Two charter members of the 800 wins club, both steeped in tradition and with multiple MNC's and mulitple Heisman and other major post season award winners going head to head in this vulnerable college football palace in front of a national television audience. What's not to like ?

Win or lose, I'm excited to watch Nebraska play tOSU in the shoe.

Well rally around the fact that had Braxton NOT gotten injured, you'd have driven home victorious and not by just a little but by a lot.
Most Huskerfans know fully well and will freely admit the only reason we won that game was your dynamic playmaker, who was giving out defense fits, got injured and had to leave the game. His backup was immobile and ineffectual.
I fully expect you guys to kick our behinds severely up at the shoe this season.

Also, our D, which was staunch initially, got adjusted for, as the game progressed. Pelini came up with great half time adjustments.

Likewise, our "D" never adjusted for BM. It wasn't until his immobile backup came in after he got injured that our defense was able to do anything meaningful.
Our offense would never have been able to be on the field long enough to win the game if your offense wouldn't gone 3&out so many times once BM got hurt. BM stays in the game and our offense never gets the PT to pull out the come from behind victory.

Ohio Stadium turns 90
Sep 23, 2012

This season marks the 90th anniversary of Ohio Stadium, one of the Mecca's of college football.

The massive gray structure with the Roman architecture and stained glass windows is as majestic as it is relevant. Set alongside the Olentangy River, it makes for a picturesque setting among the colorful trees on autumn Saturdays.

The facility opened on Oct. 7, 1922 and was renovated from 1999 to 2001. Naturally, with seven national championship seasons (1942, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1970 and 2002), Ohio Stadium has been the site for some magnificent games. Here is one pick for its top 10 contests at age 90.

10. Sept. 10, 2005 - Texas 25, Ohio State 22: The 7th-ranked Buckeyes featured five first-round draft choices, but a dropped touchdown pass by tight end Ryan Hamby was all the opening Texas needed. Quarterback Vince Young led the No. 2 Longhorns the length of the field on the game-winning drive, capping it with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Limas Sweed with 2:37 remaining. The Buckeyes had their chances, but could not take advantage of three Texas turnovers and settled for five field goals. The Longhorns dominated in total yardage (382-255) and first downs (19-13), and went on to win the national title.

9. Sept. 30, 1995 - Ohio State 45, Notre Dame 26:

Right after the game began, there was one Nebraska fan sitting behind us. Ended up being a nice guy, who had been to many games in Lincoln, but he hadn't said much up to this point. After Ohio State went on defense for the first time and forced a three an out with two plays for a loss, he says, "Wow! It's really loud in here!"

What a great atmosphere Ohio Stadium is for a football game. I think the Nebraska fans left with a new sense of respect for how difficult it is to win here.

It was also fitting as we walked out of the stadium, with the victory bell still ringing, the clock hit midnight and Ohio Stadium officially turned 90 years old. What a great way for such a beautiful stadium to show off it's 90th birthday.

Is there a better place to watch football in the world? No chance.

Burglars Take Ohio State Memorabilia From Ohio Stadium

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police were working to find those who were responsible for a burglary that hit the heart of the Ohio State campus-- the ?Shoe.

Investigators said that they felt they were close to identifying one of the suspects because a hat left behind at the scene.

"Six of the suites were entered," said Richard Morman, of the Ohio State University Police. "Several flat screen televisions were taken and also some photos off the wall."

Some photos included autographs of six former Ohio State football players. Police said that the thieves also made off with other items.

"About 59 items of Ohio State memorabilia were taken," Morman said.

Police said that the thieves climbed the fence to get inside the stadium.

"Then (they) used a trashcan to enter into one of the patio areas of one of the suits that may have been left unlocked," Morman said.

Investigators said that they hoped a hat left behind would help them track down one of the burglars.

"It's a distinctive ball cap from the Wisconsin Timberattlers, which is a minor league softball team, which is affiliated with the Milwaukee brewers. It?s purple in color. Has a black W in front of it," Mormon said.

I have noticed alot of seating arrangments of the Ohio Stadium. But one section always strikes my inquiry of what section of the seating do they
call it.

Especially the seats or rows that are overhanging on the towers
at the open sections. For instance the seats that are up against the tower where the victory bell is housed.

That sections seems to be a lonely place
to watch the game. I have always wondered if they are reserved seats or
can anyone purchase those seats if they are available.

Oh, please let these be the work of some dumb[censored] Wisconsin fans only days before our game up at Damp Cramhole. If you think Meyer was going to put his foot up Pop-a-douche's ass just because of his sissy whining about Meyer's recruiting tactics, wait until Meyer finds out prized OSU memorabilia being taken from The Shoe by some zit-pickin' Badger fans...

I doubt that whether the suspects were Wisconsin fans or not will have zero impact on the game Saturday.

If Meyer is hoping Wisconsin fans steal some OSU memorabilia and TVs to get his team extra motivated to play Wisconsin then OSU has a problem. A problem I don't think they have.
