To Ohio State fans, this is the game of the century. There was a riot on the campus after they clinched going to Tempe. I heard there's a "Countown to Tempe" clock on one of the local stations in Columbus. Reminds me of when I lived in Syracuse and the local media hyped a big SU football game to no end. They were excessive in their coverage. In interviews with the players, they were constantly saying things like "We have a chance". "We can play with this team". The kind of things you begin to say when you are not so confident. The same statements you hear coming from OSU players this week. In the end, Syracuse received a beating.
To Miami fans, it's just another championship game. After the last game (I was there), fans hung out for a little while. Pretty calm. Going to another championship. Cool.
What does this difference mean?
Anyway, I think OSU will cover ;-)
