Maybe Holtman looked and saw no clark and no Washington and agreed.
Holtmann had said something about having some of the local teams playing each other since being at Ohio state. I don't think the athletic department was too fond of his idea, but my guess is they came around. I'm hoping it's a blue bloods though, like UK, or Kansas, or Duke. Gut tells me WVU or OSU

Decent news, definitely better options out there, but none probably wanted to come to Clifton. UCLA, X and OSU is a nice OOC home sched. I do credit Holtman for having some balls and wanting to schedule this.

I think it's awesome! We have been wanting OSU to take us on for years and years and now we finally get it when we are not in a rebuilding year. What more can we ask? It's time to take back the state of OH!! Historically speaking there is not a program in OH that is better than ours...depending on how you want to break it down.

On paper OSU maybe doesn't have the shock factor that playing a game against Duke, Kansas, MSU, UNC or UK would have but I think it's the in-state rival thing that makes this more appealing that a random one off with any of the teams listed above.

It's a home and home so let's hope it can get extended and become a series. It would be great to be able to look forward to another rivalry game year in and year out.

Since it is OSU, UC should assemble the 61 and 62 teams that beat OSU in the final 4 consecutive years and celebrate their accomplishments at halftime.

More important than a rivalry game, a sellout OOC game

Rivalry games typically sellout (see the crosstown shootout), I'd be willing to bet top dollar that should this series continue into the future any game we play at home vs OSU would be a sell out. That is assuming our program stays somewhat relevant.
