COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF
Did you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of an Ohio State football game? Well, we did, too. And what we found was compelling and in most instances, incredibly in-depth.
In fact, it was so in-depth that even after publishing a 12-page story on the subject in Ohio State Alumni Magazine, we still had plenty of good material remaining. We took some of those additional game-day tales and have included them here. We also supplemented those stories with some other elements we felt would be interesting to any fan of Ohio State football.
What’s included here is expanded content that supplements the July/August cover story in Ohio State Alumni Magazine. The magazine is a benefit of membership in the Alumni Association. To get your copy when it’s hot off the press, join now.

OHIO STATE FOOTBALL SEASON PREVIEW: TRESSEL-BALL, VERSION 2006
Ohio State fans might be watching a different brand of Tressel-ball this year.

That could change this year. Read more.
