My point was, OSU-TSUN is the greatest rivalry in sports, and when you are at your rivals own field, everything can be difficult. |

Because of the talent, rivalry and pressure/impact of The Game, not the big house. It is a pretty tame atmosphere for opposing teams to encounter.
Though for whatever reason, the osu fans are doing their best impression of it in the shoe this year.

I agree that the players/intensity make a greater impact, but wouldn't you rather be in the 'Shoe than the Big House? I know it isn't a guarantee by any means, but it sure helps to be at home!  |

Well of course, because OSU enjoys a strong home field advantage, at least for the big games.
How many opponents are greatly affected by their stadium? They are well known for being a strangely quiet stadium given their crowd. I know they believe the press boxes will change this, but the fact remains there are simply too many blue hairs in their crowd, like osu basketball.
How many stadiums around the country are far more raucous and challenging to play in?
Trips to happy valley and camp Randall are absolutely intimidating, even when the opponent is only average. When is the last time someone felt or talked that way about a trip to Ann arbor?
Their athletes, coaches, tradition, history and qwirks of rivalries present a strong challenge. But the stadium? Meh.

Not so "little" brother has made a statement. It is 2-6 for scUM. Now its our turn. I know there are games before this, but I would like nothing more than for scUM to come to the game 5-6 and for us to thump them. Go bucks.
[censored] scUM.
