Ohio State Football - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

There's no arguing that Ohio State Football deserves a five star review. They're the 2024 National Championship college football team, with many other titles under their belt. During the football season, they are constantly ranked at the top. Many of their players have won the Heisman Trophy Award. They have some of the best coaches and recruit some of the best players out there. The Ohio State fanbase is unlike any other college football team. They would definitely win the "most school spirit" superlative if they were in high school. Their band is widely known as "the best damn band in the land." I could go on and on. If you ever get the chance to go to one of their home games, you'll likely agree. read more

My team is not Ohio State, but I've always enjoyed watching them. This is my second time seeing them in person but my first time at their historic stadium. The campus is beautiful and large....LARGE...and unfortunately the general parking is TERRIBLE!! My recommendation is to buy a parking pass and get as close to the stadium as possible! Or get one of those bike guys to give you a ride back to your car or roads a motorized scooter! Trust me the walks can be long and uncomfortable. But let me get back to the game. OSU Fans...nice not too crazy. Stadium Environment one of the best around. This years team...athletic super stars everywhere! Food...priced well, long lines move fast. There are over 103,000 that can fit in this stadium. It's a great time and if you're a college football lover it's a must see in person. read more

This is my alma mater and my football team. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I got hooked when attending OSU grad school. I saw TBDBITL do script Ohio and the drum major did a back bend to touch his plume to the ground behind him. Showmanship at it's finest. Whoever thought of all that deserves a plaque. In 2002, my saintly mother said if OSU wins the national championship she will run outside in her pajamas and shout "Go Bucks!" We did, and she did. She repeated the act in 2014 when the Buckeyes defeated the Oregun Clucks. Now she is 92 and plans to do the same come January 2022. Muck Fichigan. Go Bucks! read more

Ohio State Football - Beat down. Poor Spuddy didn't see it coming. Mee-chicken State is still in Mee-shitgun. - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The Ohio State University has claimed eight national championships in football. Outside of schools from the Ivy League, which won most of the championships in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the only schools to win more titles than Ohio State are Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, and USC (Southern California). Historically, the Buckeyes have been a powerhouse in college football and command one of the biggest programs in terms of student body, fanbase, and revenue. To date, Ohio State has also won a staggering 38 Big Ten titles, topped only by Michigan (42). During my lifetime, I remember both of Ohio State's national championships: 2002 (won January 3, 2003) and 2014 (won January 12, 2015). In 2002, the Buckeyes were led by coach Jim Tressel. Tressel was known for his sweater vest. Ohio State beat Miami (FL), 31-24, in an epic, double overtime thriller at the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. They finished the season undefeated at 14-0. Star players for Ohio State included quarterback Craig Krenzel and running back Maurice Clarett. For Miami, stars included quarterback Ken Dorsey, running back Willis McGahee, and tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. The Hurricanes' coach was Larry Coker. Coker led Miami to the national title the year before (2002 Rose Bowl, 2001 season). The 2003 Fiesta Bowl was a great matchup. Both teams came into the game undefeated and ranked in the top two in the AP and Coaches polls (Miami 1/1, Ohio State 2/2). Ohio State's 2014 title game wasn't as exciting nor was the matchup as intriguing. Both teams came into the game with one loss. AP No. 5 Ohio State and their opponent, No. 3 Oregon, were each 13-1. In 2014-15, the Buckeyes were led by coach Urban Meyer. Meyer had previously won two national championships at Florida: 2006 and 2008, both with quarterback Tim Tebow. Coincidentally, it was the Meyer-led Florida team that trounced the Tressel-led Ohio State team, 41-14, at the 2007 Tostitos BCS National Championship. In 2015, Ohio State became the first team to win the College Football Playoff National Championship. Ohio State routed Oregon, 42-20, and finished the season 14-1. The star of the game was Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott who scored an eye-popping four rushing touchdowns. The big name for Oregon was quarterback Marcus Mariota. To me, the most remarkable story from Ohio State's 2014 title run was the situation at quarterback. Cardale Jones, the team's third-string quarterback entering the season, ended up going 3-0 in his first three career starts. They were all big games: (1) the 2014 Big Ten Championship vs. No. 11 Wisconsin, (2) the 2015 Allstate Sugar Bowl / CFB Playoff Semifinal vs. No. 1 Alabama, and (3) the aforementioned CFB Playoff National Championship. Injuries to Braxton Miller (the previous starting QB and 2012 and 2013 Big Ten MVP) and JT Barrett (second-string QB, 2016 Big Ten MVP) paved the way for Jones. What a story. read more

Unbelievable venue to watch a college football game. Steeped in Tradition as you walk through campus you feel the vibe of a century old establishment and tradition. I happen to have a broken leg at the time so we utilized handicap parking at the Lane Street Garage which is nearby to the gates or offers a shuttle service if you prefer to ride. The band entertains before the game as well as a magnificent halftime show including script Ohio. Many folks say it's tough to get tickets but I found tickpick.com to have plenty of seats with no extra fees! Can't wait for the next game. read more

