USC versus Ohio State



My husband and I spend the day at the Colisium to view the much anticipated USC Ohio State football game. We arrived four hours before game time to find the area already quite packed with fans. The tail gate parties were impressive. We found a little stand outside the Sports Arena that served great grilled hot dogs and tocos. We shared a cold brew with some young fans while watching the UCLA game in the lobby of the Sports Arena. We talked to a few Ohio State fans about what the term Buckie (apparently it is nut) means. We entered the stadium 2 hours early and watched all the festivities on the field. USC fans mingled with Ohio State fans in what promised to be an exciting match. As the game progressed we became embarassed by the actions of some USC fans. The jabs at the Ohio State fans became less than friendly. One person in front of us stood up most of the game blocking the view of Ohio State fans trying to watch the game while talking non-stop about the USC dominance. Comming from Michgan I have no love for Ohio State but did want to sit and enjoy the game. I may need to put the disruptive fan number on auto dial on my cell. Oh wait there was no cell recption on my phone, only the guy in the front row who taliked almost not stop to someone on his phone. I wonder what service he had?
