are in an odd situation at the moment that win or loose this weekend, they have a good shot at making it to the Rose Bowl. Win and win out and it's outright BT champs, but a lot of help needed for a NCG birth, so it's likely the Rose. Loose (at least loose close) and State Penn gets the inside track to the NCG, likely taking up a spot that USC would otherwise take (assuming both teams also win out). USC goes to the Rose Bowl and the Rose Bowl committee will likely pick the re-match and tOSU gets an at-large. Interesting eh?

I think much of the outcome of this game will be determined by momentum and in the players' heads.

Penn State has struggled offensively really only against Purdue and they haven't faced a defense as good as Ohio State. If they struggle early, will they begin to question how good they really are? If they score early, will they believe this truly is their year to beat the streaks against Ohio State and TSUN and win that NC to send JoePa into the sunset?

Ohio State has gone through a real drought offensively. Were four touchdowns early last week the sign of a team ready to dominate? If they score early, will they believe that four touchdowns were an exorcism last week? If they are stopped, will they just think last week was about a bad opponent and not a changing Buckeye offense.

I am not sure how rain affects the outcome of this game but I like the Buckeyes on the ground and on D.

I think we can win.