When I first moved to Columbus from California in 1989, I was cordially invited to experience the Buckeye's home opener against Oklahoma State. Having grown up in Philly and weaned by the Eagles in the hallowed halls of Veteran's Stadium year in and year out; having lost my voice at every home game in the early '80s at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse (when the Orangemen had a real team); having endured two years as a Raiders season ticket holder in the soaking sun of the LA Coliseum - I actually thought that I had experienced football at its best. Well - I WAS WRONG! As I sat in my seat in the very first row on the corner of the end zone at the open end of the cathedral called Ohio Stadium, I took one look around and said (in awe), "THIS IS FOOTBALL!" The game hadn't even started yet. Needless to say, the Silver Bullets creamed the Cowboys that life-changing September afternoon. That was my official indoctrination into the lore we Ohioans know, live and breath as Buckeye Football and I've been hooked ever since. Need I say more? If you're a Buckeye, you know the story. If not, get to Ohio Stadium before you die. This is where legends are forged. This is where time stops during a classic OSU/Michigan game. This is where boys become men. There's nothing like it in the world and I'm damn proud to be an adopted native and loyal fan of the greatest college football program in the world. "O-H!"..."I-O!" GO BUCKS! read more

This is House that Harley Built, one of the most iconic stadiums in all of college football, and one of the largest stadiums in the country. Ohio State football is rooted in tradition, and the stadium reflects that by blending historic elements with modern ones. Whether you arrive at Ohio Stadium as a diehard Buckeye or to root against us, you'll still know you are experiencing football history. This is a stadium that has been filled every autumn Saturday for nearly a century to watch a team that has competed for 125 years. National champions, legends, and the only two time Heisman winner all ran on this field. Game day is unlike any other. The atmosphere is electric. When you have over 105,000 people gathered to witness this team fight for a win, you'll understand the feeling. The environment is better than any other I've experienced. An additional (unlucky) 100,000 people gather every Saturday to tailgate outside the stadium and won't even get into the game! My favorite tradition is signing Carmen Ohio, the alma mater, after every game - win or lose. Stay till the end to sing! While you're at it, get there early to catch the ramp entrance and the pre-game show! Come and watch the Best Damn Band in the Land with us, and Go Bucks! read more

The Ohio state Buckeyes. Welcome to the home of the best damn team in the land. With the addition of Urban Meyer we have ensured years of success. Sit back and enjoy the show. If you live in the Chicago area and want to watch the game at a great Ohio State bar then read my review of McGee's here http://www.yelp.com/biz/mcgees-chicago#hrid:K1LqlCvAX7UJTpkYwPgTJg read more

Thank you Urban Meyer for an amazing run -- good luck as you address the health issues and the next chapter of your life. Best wishes to Coach Ryan Day as well! read more

In my mind, it is already football season. The spring game was this weekend and I felt like it was already fall and the season was in full swing! There were crowds of Buckeye fans every where all decked out in Scarlet and Grey!! I was literally skipping heading up to the stadium and could feel the energy! That's what is great about Ohio State Football - the energy! And what is even better about the spring game is that its only $5! AND (yes, there's more) if you buy the tickets at a McDonald's, then $1 goes to Ronald McDonald House charities. Ohio State Football and doing some good. That makes for a wonderful, easy on the wallet afternoon that's perfect for families, friends, and even dodging spring raindrops! read more

I've been contemplating this review for three years. How does one write a Yelp review of a football team? And more importantly why? I've come to unsatisfactory answers that I am going to go with. The how is to describe the experience a fan has that adds color to life. The why because visting fans and first time Buckeyes want to know the scoop. Ohio State football as with all spectator sports adds a special type of entertainment and drama that destroys the fourth wall. This is the answer to non-fans question on why we act like the game is life or death. It's not life or death, of course, but neither is an actor hanging from a ledge in a movie. Yet we suspend our disbelief watching shows to gain the effects of drama, effect written about since Aristotle. In sports there is no suspension of disbelief as the game is real and the outcome isn't scripted. Instead fans suspend 'attitudes of non-importance.' By adding an importance that is not there, by identifying with a team, we increase dramatic effects to a level that storytelling can not reach. With its tradition, place in a large city with few pro teams, its part in a large University, and its state anchoring status the Buckeyes of the Ohio State University is the ideal team to provide this excitement. Of course there are problems and issues, legit criticisms that can't be handwaved. Do we need to waste so much resources on a game? It is a school so are sports a drag on education? How can we not pay athletes when billions are made by others not on the field? And locally, does Ohio State football hurt Columbus's reputation around the world? These are just some of the negatives that the Buckeyes bring. Home games though are loads of fun and bring economic activity to the city. Students have the most fun. Walking up Neal or down any street north of Lane reveals silver keg after silver keg glittering outside homes with students dressed in sharp scarlet and grey playing Cornhole or Beerpong. Lane itself is stuffed full of tailgaters, food trucks, and venders. The brass sounds of the tOSU matching band fill the air. Its a huge multi-block party from 10th avenue to Norwich, from Summit to Olengtangy River Road. Ideal for shaking off stress by people watching, drinking, eating, and just experiencing the energy, especially big games. For first time visitors I recommend exploring the campus. Places to see before games are the Oval, Mirror Lake, Buckeye Grove, and the Main Library. There are a couple museums on campus that may make a nice cultural balance. Skull Session, a home game pep-rally, happens in St John arena two hours before kick-off. For the more rambunctious, Lane and High Street provides student bars and block parties--enjoy them while they last. Join the line outside and high five the team as the walk to the Stadium. First time musts at the game are: the teams entrance, the halftime show with script Ohio and what other cool thing this world famous band comes up with, and after a victory the singing of Carmen, Ohio at the south endzone. Parking is done off Ackerman Road or at many garages and private lots around campus. If you want to save money, there are always street side spaces down Summit and Neil south of campus. Do not park at mall lots, you will be towed. read more
