Yeah, me too. And if you don't still have your ticket stub to prove it, it doesn't count.....
Can you believe that Ohio State football tickets were actually $16 once?
Sixteen dollars. GTFO!

It's No Primetime, but Buckeye Players Looking Forward to an Early Kickoff
Night games are fun, but the Buckeyes are ready for an early kickoff
Primetime. That’s when they say the stars come out and all players want to play. Those games under the lights used to be special, being scheduled for big, meaningful games, but these days they seem to be a dime a dozen for some programs.
After winning the National Championship last season, Ohio State has had its fair share of night games in 2015, playing four 8:00 p.m. kickoffs including each of its previous three.
Saturday’s game at Illinois sees the Buckeyes change their schedule, as the game is set to begin at 12:00 p.m. EST.
While fans love night games and players enjoy the excitement those contests bring, some on OSU are looking forward to getting the game going early.
“Generally they’re not as kind of like juiced up in terms of fans and all that kind of stuff,” senior linebacker Joshua Perry said. “But it’s fun to get out there early and just get the anticipation out of the way.”
While players look forward to playing at night, the primetime games mean waiting around all day while the rest of the country plays. The Ohio State players get up, eat, go to meeting, attend more meetings, and then finally get ready to go play.
For noon games, it’s pretty much get up and go.
“That’s what we like,” Perry said. “There’s not a ton of anticipation that comes with a noon game.”

NOON is my favorite starting time.

This isn't the Same Old Illinois Team You're Used To
This isn’t the Illinois you used to know.
Okay, maybe it is, at least on paper. The Illini are 5-4 on the year, 2-3 in the Big Ten, and already dismissed a coach in 2015, albeit for disciplinary reasons.
A closer look at Illinois reveals a more talented team than the record indicates.
“Tell the guys to turn on the tape and actually watch it,” linebacker Joshua Perry said. “Then you see Illinois is a team that has some really good players and they do some things really well.”
Illinois are only 17-point underdogs to No. 3 Ohio State. That may sound like a lot, but not when you put things in perspective. This is the closest spread between the two teams since 2011. It is also the closest spread for an OSU this season opponent since the opening game with Virginia Tech.
“We know that they’ve got two running backs that they really like and a receiver who’s really, really good and a quarterback who can make some pretty good passes,” Perry continued. “So when you look at all that, you’ve got to say, ‘Well, this is a really serious game.’ You can’t overlook anything.”
Illini quarterback Wes Lunt is already a 2,000-yard passer on the season. He has 12 touchdowns to just four interceptions and quarterback rating of 113.5.
“He throws the ball really well and so that’s what you see,” Perry said of Lunt. “He’s got pretty good chemistry with one of his guys there. We’re going to have to find ways to stop him, number eight.”
After losing last year’s top pass catcher, Mike Dudek, to a torn ACL, in the spring, senior Geronimo Allison (Perry’s “number eight”) has stepped up to fill the void. Allison has a team-leading 56 receptions for 756 yards and will be top priority for the Silver Bullets to slow down.
Despite missing three games this season, starting running back Josh Ferguson has 514 rushing yards (6.2 yards per carry) and three touchdowns. He is second on the team behind freshmen Ke’Shawn Vaughn, who has 665 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. Both will be used against the Buckeyes.
“Guys are hungry when they get the ball, their running backs, and they’re just really hard runners,” Perry said. “You see a lot of that. You see that people are worried about the passing threats so it kind of opens things up for them. We’re going to have to find answers and I think we’re doing a good job of it, but that’s going to be a big challenge for us.”
