Ohio Stadium has never had an atmosphere like the one Penn State had two years ago, it was unreal. For this reason alone, I think that all the edge's we have can be thrown out the window. I completely agree with the write-up, which is always well done, and on a neutral field I agree with the advantages. But I felt like the crowd in 2005 affected the football game like none other I've ever seen before.

The last game of the season, every other year at Ohio Stadium has a crowd that far surpasses Penn State's white out! Espically last year, when #1 Ohio State faced #2 Michigan. That game had the look and feel of a national championship game. Penn State's "white out" was very nicely planned (and it was executed very well), however, to suggest that Ohio Stadium has never seen an atmoshpere like Penn State's misses the mark a little.

Although JoPa has been trying to build a rivalry with Ohio State (along with Glen Mason, Wisconsin (where the fans use to throw marshmellows filled w/coins at the players, and Illinois), the Buckeyes chief rival is Michigan and the only collegiate atmosphere to rival "the game" lies in the deep south in the state of Alabama.
