Less than 30 minutes until kickoff in Columbus, and there is a notable presence of Tennessee fans at Ohio Stadium. According to a long-time Buckeye fan, who has been attending Ohio State games for the past 40 years, this game has drawn the largest number of visiting fans he has ever witnessed. The fan attributed this influx of Tennessee supporters to lingering disappointment over Ohio State's recent loss to Michigan.
Observations suggest that approximately 30-40% of the stadium is filled with Volunteer fans, a surprising sight for a game hosted by the Buckeyes. Speculation arises that perhaps many Ohio State fans are arriving late to their seats due to the chilly 25-degree weather conditions.
