I remember the darkest day in Ohio State history
Quite vividly. I was in high school, and we were big IU football fans. We did not go to the game, but were visiting my sister at college in Ohio that day. We were able to pick up the game on radio (WOWO was still a blowtorch in those days). Through basketball championships, etc., that is still the happiest that I think I have ever heard Don Fischer. We went absolutely nuts. We went out to eat that night, in Ohio, with our IU gear on, and made a total nuisance of ourselves.
My expectation level for tomorrow night’s game has not yet reached “win”. It has elevated to “not get blown out”. I’m excited to see how we can do.
Student Tix Sold Out
Even though they expanded the student section to 11,000. From what I’ve been able to gather around campus, a lot of this has to do with the performance last week. A lot of people took notice, especially those who otherwise wouldn’t have cared. Here’s to an awesome atmosphere at MS on Saturday and to a close game (or, you know, a win is good too). The worst case scenario is that OSU comes out and quickly stomps on us before halftime and everyone leaves early, essentially setting things back to how they were before the near-upset of UM.
That’s great. The east stand seats 18,198, so 60 percent of that side will be full of students.

How possible
Could I walk up tomorrow and get a handful of tix???I
I figure most games yeah…Ohio St. game – maybe not
Don't worry
There will definitely be scalpers on the streets in full force. The closer to gametime, the cheaper the price.
