Ohio Stadium will be the site of at least 10,000 rabid Buckeye fans this evening as the team will host an open practice and autograph session. The session will take place on Thursday - after being rained out on Monday.

The gates will open at 6:30 p.m. and the first 10,000 fans will have a chance to get their favorite Buckeye's autographs. At 8 p.m., fans will have a chance to watch their 2007 Buckeyes practice.

How big is football in Ohio? This open practice will be seen live on Ohio News Network. That's right, a PRACTICE is being seen live on television.

Ohio State annually draws over 70,000 to the spring game and more than 105,000 to game days so it will be fun to see how many people show up for tonight's practice.

I want to go, but with the wife being a fan of the "state up north" it looks like a long shot.
