UPDATE: The BTN must have added another C-64 to their cluster because the game is now flowing smoothly. Additionally, Bucknuts is live-blogging the game and 1460 has a radio feed you can grab.
If you live out of state, like myself, or are otherwise unable to attend the spring game in person, you had hoped to be able to turn to the BTN's website for a live telecast of the event. And then your hope turned to frustration when you realized the network was hosting the game on a Commodore 64 in the basement of their Park Ridge operations.
If you do manage to get the game up in your browser, here are the rosters to help you follow the action:
| Scarlet | Gray | |

| OT | Alex Boone, J.B. Shugarts | Bryant Browning, Andrew Miller |
| OG | Connor Smith, Evan Blankenship | Zach Slagle, Chris Malone, Kyle Mitchum |
| C | Jim Cordle | Andrew Moses, Scott Sika |
| QB | Todd Boeckman, Antonio Henton | Joe Bauserman, Antonio Henton |
| FB | Curtis Terry, Austin Spitler | Spencer Smith |

With so many players out (Beanie, Robo, Rehring, Person) and the funky format, it won't necessarily be a great game to watch, but from the perspective of seeing who's looking hot, the game can be a goldmine.
The Vest mentioned that the troubled three should see action, although "not as much as they would like". The Buckeyes are hosting a ton of recruits, including LiC. For a pretty good breakdown on who's coming and what it may mean, head over to Our Honor Defend.
If you are at the game, let's hope the weather cooperates. Right about now, it doesn't look like it's going to. That is, if "definite light rain showers" means the same thing to you as it does to me.
