Rewatching 2012 game and Kenny G bringing the magic. Speaking of magic, that 2pt conversion play to get to OT needs a revisit.

I was in 26C that game, I remember the mass exodus of so-called fans (kind of reminds me of some posters on here when the bucks aren't winning by 40) in the 4th quarter. I remember looking out past the south stands to see the queue of these losers filling the bridge over the Olentangy. Then Kenny G. took over! When the TD was scored to get them within a 2 point conversion away from tying it, the cheers did had a Pied piper effect with the deserters turning en masse and running to get back to the stadium. Ye of little faith.

Something I'll never forget

Not Purdue related, so I'll keep it short: similar thing happened vs LSU in '88. Cooper, in his first year, was asked about the fans, most of whom abandoned hope with several minutes left. He said something about, "the fans were great, especially the 20,000 that stayed".

I don't know how many stayed. I'm not sure if 20k is the number Coop cited. I do know three things for sure: 1) It was a heck of a lot fewer than the tv coverage made it look (YouTube it, they used weird camera angles to make the stadium look almost full. It was freakin' deserted.) 2) The nearest guy to me and I both had to run 10 yards so that we could high-5 each other when Bobby Olive caught the game-winner. 3) The few who stayed were the 3rd loudest crowd I've ever been a part of at Ohio Stadium (85 Iowa #1, 84 Illinois #2).

Yup. Was at that game. It was miserably wet. I left with the hoard to get dry in my room in Morrill. Called home and my dad yelled at me. Told me to get my ass back in the stadium. Can’t recall exactly how much time was left, but watched the last few minutes from the track near the SW entrance. Glad I went back. Haven’t left a game early since.

Also missed Aerosmith encore of Sweet Emotion my sophomore year of HS because I left before the house lights. Have learned that lesson as well.

'85 Iowa remains to this very day the best gift (of countless gifts) the Buckeyes have ever given this particular fan.

I was older than Ralphie when it happened but it was my Red Rider Range Model Air Rifle of Buckeye wins.

Big 'ol compass in the stock

smile every time I think of it

I didn't know about that quote from Coop. What I will say is that, yes... a bunch of people left the game, and I was one of them... It was shitty cold and wet, so you'll have that sometimes. But sure as shit, when I got back to the field, there were a LOT of people still left. Absent the weather, I don't know that there would have been such a departure.

That said, my seats my frosh year were in Block-O. Before the 'Cuse game (first home game) that hill-jack came up to Block-O to rally the troops. Now, looking back, I appreciate the gesture. Back then, however, I was a 17-year old frosh from North West BFE Ohio and recognized the guy for being a hick in all of 30-seconds. He never caught a break from me. I was still pretty salty about Earle... and frankly, to this day, I'm not sure that I've gotten past that.

Maybe a lot of people where you were, but the north end of c deck was a ghost town

Sure, it was a wet day, but not nearly as cold as many others I’ve been to

Long story short; DH is exactly the kind of qb that Ohio state fans should never give up on, and this Saturday night that’s not likely to be an issue anyway
