OSU Football

Our first OSU Football Season was AMAZING! Back in the summer we were put on a student ticket waiting list. When we first got to OSU we went to the ticket office and asked them if they were going to open up anymore student season tickets, they told us no. So, we looked online all the time for season tickets but they ranged from $1,000-$4,000 for TICKETS! Crazy, huh? Well we got really lucky - during the first week of school, Tyson got an email from the ticket office saying they opened up more student tickets. So Tyson hurried and called and got us two tickets - and he went and picked them up. We were stoked! Little did we know we really got LUCKY! We just happened to get FRONT ROW SEATS on the south end zone! Our seats could not have been any better and we could not have gotten any closer to the field. It was great! We got tickets for all four of our home games: Minnesota, Purdue, PENN State, and Our #1 Rival Michigan. I took a gazillion pictures every game, but I will spare you all with a few of our favorites!

This is the view from the top of stairs of our seating section - we however got to walk all the way down to sit in our front row seats. The stadium really is amazing!

Our game against PENN State was at night - because it was on ESPN for all to see. That was great. It was super hyped and we have never seen so many people in our lives go to a football game. We sadly lost - but it was close.

Our football team. We are happy to say that we were BIG 10 2008 Championship.

One of the best part of the games was the "before" the game started and "half-time" shows, because that's when our band would preform and they were so good. Our seats were so fun for this as well - because when the band did come out they started out on the North side of the stadium so they would march towards up - they were so entertaining and REALLY good. Perhaps that's why they are called the "TBDBITL".

Also when we played PENN State - ESPN Game Day came! Lee Corso even predicted that we would win the game by of course putting on our mascot head (too bad we lost)! All you ESPN'ers know what we are taking about - and for those of you who don't get it - shame on you! You should be watching more ESPN! Game Day was cool. We stopped by the ESPN Game Day traveling bus on our way to the stadium. This was our favorite game by far.

Need I say more?

The only game we did not go to was our RIVAL game against MICHIGAN. We never knew the hatred these two teams had for one another until we obviously moved here. There is even a song about how much we hate MICHIGAN, it's quite humorous! We sold our tickets for that game and we were happy about that, because we knew we'd beat them and because it was only like 5 degrees outside, so we watched the game from our cozy warm home and we won. We loved the football season! All the games were a blast. We are excited for next season - we can only hope that we get as good of tickets as we did this season! Until next season...GO BUCKEYES!
