The Ohio State Football Tickets have been coveted since 1890. The early years were filled with successes, including a 128-0 victory over Oberlin College in 1916, but big time football hit Columbus in 1940 when a high school football coach named Paul Brown was named head coach. Brown immediately changed Ohio State's style of offense, planned and organized his program in great detail, and delegated to his assistant coaches using highly-structured practices. In 1942, Ohio State lost 22 veteran players to military service at the start of World War II, and with a team of mostly sophomores went on to lose only once in winning its first national championship. Brown left Ohio State after the War, and a few years later, Woody Hayes was hired.
Hayes made Ohio State Football what it is today. He was aggressive and vocal. Fans, despite an tough initial season, desired Ohio State Football Tickets as they could feel the energy beginning to build in Columbus. And build it did. In what was only Woody Hayes' fourth season at Ohio State, he struck gold with a perfect record and a national championship. Several outstanding players made up the 1954 team including Howard "Hopalong" Cassady and Robert Watkins on offense, and Jim Parker on defense. At the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes played a spectacular game against the Southern California Trojans, gaining 22 first downs and 370 yards on offense. They won the game and the 1954 national title.
Ohio State Football Tickets continued to be in high demand as Hayes led the Buckeyes to national championships in 1957, 1961, 1968 and 1970. The 1968 team was one of the best teams in college football history. Eleven players from this team earned All-American honors and six went on to become first round draft picks in the NFL. The team's breakout game came against the No. 1 ranked Purdue Boilermakers. The defense proved invincible in this game, scoring the first touchdown and shutting out the Boilermakers. The team tallied only victories throughout the rest of the season and found themselves in the Rose Bowl ranked No. 1, facing No. 2 Southern California. Coming from 10 points behind, the Buckeyes won the game 27-16.
Hayes would leave in a cloud of controversy after a few years of poor performances. The falloff in success of Hayes' last three years resulted in growing criticism of Hayes and his methods, particularly his on-the-field fits of temper. His downfall was sudden and shocking when at the 1978 Gator Bowl, Hayes took a swing at a Clemson University nose guard in frustration after an interception. Hayes was fired after the game.
Despite a downturn in success after Hayes' departure (at least by the high standards of Buckeye faithful) Ohio State Football Tickets remained hot. Earl Bruce and John Cooper led successful teams year after year but neither stayed for the long haul, or could get the Buckeye's another national championship. Bruce could not get over the hump, finishing 9-3 for 6 straight years leading to his dismissal. Cooper, despite some excellent seasons, was 2-10-1 against Michigan and 3-9 in bowl games.
Ohio State fans were enamored from the start with current coach Jim Tressel and Ohio State Football Tickets remained in demand. Tressel won four NCAA Division I-AA National Championships at Youngstown State. He was formerly an assistant coach for Earl Bruce, was a native Ohioan, and was considered to be appreciative of Buckeye football traditions. Tressel's first season was difficult as the Buckeyes finished 7-5, but beat Michigan in Ann Arbor which gave the Buckeye faithful something to cheer about.
Tressel then brought home Ohio State's 7th national championship on 2002. Ohio State used strong defense, ball-control play-calling, and field position tactics to win numerous close games. That year Ohio State Football Tickets were all the rage, as the Buckeyes went to the national title game and defeated the Miami Hurricanes in two overtimes in an instant classic BCS Championship Game.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are a national power every year. Ohio State Football Tickets are hard to get -- but you can be there to watch the Ohio State marching band "Dot the I" and play "Hang on Sloopy" in the fourth quarter with 102,000 strong singing along.
