Author’s Note: I have attempted to recreate the fan experience at TCU-Ohio State through a chronological lens, complete with timestamps. I took notes on my phone before, during, and after the game. Where indicated, I have included those notes verbatim in this column. I will try to decipher them for you, as I was typing quickly, often in the rain and with a post-tailgate buzz. Nothing has been embellished. I like to practice journalistic objectivity and don’t wear team colors to games when I’m in press boxes — but for this piece, I was intentionally embedded with TCU fans, and so wore the appropriate purple.
