Usually $5 at McDonald's or Kroger.

That is more than scUM regular season tickets

surely you mean that it's by one get one free at those astronomical prices?

They said tOSU could not beat MSU. Then they said tOSU could not beat Wiscy. Then Bama. Then the Nike Ducks.

I am sure someone will say "tOSU cannot win the Spring Game" but I expect Urban to show them they are wrong.

It will definitely be interesting going into this year being the assumed "best" team in the country.

It's been a while since Ohio State has had that stigma. I wonder how well the fans/players/coaches can refocus the overall mentality away from "The Chase", the underdog, and "us against the world" mantra toward something on the other end of the spectrum that keeps them equally as "angry" and motivated.

Outside of QB, there isn't a position battle I'd like to see more than DE opposite of Bosa

Nice read. I'm also excited to see who plays next to Washington in the middle. I think replacing bennet is more important than finding out who the other DE is

There are a decent amount of intriguing position battles during the spring. RT, WR opposite Michael Thomas, and HB on offense are up for grabs and DT opposite Adolphus Washington, DE opposite Bosa, and CB opposite Eli Apple on defense. Of those, I'm most excited for the DE and CB battle.

I agree, especially with just as many unknowns among the young DTs and Schutt and Hale.

Tickets now on Ticketmaster on the link. $5 or $15, not bad prices. I plan on paying $15 for tickets for me, wife and daughter(her first time at the Shoe) and because it's my Bday weekend. But either price isn't too bad, just hoping the weather is decent, hard to call.

Awesome. Three weeks till spring practice starts and we are at -8 degrees F. Great prep for late season B1G games. Please, give me Bama, FSU, Nike, TCU, and Baylor in Columbus for bowl season. Please.

Not sure where to put this as it's a spring topic and not just a spring game topic

$5-$15 to watch the best game of the year in person? That's a steal.

Pretty excited for this game. It's hard to say which unit looks stronger on paper going into next season. The defense, with 8 of the 10 leading tacklers returning, or the offense, with 3 all-conference quarterbacks, the leading rusher, the leading receiver and 4/5ths of the offensive line.

Just got my tickets. What are some good restaurants to go to after the game? Going to Thurman's on Friday when we get in town, already preparing my daughter for a long wait when we get there. But not sure of where to go on Saturday to eat and sight see; most of my visits to Cbus have been drunken/smoke filled hazes where places like Jimmy Johns, random pizza spots, and Mickey Ds were what was consumed, can't exactly do that now with the family

if you have a smartphone, you should download Urbanspoon. It'll tell you what is nearby and rate each place by popularity. You can also search by certain types of cuisine. I use it all the time.

Seems pretty weak to me.
