As you know, college football season is about to start. I'm looking for some fellow Ohio State alums or fans to watch the games with. You know our fan base has a certain aura of crazy, and watching with non-fans just can't give me the same experience. I'm not sure as to the where, or the how...but I'm looking for the who. I just want someone to sing the Buckeye Battle Cry with. Any takers?

O-H!

I live in Bundang, but I'm up for travelling. I'm looking into finding a way of streaming the games online. I know that some games are carried in bars in Itaewon or Hongdae, but with the time difference, most of them won't be starting until at least 1am, and that's on the earlier noon game days. So maybe if we can figure out the best way to watch it, we could get a Buckeye football watching coalition started. You know, we rotate houses, and do plenty of pregame drinking / tailgating, watch the game, catch the early morning subway/buses home. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll keep investigating the best ways to watch online.

We play Navy in 21 days!

If you're having a hard time getting psyched up, this should help. It's had me pumped up for days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zot9LQlr7lI&feature=player_embedded

I'm a Gator, but last year I was given an Ohio State Football Grey Tshirt by a business partner as a gag gift. It's a men's large.

Anyone that wants it, must first get me drunk - I like good quality beer, so no soju or Korean beer will do. Very Happy

I - O!

Don't know if I am hardcore enough to stay up sooo late to watch games, but if we recorded them and watched them the next day/night I would probably be up for that..

haha forward observer, that was a good gag gift. are you a girl or is the shirt just too big?

huge buckeye fan here

but you can pretty much forget about bars showing games here, it just doesnt get as much play as the epl which is shown at a number of bars here (Phillies in HBC, Hollywood and Scrooge and maybe Sam Ryans in Itaewon). times just dont mesh with bar times. the only american football game that gets shown in bars here is the super bowl

best bet is all the online streaming justin.tv and channelsurfing.net seem to have the best selections. You will be able to watch the big OSU games (USC, Penn St, M*ch) for sure on those sites. espn might also be again offering their gameplan option for us overseas viewers

remember folks this aint the states where a bar can aim their sat to pickup anything

I'm only a fan when an OSU win against Big Blue sends my Spartans to the Rose Bowl. Or if I want to see all the U-M fans have a crappy night.

Other than that the great state of Michigan would do well to annex Toledo and all that was wrongfully taken down to Sandusky. Razz

Yeah, I wasn't counting on really getting to watch the games out at a bar. Some of my coworkers mentioned that they might be on in Itaewon or something, but I'd rather watch it someplace less crazy. Thanks for the tips on where to watch the games online. Interested in getting together to watch them during the season?

And I'm pretty sure that the reason ForwardObserver doesn't want the OSU shirt isn't because of their gender or the size....I mean, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in a Gator's shirt.

OSU won't make it to the big dance. They will lose 1-2 games this year. My guess is to USC or Penn State. Then again, Michigan has the markings of being a big upset. A Michigan team with nothing to lose vs. an OSU team looking ahead.

Florida won't make it to the National Championship this year. In fact, no SEC team will.

I don't think Florida goes without Percy. Bama is going to lose to VT. VT-Bama will be a veteran QB versus a new QB. In the big games like this, the team with the veteran QB usually wins. Both teams have a great Defense.
