What I meant by my previous post was wondering if the game is indeed at 7 pm game. If so, do you think your crowd will be harmed by people staying home to watch the OSU v. Miami game? Of course your die hard Ohio fans will not, but what about your fringe fans who prefer the Buckeyes? It seems the gate would be better for a noon start.
You are definitely right on that. I'm sure there are some who will not come to the game because of Ohio State being on TV. Many students probably will not come, or may come for the first half. The Ohio State game might be a 7:30 or an 8 p.m. start depending on which network, ABC or ESPN, it is shown on. It is somewhat rare for an Ohio game to be played at basically the same time as an Ohio State game, and I'm not sure the reasoning for it this time.
As for Ohio fans buying the $10 tickets as someone asked, I think many of the people on here are season ticket holders, so that's probably part of the reason for no mention of buying the $10 tickets. I am curious, though, how many people took advantage of the deal.
