If I'm not mistaken, they typically go to one or two away games a year, plus TSUN when that's an away game for them. they've got their fairly new Steinbrenner band room in Ohio Stadium--I hardly think they're struggling.

We can't bring ourselves into complience with the universities own visual standards... let alone go to extra games! We have UCF... thats it.They have a "band room".... we have a horrible looking broken down trailer on the edge of campus. I doubt you want to start this arguement.

I think if there's one game OSU would want their Band to go to for the purpose of spirit, it's this one. It's easy enough for them to get their Band to Big 10 games I would think.

It's probably at least half a mil to have the band at Texas.It would have cost UCF almost 2mil to send the band to the Hawaii Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
