Ya boy Big Woof might be making his way up to this game to hang out with my BiL and some of his friends that I played golf with this summer.
Seems like the "Get in Price" is about $180 which isn't terrible.

Since this game is a noon - is there a BW3's close by where I can catch the UGA/Auburn game at the conclusion of this game?

Wrong weekend Woof. You play aTm that week.

On second thought - are you looking at tickets for the correct weekend? $180 seems cheap.

I was going off Stub Hub. I imagine the vantage point aint gonna be that great and could be downright miserable if its another rainy Saturday.
Honestly, if its bad, I might be talked into camping out at the bar and staying dry and warm.

THE POWERS THAT BE ARE SLOTTING OHIO STATE'S MOST IMPORTANT GAMES AT NOON FOR THE SAKE OF RATINGS, AND IT HAS TO STOP

Noon games are bad.

Noon games are bad.

They're bad for students who blew off a little too much steam on Friday night. They make that Saturday morning alarm clock more unwelcome than... well, noon games.

They're bad for us olds trying to squeeze in some errands before the game, or even better, a precious round of golf as the whispers of winter approach.

They're bad for tailgaters who are forced to wake up before the rooster in order to prep for the day's festivities, which will inevitably be cut short because of a criminally bad deadline. In the same light, they're bad for any non-local ticket holder with any legitimate driving to do that morning.

They're bad for any Ohio State fan unfortunate enough to live west of Texas. They have to take the first quarter in while finishing breakfast.

But most importantly, they're bad because they diminish the host team's home-field advantage. And that's why I hate Fox's recent power move into the noon time slot so much.

In preparation of the 2019 season, Fox made a big push to improve its college football presence. The network hired former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer to join host Rob Stone and fellow panelists Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart and Brady Quinn for the Big Noon Kickoff — a fantastic pregame show that has been an unquestioned hit.

Fox also wanted to close the gap between ESPN and CBS in the game-time ratings race. The world-wide leader has a stranglehold on the primetime slot (7:30 - 8:00 games) while CBS historically features marquee SEC games at 3:30.

That left Fox with the noon slate, and the network went all in to put the most high-profile games it had contractual rights to in the worst possible slot. And of course, the crown jewel of Fox's broadcast candidates is Ohio State.

Because of that, the Buckeyes' most important home games of the season have been slotted for noon. That is dumb and bad.

I'm all for noon home games!!!
