Some updated tidbits from OSU message boards: Night before the game edition.

[gobuckse1999]

I love when Osu fans say this is Tn Super Bowl.. like mfs it’s the playoffs the all high and mighty act bc they know they’re fans ain’t on the same level.

I'm glad this makes you happy.... however we have a top 3 fan base in the nation.

From their message boards about Tennessee fans being in Columbus -

"Tennessee fans are just doing the most on social media because this is literally their super bowl. A win in the The Shoe tomorrow would be Top 3 in program history."

"I saw a Tennessee fan at Kroger tonight and he was spitting tobacco juice on the floor on each aisle."

Typical Yankee stuck up snobby jackassery.


On the SEC coming to Columbus -

"The SEC heavyweights are a handful, luckily Tennessee is not one of them."


On Nico Iamaleava -

"Tennessee's QB is the best thing we have going for us, and what gives me a glimmer of hope. If we can contain the dreaded QB draw we always seem to struggle with, Nico could have a rough night. It doesn't take much pressure to get him in panic mode and then he can really make some bizzare decisions."

"Nico was the number one reason why I haven’t been too concerned about this game.. He seems to get flustered easy and it really bogs their offense down at times."

"This is easy. In a game of pick-up, I think everyone would take Howard as their first choice."

Trust me, they’ll make jokes about us being hillbillies, and then go right back to being wannabe Southerners blasting country radio out of their rusted Chevrolets the rest of the year.

I'm sure someone has said it before but this could be HUGE for recruiting if the coaches use it effectively.

Just win.

Which part of Texas man?

Franklin. Just north of Bryan-College Station. Way deep in Aggieland.

Wouldn’t know it from Gameday.

I think many OSU fans lost interest after the loss to Michigan after being favored by 20 points. Many want Day out. He CHOKES in big games and will again tonight. Count on it

I'm in New Braunfels! Just moved here 2 months ago

I don’t care if it’s true or not, I’m already planning on telling stories for years about how Ohio State had to go to a silent count on 3rd down on offense in their own stadium.

You guys do have one of the most impressive bandwagon of fair weather fans.

 

[TennMan101]

So far, everyone has been pretty cool. Bar people looked at us like we had three eyes when Rocky Top started.

Lol! I still can't stop laughing

 

[Sudden Impact]

That is a bold statement when your AD has to ask the fan Base to not resale tickets to the opposing team.
At one time you did have the number 3 fan base but things change as those fans grow older and you don't field any new ones to replace them. So back in the day.

That’s an old school style meme. Been waiting to damn long to use it

 

[Halph66]

In a game of pickup I don't think anyone would take Will Howard. TBH I don't think he is very good and the Arkansas QB scared me more. I'm sure Nico can match whatever level Howard plays at.

In nine game that Will Howard has thrown 30 or more passes in a game, they are 3-6.

Seemed timing was appropriate.

 

[TrapVol]

BTW this wouldn't be a top 3 win in our history. We do have multiple titles that would easily be in front of this. Hell, I would still put 98' Florida and Arkansas ahead of this game because they lead to a natty. I think we would have to win the natty for this to even make our top 5

This. They act like we have the history of South Carolina or Mississippi St. I know we haven’t been that relevant the past 20 years but before that, our history as a program in the SEC was 2nd only to Bama. This is probably our biggest game this century in terms of returning to relevance, but I don’t think it would even scratch the top 10 all time.

100%

My thoughts also, could be hard to see the Orange wearing winter coats,but Volnation always comes thru.

Hopefully many 4XL jerseys were bought to wear over the coats.

Sorry for the new post. These deserve to not get buried in a thread somewhere.

“Have never seen so many opposing fans in my 30 years of attending home games. This is insane. The stadium is going to be over 30% Tennessee based on what Columbus looks like right now”

“I’m seeing same thing. I own a bar downtown and have never seen anything like this. Been here since ‘85 and this is the first time an outright majority of clientele are opposing fans.”


“Really not sure what is going on or if anti-day fans sold tickets but at this point it’s not just rumors that Tennessee fans are here in huge numbers.”

“Seriously impressive how much orange is downtown right now, but also could be embarrassing for us if our home field has splotches of Orange for whole world to see in prime time”


I’m still rummaging through posts. The best part is I know of a ton of people waiting to leave tomorrow if they think tonight is alot of orange.

If we can coach tonight we win if it's as usual then less likely

Would like to ncaa clamp down smart being on the field all the time

 

[onthehill71]

One of my life’s greatest pleasures was walking into the 98 championship game in Tempe Arizona and seeing 50000 Tennessee fans in a 75000 seat stadium. Two thousand miles from home.

As close as I'll ever get to heaven!

What? My dog ate my Scrabble board pieces and his $hit makes more sense than this.
