On the third floor of the Tuttle Garage across the street from Ohio Stadium on Saturday night, four Ohio State Buckeyes fans were huddled around the tail bed of a white Toyota Tacoma. A bag of Fritos and a few soft drinks were nearby, but they never took their eyes off the iPad they had set up.
They had just watched the Buckeyes thump the Iowa Hawkeyes, but that seemed like ancient history all of a sudden. The perpetual Southeastern Conference doormat Vanderbilt Commodores were running out the clock on the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the two men and their sons were watching in giddy disbelief.
