Was in Evanston on Saturday Night...was hoping to take in more of the scene there but at about 4PM a torrential thunderstorm began and didn't let up until 5:30. Originally they were expecting thunderstorms all evening long but we lucked out and there wasn't much more after the deluge. Otherwise the temp was great.

Last time I was at Ryan Field was in 2008. That game was fuckin freezing and the stadium was probably 70% OSU fans. This time was more 50/50. The visiting side stands still feel like a high school stadium in a lot of ways. Bathroom situation has progressed from "third world" to "developing nation"

We knew already. Your delight at having a weekend respite from the squat toilets typical in Ohio must have been very notable, because an artist's rendering is now online depicting you at the stadium before someone showed you how people do it in the developed world:

Matt Hayes writes for the Sporting News and is one of the biggest reasons that "publication" is struggling as it is. He wants page clicks and gets it by trolling Buckeye, Bama, and other big fanbases.

Glad you clarified it so well for me, DSL. So it goes something like this: 1) The Sporting News is a thriving weekly sports tabloid ; 2) they hire Matt Hayes, who just happens to enjoy trolling the ohio (and a few other big fanbases) and their fanbase; and 3) The Sporting News goes down the shithole in every sense of the word.

Strange, but I don't remember TSN being relevant for the last couple decades or so. I'll have to Google Matt Hayes and see if that's when he was hired...

Actually, hack, most of them (when tailgating, etc.) prefer coolers to poop in. If you really want I'll try to find a link that explains more fully this interesting Columbus-based tradition.

I am afraid I have to call bullshit, you mean the Poodle couldn't find a single fire hydrant to relieve himself on in Evanston?

Ah, the HATE. And, of course, the FEAR.

At least you boys are starting to bunker in for the inevitable. LOL.

cooler pooper (noun)


Someone had to do it and now "cooler pooper" is officially part of the American lexicon. From Urban Dictionary:

A classless sports fan. Originating from a 2005 college football game between the the Texas Longhorns and the Ohio State Buckeyes which was overcrowded to the point that fans resorted to pooping in their coolers. Credit for the first use of the phrase "cooler pooper" goes to Brian Cook of MGoBlog.com.

The setting: After a tough loss, JDUB is mad at the home team's quarterback.

JDUB: does anyone know where our quarterback lives? I want to visit him. I'm dead serious. I just want to punch him in the eye or beak his leg.

Huffy: You are putting way too much emphasis on the outcome of a sporting event.

JDUB: I got 3 lil boys all who can kick his ass and get nothing since they got clean records.

great2belucky: you know how fucking stupid you sound? that fact you have children is SCARY, you fucking cooler pooper.

Big crowd for OSU game prompts special plans for buses, parking garages, portable toilets

Buckeyes fans who want to avoid hours of postgame gridlock will be able to get a shuttle or bus ride to their cars or homes, even though the USC game will end late Saturday night.
"No one needs to worry about being left behind," said Marty Stutz, spokesman for the Central Ohio Transit Authority. "If someone came to the game on a bus, we're going to get them home on a bus."
COTA guarantees that shuttles to the state fairgrounds and the Crosswoods Park and Ride lot in Worthington will run for at least two hours after the game, no matter how late it ends.
COTA also is increasing the frequency of bus service on other routes and extending hours on several routes just to make sure.
Ohio State University officials warn that it could take motorists as long as three hours to exit campus after the big game with the University of Southern California. Cars parked closest to the stadium probably will take the longest to get out.
"The last thing we want to do is scare people, but we do want them to have a realistic idea of what they might face and to be prepared," said Beth Kelley-Snoke, OSU's assistant director of transportation and parking services.
Coming in should be a much-smoother ride, especially earlier in the day. Shuttles and buses will run earlier than normal, so tailgaters can arrive well before the game's 8 p.m. start.
COTA says parking at the state fairgrounds is an especially good bet because buses will bypass most of the congestion and run every five to 10 minutes.
"We had over 3,900 passengers use our Expo Center Park and Ride alone last Saturday -- almost double our average ridership," said Beth Berkemer, COTA spokeswoman.
To help ease the flow of postgame traffic, Ohio State will attempt to distribute parking in the South Campus garages more evenly. That means some cars will be directed to the next garage before a closer one is full.
Bikes also provide a nice alternative. More than 440 riders left bikes Saturday at two free corrals operated by the University Area Enrichment Association. Although the school doesn't have a dedicated lane for bikers, it will ask bus drivers and motorists to leave cyclists as much room as possible.
For those who arrive on campus early, will there be enough toilets?
Ohio State hopes so and says it has learned its lesson from big matchups such as the Texas game in 2005, in which cleanup crews found several soiled shorts and a few coolers filled with poop.
"You either deal with the problem up front, or you deal with it later when it's ugly," said Kelley-Snoke.
In the past four years, the university has doubled the number of portable toilets available on game days, she said. On Saturday, there will be more than 90 port-a-loos -- about the same as last season.
But because officials anticipate large crowds, a contractor will clean them at midday, said Mike Penner assistant athletic director for event management. Ohio State has never done that before.
The university also will have an army of groundskeepers, garbage collectors and custodians working through the day and into Sunday morning to clean up the campus. Trash bins will be rolled into the stadium and tailgate lots by Friday night and cleaned out during the game and again at 4 a.m. Sunday.
The campus hopes to lessen the mess with its Scarlet, Gray and Green recycling campaign. In the past two years, it has collected nearly 190 tons of recyclables from fans in the stadium and in tailgate lots.

Eddie, you've got to ramp that shit up. He's been innsufferable since Meyer's 6-0 start.

Talent has been mocked, scorned and ridiculed for as long as I can remember and he was here before me and come to think of it, you've been bitch slapping him pretty much the entire time.

Suppose one of your traditional boots to the nutsack is always a good start.

[hack]

LOL. Priceless. Of course it happened there.

If OlieO needs to beat an undefeated Michigan for them to reach the MNC game, they may as well forget it. Michigan will have at least 2 losses before they meet.
