I think everyone on the fence on going to this game needs to realize Ohio State doesn't respect our team and the also don't respect our fans. Several season ticket holders have already sold their tickets with confidence that other Buckeye fans will pick those up. They don't believe for a second our fans will brave the elements, the distance, or the hostile environment to support our team. They're sure their sorry fans will pack that stadium with that low rent Crimson color to support their team. They're taking that money from those ticket sales and booking flights to Pasadena, reserving rooms for their inevitable rematch with Oregon. Some commentators have said Tennessee is just "along for the ride" or "happy to be here'. I wonder if any senior in that lockerroom feels just happy to be there?

In 2022, a large contingent of Vol fans took over Death Valley after our team sent their sorry ass fans heading for the exit at halftime. LSU recruits at that game even commented on how well Tennessee traveled and supported their team. Let's do the same at the Shoe. Let's take over that stadium when our players send those fans packing at half time. It's the least we can do for our seniors like Coop, Bru, Omari, ONL, Pili, etc that have given so much for this team. This is a once in a lifetime chance to take over the shoe and beat that team in Columbus. When we win you will want to be there.

Aren't our fans doing the EXACT same thing? I've seen tons on here just assume we are going to blow them out. What's the difference?

Talk is cheap. How many of our season ticket holders do you think would sit this one out if it was in Neyland? I know you just ache to crap on our fans though.

If we had been at the top of the sport for the last 30 years, and this was old hat, and we hated our coach — probably quite a few ….. if they wanted to fund their inevitable trip to Pasadena.

Come on man. Ryan Day’s job is on the line and this game means everything. All of the OSU fans think Tenn will have a huge presence of fans. You’re talking out of your a$$

So there’s always this many tickets on the secondary market for a game this big?

I’m not sure. Maybe show some objective numbers to prove your point.

It’s certainly the biggest game on your end as you’ve never been to the playoffs.

And that arrogant ass response kind of proves my point. You guys are basically the Bama of the north just a different shade of that ugly ass Crimson color. You might have a few less trailers and a lot less titles but you still have that same sense of entitlement.

Deflecting because you can’t show anything to prove your point besides your opinion.

It’s our 6th playoff appearance. Any reasonable person would say it’s a bigger game for the team appearing for the first time.

Fans will show up. It’s the largest fan base in college football.

Tenn fans being excited and buying tickets more than other opponents and OSU fans being supportive are not mutually exclusive.

Iirc, the last time Tennessee played Ohio State was the 1996 Citrus Bowl. I was living in Fort Lauderdale at the time. A born and raised Knoxvillian I met in college days who was living in Pompano came up with tickets. So we rented a Lincoln Continental and motored up to whOrlando. Let me tell you, that was a hard fought game, a defensive battle in a drizzling rain. Every player on both teams seemed to give 110% on every snap. Might sound boring, but I was highly focused and extremely tense throughout. Jay Graham finally broke a long run for a game-winning Touchdown. OSU fans are mostly football snobs who think their poop don't stink, but their players will fight hard. I doubt those things have change much. We beat them then, when all of the writers and people generally expected OSU to win. Frankly, I expect this to be another hard fought game, and I think we will beat them again.

Congrats on beating up on HS teams every year to get into those appearances. Don’t expect you to admit it, but you’re just another 8-9 win team in the SEC.

And it’s the 1st playoff game that anyone has the pleasure of hosting in their own stadium. Remind me Ohio States bowl record against SEC teams? I don’t give a crap you’ve already been 6 times. The amount of tickets still available is an embarrassment to your snobby program.

Remember when Michigan stole signs and gave them to South Carolina to help Ohio State reach the playoffs? And then Michigan’s AD gave Ohio State a home game that they didn’t deserve in 2024? It’s like someone’s looking out for little brother.

Well you’re a 10 win SEC team and Vegas has us winning by more than a touchdown. Your math doesn’t add up.
