I know people are sick of answering this one, but what's a good streaming site? Don't have BTN (or cable). I'm using Sling for the four letter, but need a stream for tomorrow. I really want to witness the impending massacre!

So, first time taking one of the kids to a Buckeye game tomorrow... Usually we are in the bus lots all day, but that tradition is on hold this year... What are some kid-friendly things to do near the stadium ahead of time? Skull Session seems like a must for a first-timer, so what else? Isn't there someplace with like bounce houses and/or other family activities? I'll hang up and listen.

First game I took my son to we walked through Buckeye Grove. He still asks me every year if anyone new is going to get a tree.

I've been having good luck with http://streamhunter.tv.

It's not HD, but it gets the job done. Just as a heads up, don't download anything (even if it says you have to) and be ready to defend a couple popups.

Alumni and current cheerleaders will be getting warmed up in the grassy knoll in between St John and the Stadium at 2pm...

For those that don't know the history/tradition of the Buckeye Grove:

buckeye-grove-knowlton.jpg.pagespeed.ce.kDWJCkVudt.jpg


Since 1929, Buckeye Trees have been planted in Buckeye Grove, located outside the southwest corner of Ohio Stadium, to honor each OSU All-American football player. Each tree is designated with a plaque denoting the honored player. Ohio Staters, Inc., a student service organization committed to promoting the welfare and traditions of the Ohio State University, has maintained Buckeye Grove since 1955. New trees are planted prior to the annual Spring Game in April.

How exactly does an Ohio State football star get a tree in Buckeye Grove?

IIRC, those things are usually right outside of St. John, on the stadium side.

Yeah, though the selection of activities there may not be that interesting to most people (I certainly don't think you will see any bounce houses). Skull Session is the only pregame event that OSU puts on, there tends to be a crowd of people lining the path that the players walk from St. John Arena to the stadium (I believe they leave SS early), and then once again the same path for the band as they march from SJA to the stadium. I will add that if you are walking in from South of the stadium and want to stroll through the Buckeye Grove, you should do that before going to Skull Session because Buckeye Grove is on the south end of the stadium and Skull Session is a block north of the stadium.
