Yeah, but the stadium was uphill, both ways.

I went down to the game that season they lost to the Seminoles. FSU shut down the Buckeyes running game and Art Schlichter thru for an unheard of 450 some yds or sum such. Friends & GFs  from H.S attending could always procure some duckets cheap. They lost by like 9 but the game didn't really feel that close.Fun fact Nick Saban was on Earle Bruce's staff

I hadn't ever considered going to a UNLV game because they are so terrible, but it might be a good way to check out the new Raiders stadium. You can probably get great seats for a fair price.

Only 5 home games? 

This makes me laugh at all the fans today that insist you need to have at least 7 home games a year.

Regular season was 10 games back in the day.  No CCGs and your bowl game made it 11.

For a 12-game regular season, well, you better have at least 6 home games.

Annual neutral site games notwithstanding.

Yes, the 12 game regular season only started on the 2000's.  But I find it funny that fans today consider 7 home games as some God-given right that has been around forever.

I agree and I'll add that I think it is a mistake by the AD. Ohio State NEVER had trouble selling tickets, even for crappy-opponent games back in the day. 

Now I can see evidence of demand softening. Maintaining demand is the key to keeping the gravy train rolling. Demand is stronger when you have six or seven homee games and only one or two crappy ones.
