Texas Game- Rumor
I heard from a solid source today that a Texas Alumni has rented out a large porton of Hiney Gate. I am not exactly sure how this would happen, but it was said that a VERY large amount of money changed hands in order to meet his needs.
I can't imagine the amount of energy that will be put into play with a large amount of texas fans in a hostile environment.....may calm heads prevail!
Go Bucks!

i highly doubt that happened.
now riverwatch will rent out the back portion to visiting fan bases, but never in the 14 years that i've been going to osu have I ever heard of anything like that.

the last part of that article kills me 
Quote:
All that considered, however, I have no problem sitting here on May 31 and proclaiming, with utmost confidence: Texas will not win that game. That's right, folks, you heard it here first. Ohio State will beat Texas on Sept. 10.* This is nothing against the Longhorns -- who, as I'm sure you're already about to e-mail me and point out, I had ranked higher than the Buckeyes in my post-spring rankings. Texas is coming off an 11-1 season and returns 16 starters, so it deserves to start higher.
But I don't care who you are -- you don't go into the Horseshoe and win when Ohio State is good, especially not at night. Texas could conceivably turn around and win all the rest of its games -- yes, including Oklahoma -- but it's not going to beat the Buckeyes under the lights in Columbus, and neither would any other team.
* The author reserves the right to revoke his prediction under any of the following conditions: A) Another key Ohio State player accepts gifts from a booster and gets suspended; B) Cedric Benson and Derrick Johnson are suddenly granted an extra year of eligibility and return to Austin; or C) Someone steals all of Tressel's sweater vests and after suffering a panic attack, he fails to show up for the game by kickoff.
