Ohio State was only allocated 4,000 tickets for the Texas - Ohio State game, but that's apparently not going to stop Ohio State fans from attending. The Vice-President of the Austin area Ohio State alumni association says they're "projecting 35,000 or 40,000 people" to arrive in Austin for the big game. I find it pretty amazing to think that many people are headed down to Texas just to be close to the Buckeyes, because I'm sure many won't make it into the stadium. The Ohio State Alumni Association has rented out the 16,000 seat Erwin Center for a pregame party, and they'll be marching over to Texas Memorial Stadium with the Ohio State marching band before the game. Archie Griffin will be speaking at the Erwin Center.
Ohio State's fan base never ceases to amaze me. I'm not sure if anyone who's never gone to Ohio State or lived in Columbus can really ever understand how crazy people are about this team. It's awesome to see.
