Secret: my post was sarcastic tooCan’t do that. The Michigan players might have an issue
I mean what’s next, the players show up dressed with glasses and bow ties? As Columbus’ most ever famous person?

Worst idea: they walk out dressed like Guy Fieri
Best idea: they walk out dressed like World War I fighter pilots like Eddie Rickenbacker

Don't know but keep in mind March 1 is way outside of marching band season. Most of OSU's spring performances are done by the Spring Athletic Band which is a class that just about anyone is allowed to join.
But let's be real, neither team wants this tied to OSU and Michigan so I highly doubt there will be any performances by any OSU musical ensembles.

Someday, we’ll have an NHL team.
I wonder if this announcement will light a fire under the asses of some of the players.
Let's face it: This season is lost, and this team isn't good. It should be a given that there will be a fair amount of roster turnover between now and the time the Stadium Series game happens. Knowing that this is on the horizon as something to look forward to might motivate some people to work a little harder to stay here.
Maybe.

Maybe.
But I'd also hope wanting a Stanley Cup ranks higher on the career aspirations list than playing an outdoor game.
I'd prefer that they didn't. If you didn't care enough to work hard before, we can't count on you to work hard when your job is not on the line.
That said, I don't think the problem is the guys not working hard. With the possible exception of Gaudreau, they work hard, they just don't have the talent to win.

Grats Jacket fans. I'm a transplant from Cleveland living in very southern Va. Became a Canes fan as soon as they moved from Hartford. The Stadium series game the Cane shad last year was awesome hope yours ends up the same. I will certainly watch.
That being said Jackets come out in sweater vests

This will make it so much better than if they imagined that Columbus was noteworthy for any other reason than being the home to a major university. I will be wearing red to support my favorite hocky team. I also hope this means my dream of the OSU marching band being the between-periods entertainment comes true.

I for one am looking forward to even more bellyaching about the very existence of the school that is in a very literal way responsible for my existence. It really adds to all the griping about JD still having a job, third period breakdowns, why trading/not trading Jenner is Obviously The Right Thing, and other enriching, not at all soul-draining topics.

You should ignore this place and get into high school hockey. Lots of intrigue this week as the defending state champion Olentangy Liberty have placed their coaching staff on leave and have their JV coaches coaching the team. Might help your Golden Bears get back to the Frozen Four. UA has momentum after winning the CBJ Cup.
Olentangy Schools: 3 coaches for defending state champion Liberty hockey placed on leave
Three coaches for defending state champion Liberty hockey have been placed on leave, Olentangy Schools confirmed in a statement to The Dispatch.

Hope it doesn’t turn into an OSU-UM thing, but it wouldn’t be too surprising if some OSU involvement was a condition of using their stadium.

I plan to do my fair share. I confess some of it is just to lean into my curmudgeonly-ness, but not all.
I mean, as you celebrate its literal responsibility for your existence (for which I’m also appreciative) what of anyone for whom there is no connection whatsoever? Is all I’m saying. And yet somehow I manage to call central Ohio home.

Of course and that’s totally reasonable. And yet I plan to bellyache nonetheless.
I'm in Columbus because I worked for a fast casual restaurant chain that had a location across the street from campus and needed a manager there, so I got moved. My only other personal connection to the university other than dealing with the rude ass OSU alumni who can't hold their alcohol (no issue with the students, though they also couldn't hang compared to my Bobcats) is my grandfather getting his Masters there in the late 60s. I don't care about football. I have never cared about OSU. I'm very leery of the game having a full OSU theme.
