Blacksburg or bust: Ohio State band buses break down

Two buses carrying the Ohio State University marching band to Blacksburg, Va., for a performance at tonight's game have broken down in West Virginia.

An Ohio State spokesman, though, doesn't expect them to miss a beat.

A replacement bus was on its way to Charleston, W.Va., to pick up band members that were stranded when two buses broke down there, said Chris Davey, university spokesman.

“My guess is they're probably on the bus by now,” he said.

Charleston is about three hours from Blacksburg, where the Buckeyes kickoff their national title defense against the Virginia Tech Hokies tonight at 8 p.
