... boy was that game ugly, but we somehow won.
And, no one went to jail in Nelsonville.

I'm thinking the magic of Chris Kisor could have been a factor in all the goings-on in Peden Stadium.

RE: 22.5 hours, tailgate, game and 468 miles later...
I have to say that as this was my first time at Peden for a game and even as ugly as some parts of the game went I am happy I made the trip from Dayton and then back home after game. First what a great drive. I can only imagine what it is like when the leaves start to turn. Very nice campus, alittle spread out for me but nice. Not one Ohio fan was an a** to myself or my wife.
As far as the game went--- we killed ourselves with some weird play calling, penelites, and the worst of all FG kicking. I chose to order my tickets in visitors section so I could sit with fellow Rocket fans up in the corner of the place. I still feel we are to nice letting visitors sit down low on the sidelines. I though our student base was bad at leaving at half time but Ohio students left at a very high level at half time of a tied game. I would say atleast 60-70 % left. At 19,000 people the noise level was pretty high. I guess it is because both sides of feild has fans involved in chants.

There are so many bars nearby that they need all the drinking time they can get.
