I'll take the same result in the Sugar Bowl.....attendance and game score!
2010 Rose Bowl
Given Urbie's scheduling proclivities, I thought it was California University of Pennsylvania. Maybe all turned out to honor Tom Cousineau, yet another of those, ahem, "great" tOSU linebackers (much like AJ the Great White Hoax to come), for how he played against 'Bama in the last Sugar Bowl between the two teams...I have no doubt that the Buckeye fans will show up in force but this stadium of Californias must hold a max of 30,000. Just saying.
It's gonna be a great atmosphere.....two storied programs, certain HOF coaches and vast, proud and intensely loyal fan bases. How does it get better than that?
Yeah it'll be impossible to tell unfortunatelyThe reality on the fan base split is that no one will ever really know since the entire stadium will be washed in red/crimson. Too hard to tell when all is said and done.
I was there and there were a LOT of ND fans in the city and in the parking lot BUT once inside the stadium the split was a lot closer to 50/50 than 70/30. Bama sections seemed sold out and predominately Crimson.As noted above, it was not 70% ND...not anywhere close.
Prepare yourselfI would be shocked if it were anything but a 50/50 split.
Yes, and I'll admit the experience changed my mind a little about the ND fan base. The ones I talked too were very classy and even in the stadium they were outstanding, even when the momentum quickly swung to Bama.I was there and there were a LOT of ND fans in the city and in the parking lot BUT once inside the stadium the split was a lot closer to 50/50 than 70/30.
