Ohio Stadium: Ohio State – Miami

This past weekend I headed to Columbus for the Ohio State – Miami game. Outside of special teams mistakes the Buckeyes dominated the game. My brother managed to get me tickets one way or another in A Deck which were probably the best seats I’ve had at Ohio Stadium since I was a student. Of course I had to go through the archaic ‘Will Call’ system that OSU has setup. I guess it never dawned on me that 700 students would wait until the day before the Miami game to pick up their tickets and that the Ticket Office wouldn’t have separate lines for Student Tickets and everyone else.

Nevertheless it was a good time. We tailgated a little before the game, then headed over to the Varsity Club where Jack & Eddie pulled his weight to get a spot at the bar.

Ryan Field: Northwestern – Penn State.

Yesterday I headed up to Evanston for the Northwestern – Penn State game at Ryan Field. If you’ve never seen a game at Northwestern I recommend it. It is by far the smallest stadium in the BIG TEN which means you’re going to get much closer to the actual game than in any other stadium. Not to mention tickets to Northwestern games are by far the cheapest and easiest to get.

It was a pretty solid game until the fourth quarter when Penn State’s offense finally clicked with Daryll Clark throwing a 53-yard touchdown pass and Evan Royster breaking a 69-yard touchdown run.

Memorial Stadium: Illinois – Penn State.

Yesterday I headed down to Champaign with some friends for the Illinois – Penn State game at Memorial Stadium. Penn State managed to get back on track and win 35-17. I must say it seems like Juice Williams has been playing since Antwaan Randle El graduated from Indiana, seriously… he has to be in grad school at this point.

The weather was wet and cold but not nearly as bad as last year when I was in Champaign. We setup a decent tailgate considering the last minute planning. A good time was had by all.
