this is like a peak offseason post, but I have never seen OSU play Tennessee in my life time, so I find us playing them very unique, and like seeing random stuff like this.
* This is the first orange branded team we have played since Clemson in 2020
* The average temp in Columbus in December is 41H 25L. Average temp in Knoxville is 51H 30L.
* There are 3 Ohioans on the Volunteer roster, although none of them had an OSU offer: Titus Rohrer (Bryan, OH) PWO TE, Jackson Locke (Granville, OH) PWO WR, William Satterwhite (Barberton, OH) IOL. We have two players from Tennessee: Zak Herbstreit from Nashville and Max Leblanc from Chattanooga.
* There is one former Buckeye on their roster: SAF Andre Turrentine (he is from Nashville)
* This is the largest stadium that Tennessee has played in. Like in their entire history as a football program. It is rare that they get a chance to play in a stadium bigger than their own (Neyland is the 6th largest stadium in the sport at 102,000, the Shoe is the 3rd at 102,780), and they have never played at Mich or PSU (the only stadiums bigger than ours). The have only played in a stadium bigger than their own once: @ LSU 2022 post renovation at 102,321. They only played at Texas A&M (102,733) prior to expansion when they were still in the 90,000s.
^ edit: that is all accurate for a football stadium. But I forgot they did play against VT at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016, which holds the record for the largest CFB crowd in history at 156,000.
* Ohio State currently has 61 nfl players. Tennessee has 37.
* There nearest Chipotle to Ohio Stadium is 0.8 miles. The nearest Chipotle to Neyland Stadium is 0.5 miles.
* Ohio State's tallest player currently is P Nick Mclarty at 6'7''. Tennessee's tallest player currently is OT Jeremias Heard at 6'8''.
* Ohio State's highest rated recruit currently is WR Jeremiah Smith at .9997. Tennessee's is QB Nico Iamaleava at .9980. They have 4 5-stars currently, we have 14.
* Neyland Stadium to Ohio Stadium is 360 miles. closer than Ohio Stadium is to Camp Randall, Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, Rutgers SHI Stadium, Kinnick Stadium, Huntington Bank Stadium, and SECU stadium in MD.
* My ex GF went to Tennessee and she is a terrible person.
Go bucks, whoop them hillbillies
