SBNation Reacts: What part of game day has you most excited? And we put our own OSU spin on the question.

Fill out are more Buckeye-specific poll.

By Matt Tamanini

Friends, we are just 38 days away from Ohio State kicking off the 2021 football season on Sept. 2 in the not-yet-frozen tundra of Minneapolis against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Coming off of the utterly bizarre 2020 season, which saw cardboard cutouts populating stadiums, fake (sometimes extremely obviously) crowd noise being pumped into stadiums, no marching bands, cheerleaders, or fans in sight, and many more oddities, it now appears — for better or for worse — that college football will look more or less like the sport that we all know and love in just over five week’s time.

So, as we prepare for the return of college football’s beloved pomp and circumstance, this week’s SBNation Reacts survey asked college football fans what they were most excited about.

Check out the results below (and my commentary below that):

Now, with all due respect to the analytics overlords who come up with these questions, no shit, people are most excited about on-field action. We are football fans, so of course the actual football is the thing that we would be most looking forward to.

But since we are college football fans, we also love the traditions and pageantry that surround the sport. So, I decided to take a crack at putting together a poll specifically for Ohio State fans that assumes the obvious — that everyone is most excited for the IRL football — but also takes into account the unique traditions that come with being an Ohio State fan.

Vote for what you’re most looking forward to, and if the thing that you are most geeked to return isn’t in the list, let me know in the comments below.
