Random Thoughts After New Mexico State

You can't take too much away after a 45-0 win over a bad WAC team, but here are some thoughts that came to my mind:

*First off I know New Mexico State is not a game that a lot of people were really excited about, but the two student sections should have still been full. It took almost tell the end of the first quarter before they each reached their peak at 90%. This is Ohio State every game should be sold out and every student who has a ticket should be in The Shoe. There are people out there who would love to go to just one Buckeye football game, don't get spoiled because you know that you can go to another game in two weeks.

*If you come to Ohio State for the football, you stay for the band! (Just ask Joey D'Amico.) They had one of the best halftime shows that I have seen on Saturday. It had a Halloween theme and took a few shots at that team to the north along the way. Here are some pictures if you could not be there (or are an apathetic student)...

... And that is why they are The Best Damn Band In The Land.

*Finally, it was good to see Jim Tressel come to his senses and put in Joe Bauserman even if it was only for the second half.

I still hope to see you starting in Happy Valley, Joe!
