Your In-Person Buckeye Record

Wingate1217

Bring on the next opponent!!
  • I know we have a thread detailing our personal OSU record since we have been born but I wanted to take it to the next level and discuss your Buckeye record while you were in the "Shoe", or cheering the Bucks in a hostile environment or at a neutral site.

    For me my record is:

    At Home 34-3 beginning with Indiana in '74 and ending with our recent victory over Cal.
    Away 2-0 wins over Missouri in 1997 and Iowa in 2000
    Neutral Site 1-0 Sugar Bowl Win over Arkansas (don't care if it was vacated)

    Through the years I witnessed in person:
    Lee Corso calling time out to take a picture with his team with the scoreboard in the background with his team leading. I believe the final score was 49-9 OSU.

    1980 The shoot out with David Wilson of the Illini with him lighting up our secondary for over 500+ yards and still losing....

    1982 Watching John Elways snatch victory from us by launching a laser guided pass, needled through 3 Buckeyes in the NW corner of the closed end of the stadium in the final moments.....

    1982 Sitting in the rain and watching a dismal performance in a 6-0 whitewash loss to Whisky

    1984 Seeing a young Chris Spielman come off the bench and sack the QB in his very first play as a Buckeye

    1985 Again watched Chris Spielman make a major impact as he stopped Ronny Harmon on a 4th and one deep in OSU territory to lead the Bucks to a shocking upset of #1 Iowa

    1990 Weathering a thunderstorm only to see our team lose to USC as Cooper pulled the team off the field in the 4th quarter because of lightning

    1992 Surviving a furious comeback by BGSU as Dan Wilkerson forced an errant pass to cement the win

    1995 Watching Eddie George completely re-write the record books with over 300 yards of rushing to the chants of EDDIE-EDDIE-EDDIE

    1997-First road game and screaming as "The Big Kat" planted Corby Jones into the turf

    2010 Watching the boys and TP scamble to beat the 'Canes in the 'shoe

    2010 Finally getting the SEC monkey off our backs....completly dominating the 'Hogs only to let them come back into the game. Finally sealed by a Solomon Thomas interception deep into the 4th quarter

    2012 Watching the inability of our defense to shut down CAL and relying on luck (3 missed field goals) and bone headed coaching decision by the Cal coach (not going for it on 4th and 1) and the talent of Mr. Braxton Miller to squeak by the Bears

    Overall I have a personal in person record of 37-3 witnessing losses in 1982 to Stanford and Whisky and USC in 1990. What is your record and favorite memories........
     
    Overall 7-2

    1-0 on the road
    6-1 at home
    0-1 in bowl games.

    losses were 2009 illinois at home and citrus bowl loss to tennecheat in the "long spikes" game

    Best memory was that road win, it was at indiana when we had orlando and the boys, the win clinched the Big10 title and we tore down their goal posts!
    As a 12 year old that was awesome and after storming the field I got to stand next to cooper during his post game interview and snuck into the hallway by the lockerroom and got probably 20 autographs

    The only game they've lost that I have attended was Wisconsin in 2001....I was working mids at the time and I was falling asleep in the stands during the 2nd half of the game :shake:

    otherwise every game (and it's like 23 out of 24) have been wins.

    3-1 overall, 2-0 in The Shoe and 1-1 on the road.

    My first in-person game ever was The Game in 2006. I sure picked a good one for my first live Buckeye game. Thrilling 42-39 win.

    First road game was the 2007 game against Washington in Seattle. Opposing fans were quite gracious, and that's where the infamous "O-H-H-O" tailgate photo was taken (with me, BB73, sushi, and her hubby). 33-14 win, with Brandon Saine breaking free for a TD on the last play of the game.

    Second road game was the 2008 debacle at USC. Not much positive aside from the USC fans being surprisingly friendly and getting to spend a couple days with my oldest daughter as she lived in LA.

    Second home game was The Game in 2008. Not only did I get to watch us smoke Michigan 42-7, I got to be in the Tunnel of Honor (was given an alum player's invite letter and got in).

    I've been to so many games that I've honestly lost count (6 years student tickets, known friends who's parents work(ed) at OSU before/after going ot OSU.

    I remember the losses: 2001 Illinois, *2003 (at scUM), 2004 Wisconsin, 2005 Texas, 2007 Illinois, 2009 USC

    I'd guess my overall record to be win in the high 50s and 6 losses

    If my memory is correct, during my OSU career we lost twice at home: 2004 Wisconsin and 2007 Illinois :lol:

    2003 Washington W, Lydell Ross show if I remember correctly

    2005 Texas L, Most incredible atmosphere I've ever been a part of

    2006 @ MSU W, Ted Ginn with his only PR of 2006

    2009 Fiesta Bowl against Texas L, Heartbreak in the Desert

    2009 Iowa W, Clinched the Rose Bowl

    2011 Sugar Bowl W, my favorite game I've attended. New Orleans is great

    2011 Wisconsin W, The Shoe at night never disappoints

    2012 Gator Bowl L, Had fun despite the game

    Overall 5-3
    Home 3-1
    Away 1-0
    Bowls 1-2

    Being in Georgia we don't get up to as many games as we'd like. Looking like we'll make it to the Michigan game this year though.

    I can't even begin to count the wins. I do know the losses though.

    1994 vs. Illinois
    1996 vs. Michigan (worst game ever, especially since I was hung over by halftime thanks to kegs n eggs)

    and that's it.

    I would have to guess I have attended somewhere around 45-50 games. The one game I actually missed in 1998 was the MSU game because I had to work. I didn't attend any games from 99-01, but starting going to games again in 2002 and beyond (including road games at MSU and Michigan). No losses in the games I went to.

    I'll just go with 43-2.
