On Saturday afternoon, the Ohio State football team boarded a massive charter plane that's currently taking them from cold and gray Columbus to New Orleans, where a Sugar Bowl bout against No. 1 Alabama awaits.
They did so in style, making the flight in what the school called Buckeye 1, a two-story Boeing 747 with 350 seats – 10 across separated by two aisles – and staffed by 15 flight attendants, one pilot and a first officer who is an Ohio State graduate.
