Passing through Ohio we made a stop in Columbus – home to “thee” Ohio State University. Even some locals we talked to laughed at the use of “thee” by OSU fans and alumni.

The campus is big. Not nearly as pretty as Ann Arbor and the Michigan Campus. We had a couple of students take our picture, then we drove over to the stadium to check it out. The guys there made us take off our hats – guess the block M threatens them.

Let’s face it, college football stadiums are cool, and this one is too. With a capacity of just over 104,000, it’s smaller the Michigan’s Big House (capacity over 109,000), but on game day, I’m sure it’s a great atmosphere.

Inside Ohio Stadium

One thing I found very interesting as we drove around Columbus was the complete lack of bumperstickers, window stickers and flags promoting OSU. Drive into Ann Arbor, and around the state, and you regularly see Michigan bumperstickers and flags. Curious.

Off to Michigan… Go Blue!!
