Hmmmm....I think this is the kind of thing the MAC was supposed to help us out with for f**king up our home schedule this year. Great deal for UT though!

Great deal for UT...I'm stunned that OSU would do this, but great deal for UT, no doubt.

The pressing question here is who do you root for here? Its the lesser of two evils.

SAY WHAT?!! I had Cinci in mind for maybe Ohio U/Miami & OSU, but... Toledo at Cleveland Stadium. ?? Since when does blue and yellow ever play in Cleveland unless its San Diego?When its Toledo I guess. I thought Toledo had their own city. Cleveland is just so, so, ORANGE & BROWN.

Still, there won't be too many spare tickets for that one. I like this format - this kind of association with the Big 10 is terrific news for the MAC.

You misspelled "NONE".

I would be shocked if that game doesn't sell out. I'd also be shocked if it isn't 95+% OSU fans.

A masterclass in wit. I'd tip my hat, if I had one. And of those 95%+ that show up, how many probably don't make it to Columbus in a season to see their team? OSU's PR people will love this. I can see it now... "putting something back into the community". Very laudable.

Yeah, blue and yellow going to Cleveland is one thing, the reality that everything in the stands will be coloured E8EBEF & FF0000 makes one scratch one's receding hairline.

i already want to barf with all of the coverage wtam, the pd, and the 5 local tv news outfits give to ohio state. i may abstain from anything other than the sirius and the dish when that game approaches.

This is great for the MAC. BG/Wis at CBS, NIU/Iowa at Soldiers Field, UT/OSU at CBS - terrific momentum

You root for Ohio State. You never root for Toledo.

Go Toledo. I root for all MAC teams OOC...ESPECIALLY when they play Columbus.

I cheered for BG the last time you played OSU, and I will again in your next game.....but hey, that's just me.

This will be a huge majority of OSU fans at this game in 2009. However, word is that Toledo is going to start selling pre-orders for tickets to this game really soon, believe it or not. I am told that UT is going to have a huge allotment of tickets to sell for this game. Problem is that there will be many UT graduates that are OSU fans that will buy tickets too. I know you guys see that problem as well.

There's no doubt that the game is going to look and feel like an OSU home game, but UT is going to get a huge boost in the financial aspect from this game.

I hate saying this, but I would go for OSU, for the simple fact that if Toledo beat them, we would never hear the end of it

Blimp crash.

But I think I'm more on your side of this fence... Unless we beat OSU first.
