In Case You Missed It

Pryor will try to avenge the loss in prime time.

Due to my internet betraying me and Blogger going down a day after I got it back, here's a recap of the big story over the end of the week. Normal posting will now continue.

It was announced that Ohio State will have 2 games in prime time. Miami and Wisconsin are the games that are in prime time as of right now. Kickoff in Miami will be at 7:30 or 8 p.m. on Sept. 17. The game will be broadcast on either ABC or ESPN.

The teams played in Columbus last season, with the Buckeyes winning 36-24. The 2011 match-up will be Ohio State's first trip to play the Hurricanes in Miami. 

Meanwhile, the Badger game will be carried by ABC, ESPN or ESPN2 in Columbus. Pryor and co. will be in tow as they try and avenge their loss to Wisconsin way back in October.

This is the third prime time game for the Buckeyes, as it is added to the Ohio State-Nebraska game, which will be a dandy in Lincoln. The Tat Five and Tressel will be returning in that game, so you know the build up to that point will be incredibly large.

Traveling to Lincoln?

It's that good

Ed. Note: As part of welcoming Nebraska to the Big Ten, Katie is giving Buckeye (and non-buckeye) fans some good advice, if you're headed down to Lincoln for games.

This fall we have a rare opportunity as Buckeye fans. We have the chance to visit a NEW conference opponent, a NEW (to us) Stadium and to interact with a new fan base.

Are you planning on making the trip out to Lincoln to see the Tat 5 and Coach Tressel make their return to the field? To see Bo Pelini chomp his gum and yell at brother Carl?

In the next few posts I will show you a few of the places, as an Ohio native I want to make sure my fellow Buckeye's don't miss out on!

Air Travel: Both Omaha and Lincoln have airports but you will most likely find better deals for flying into Omaha than into Lincoln (air travel volume in Lincoln isn't that high so Omaha prices tend to be cheaper). But you will have to get a rental car to travel from Omaha to Lincoln. Southwest Airlines flies our of Port Columbus and also Omaha...a great way to go, with no baggage fees!

Lincoln is a very small airport and I would suggest flying in here if you are looking for quick in and out visit. Many hotels have shuttles from the airport, and if you are close enough downtown, you could walk to the game, and also have plenty of food options within walking distance as well.
