As some of you may know i am in the marching band here at ohio state. So i have a front row seat to all the home games and experience first the travesty that is the student section here at ohio state. What is going on block O?
I'll start by saying that the student section this school year has absolutely sucked. I have yet to see a game during the school year that has had a loud intimidating crowd, it hasn't been here. Maybe I'm spoiled by the insanity that was the USC game, where the stadium felt as if it would collapse from all the noise, but then again, when half of block O north doesn't even show up for the second game in a row, i have a right to be ticked off. It doesn't make sense, the student sections of the stadium should always be filled to maximum capacity with fans that are cheering loud for our team and making a hostile environment for whoever were playing. Instead the old, young, and middle aged people sitting in the nosebleed sections and in all the crappy seats are the ones making all the noise.
With one more home game left against the number four ranked team in the nation and a possible rose bowl berth for us all i hope is that maybe the student sections shows up once this season. It would be nice to get loud again, and if you're not gonna be loud at least show up to the game, nothing looks worse than a half empty student section.

Well, I have to be the one first to admit, I'm not the football game kind of girl. I bought student tickets this year, and after my experience in the two games I've gone to (and left early from), I won't waste my money again next year, Don't know why, I just can't get into it and find it boring. Maybe it's because I refuse to go to the games completely shitfaced and drunk out of my head, like 80% of the student population there seems to be.
ReplyDeletePeople may purchase the tickets and have the intent to be a great BlockO supporter, but there's something called the real world. Who knows if these students have exams, projects, work, or other responsibilities that they can't ignore, even for the oh-so-wondrous miracle of OSU football, And yes, that's pretty much sarcastic ;)
I feel as though after the USC game and especially the loss to purdue this year's season has just been a drag. To be honest I have lost interest in this season pryor needs to learn how to throw and keep the ball in his hands
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Popeye. I have been an avid Buckeye supporter since the day I was born, but there is only so far I will go with this team. If they are going to keep on making stupid decisions--I mean, come on Tressel, you can't call all of the offensive play calls, maybe if you hired some new offensive coordinators all sides of our offensive will improve--it is hard for me to cheer my loudest at every game.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can just blame the students on this issue. Maybe if the team performed better, students would be more excited about their football team.
