I like that math!

It's better than the Illinois marketing department. 

Yep.  5 figures.  Minimum.

The only people I want to "kill" (and by kill, I mean firmly question) are the O Zone members that brought said individual into the student section with that on.  The only excuse acceptable is that the guy is an OSU student visiting. 

Side note:  He at least got to see a basketball team that knows how to score points!

I'll be generous and say 8,500 actual.

I'm bringing along an old friend and alum who will be in Columbus game day on a business trip, who has lived in Connecticut for years, and has not been to a game in the Convo in 25 years!

Here's my (belated and very long) opinion:

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs as a diehard Ohio State fan because my Dad went to law school there. All throughout high school I rooted for the Buckeyes, as did my family.

Once I decided to come to OU, I was completely a Bobcats fan. The Buckeyes weren't even on my radar. I couldn't care less about them. 

Now I've even converted my Dad & family to be a 100% Bobcats fan. He watches all of the games & loves Russ, etc. 

I own a couple OSU shirts only because I'm proud my Dad earned a degree from there. 

I used to root for the Buckeyes hardcore w/ my dad. But, the amount that my Dad & I root for the Bobcats these days doesn't even compare to our OSU fanhood. We destroyed our basement when OU beat Michigan & South Florida in the tourney. We made the trip to STL to watch the OU/NC game in the sweet 16. I've got my sister wearing OU apparel to a huge HS in the Chi burbs.   

Even after that, we went insane after the OU/PSU game. I traveled back to the burbs for the game & we went absolutely crazy after the W. 

My point is, anyone who is an OSU fan & goes to OU is pretty pathetic. Choose one. If you wear an OSU shirt in the Ozone, you should be kicked out of the Ozone. I'm not even from Ohio and I have no tolerance for this shit.  IMO, being an OHIO fan is much better than being an OSU fan. 

We should hand out these. Do they still make them?

Same boat, I grew up in Pickerington and its always Ohio State or Michigan. When I decided to go to OU in November of my senior year I stopped wearing OSU gear all together and only wore OU gear. I went to the Ohio State Spring game rocking an OU hoodie and got a few compliments. 

Growing up I absolutely loved Ohio State. It was my dream to be a Buckeye. I actually attended Ohio State for one year and absolutely hated it. At the conclusion of that year, me and 2 others guys that lived on 8th floor of Park Hall transferred to Ohio University. I have not worn anything Ohio State since 1989. In addition, I cheer against them in every game.

I love whats happening on this thread. It's like an AA meeting where you say a few words and tell everyone how long it has been since drinking the scarlet and grey kool-aide and have been sober ever since.

I love it as well. 

I think 9,000 would be an optimistic but attainable attendance goal.
