Color of the day at Ohio Stadium will be scarlet
If you’re heading to Columbus on Saturday for the big Ohio State-Penn State clash, don’t forget to wear your scarlet. That’s the word from OSU, from the top (Jim Tressel) on down.
“We need the place to be a sea of scarlet,” Tressel said Thursday on his radio show. “We need to create that home-field advantage … scream and yell and make it hard on Penn State.
“I think our fans will be up to the occasion.”
Another thing: Be careful out there. Things can get ugly outside Ohio Stadium after dark. Let’s just say the tail-gating has the potential to get out of hand.
ODDS & ENDS
— ESPN’s College GameDay will set up shop on the south side of St. John Arena, with the Shoe as a backdrop. Hopefully Desmond Howard and Nick Lachey won’t sing Penn State’s fight song. (If you recall, those two goofs belted out “Victors” on the show a couple years back.)
— Other things to do besides drink and watch football include: OSU women’s hockey game at 1 p.m. (free admission); women’s basketball practice from noon to 2 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center; men’s basketball scrimmage at 4 p.m.
— Former OSU coach John Cooper will be recognized on the field at halftime for his upcoming induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. He’s expected to wear scarlet.
— Fans watching from home will get some odd angles from Skycam, touted as a “patented broadcast-quality robotic camera suspended from a cable-driven, computerized transport system that can fly in three-dimensional space.” … Uh, OK.

maybe cooper will bring some of the thugs he recruited all those years, he was a good recruiter but those boys of his sure did get in trouble a lot and gave osu a black eye which rivaled miami
