Ohio State's third-best Spring Game tradition is its timing.
If your firsthand Buckeye football recollections don't span beyond the cocaine-encrusted 1980s you can't appreciate the scheduling of this Saturday's hotly anticipated fake football game. This includes me. I have no lucid 1970s memories and the following decade was just D.A.R.E. propaganda and 9-3 football seasons.
I never lived through the old timing, in May. It's just always been a fun April scrimmage. I'll speak for myself and my juniors - friends, we were born in the right era.
Prior to 1980 the Internet was still called UseNet.
