Yep, I got the answers I needed from some knowledgeable people. And just for the record,I live in Columbus and I'm an OSU fan. For some reason though my sister decided to go to school near South Bend and worse, decided to marry an ND fan. However, I love the campus and as a football fan going to a game here has always been a dream, and when my sister's father-in-law got me free tickets I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Understandable. Nothing wrong with going to a game and enjoying one of CFB's most historic venues. As long as you don't become one of the awkward kids wearing their Notre Dame hoodie around OSU campus.

Umm, no. Actually, I'm wearing my OSU (and a Notre Dame shirt), and the guy I brought with me is the awkward guy wearing an OSU jersey right now.

It must be nice for ND to only have to educate the already educated. When you recruit people from rich families and private school education, of course you are going to have a good majority graduate. Ohio State approaches education differently. We take in those who are marginal citizens and turn them into world class leaders making a positive impact both on and off the field. Let me give you perhaps a better analogy. Notre Dame recruits diamonds and turns them into diamonds; Ohio State takes in coal and turns them into diamonds. I'll take the latter twice a day and three times on Sunday.

You are absolutely clueless. This did make my roommate and I laugh out-loud though. Thank you for this.
