The regular season is always exciting for college football fans but nothing compares to the excitement and hype surrounding bowl season. Fans are scrambling to find low-priced flights and bargains on game tickets, with the opportunity to see the Buckeyes face a team they typically don't run into.

As a former player I'm sure I can speak for all players and say that the days or weeks leading up to a bowl game are fun and sometimes tiring. Playing under Jim Tressel, we had an old-school approach to bowl preparation: plenty of work, but ample time for the perks and social opportunities at the site.
