Oh yeah. It’s gonna probably be 90/10 red/purple. That’s why ticket prices were so high.
What an inspired choice for homecoming by our brilliant administration
It's literally the most lopsided showing I've ever seen at any game. I was counting over 100 OSU fans for every one of us. It's miserable in here.
Bang up job by our alumni relations and admin.
I’m not even mad at the fans this time. This was never not going to be pretty bad. What a stupid decision.
Wasn’t much choice at the time given uncertainty of earlier-season games… though that was obviously also self-inflicted.
They could have held this game at Soldier Field. That was the only reasonable alternative to Wrigley.
OSU would have made more money for the B1G that way. 🤷♂️
Just like the 1989 game in Cleveland: NU could have gotten more cash for hosting a Buckeye homecoming in Chicago. 😂
The alternative was to do this at lakeside, except we hadn’t planned for that when this was scheduled. I’m also not sure if the economics would have worked to do this lakeside if Wrigley was available. But I thought when we were trying to figure out what to do for this season we basically couldn’t make Soldier Field work because of requirements for the Bears.
I know the team is bad and they were not going to compete with the Buckeyes, but an 80/20 “home” game is embarrassing. And yes, our fans deserve some of the blame. Bad look for the many recruits we had there. “Welcome! We have no support!”
My class had an event in Evanston that began at the same time as tipoff. My wife had to ask the bartender to change the TV to the NU hoops game. There were no more than 10 people out of 500 watching the game as it went into OT. Totally on brand.
Those ba$ards come at you in waves. Like locust, they're all over the place. But in fairness, the do have the largest fan base - by far. See attachment
