Where are the fans?

This game is coming into focus. OSU’s offense looks good. Tech’s offense looks good. OSU’s defense stinks. Tech’s defense stinks. And neither team’s fans have distinguished themselves. Tech’s contingent up from Lubbock is well below Big 12 standards. Less than 2,000 I’d say. Most Big 12 teams draw 4,000 or so, and Texas or Nebraska will get much more than that. Of course, OSU fans haven’t turned out, either. Perhaps still smarting from the loss to Troy, pockets of empty seats dot the north side of Boone Pickens Stadium. This crowd will come in under 40,000.
