Missing it for the first time in a while unless some last minute tickets come my way. The couch for me this year.
BJ, do you have anything on tap as far as a big television and a viewing party is concerned? I know this thread is about actually attending the game, but was also wondering what might be going on at Dana's.
A LOT of drinkingQuote:

I'm keeping an open mind to finding a ticket and going. We'll see.
If you blast the mascot with the last ball - YOU WIN EITHER WAY! Plus, we'll probably get to see the replay on ESPN top plays! And of course, well, do they do mug shots in the Enquirer?Quote:

Anyone have 3-4 extra tickets?
This will be the first one I miss since the year before the brawl the last time it was at UC. I'm getting pumped though, wish I could drive down from Columbus today score two tickets and go.
Have 1 extra ticket tonight. Section 205 row 11.

For those that were in the Shoe last night, any stories you care to share about the experience (good or bad)?
My experience was pretty goodQuote:

I saw a smattering of X fans, but didn't see (or hear) the usual way-up-in-the-corner contingent that the away team is typically given for this game. I kept it fairly low key with my X gear and had some dudes who wanted to break bad with me when UC rallied in the first and then, of course, when taking the lead late in the second half. Didn't get into it with any of them, but I did fist pump and smile at the main douche giving me shit on my way out. That win felt great. Love winning at the Shoe. (By the way, I'm not even sure $70M will fix that dump.) TCOB on Saturday.
On tv it looked like lots of red plastic seats showing from the main camera angle.Quote:

Section 225 was full of X fans. They represented well and I thought could be heard throughout the place. Only exception was when XU was chanting while UC was singing their alma-mater before the game. I thought that lacked class.
And they did implore us to be classy fans.
No problems in 203. Only X person for a several seat radius. So I kept it low key.
Just the joy of seeing their heads down hearts wrenched out looks leaving the arena was enough
