One game down and many more to go of the season. I'm sure by now you have a normal routine you do on game day and if you're a freshman, you're still figuring things out. Here is my game day checklist (things tend to change each home game but generally the same)

1. Check the weather!

This might seem like something that doesn't matter much, but it does. Saturday I forgot to put sunscreen on and now my shoulder is burnt. As it gets colder, you'll have to dress appropriately.

2. Eat before going to the game

The price for food in the stadium is so expensive, plus once you're in your seat do you really want to move?

3. Be prepared to lose your voice

You never know how long the game will last or how tough of a game it will end up being. So be ready to not have much of a voice at all... plus all of the chants that the student section does.

4. Always wear something Ohio State

I have plenty of red in my closet, but not all have Ohio State stuff on it. Its always better to wear something Ohio State

5. Wear the right shoes

Sometimes wearing close toed shoes when it is warm out doesn't seem like fun, but walking to the stadium and standing for most of the game isn't advised in flip-flops.

6. WARM weather only -- Drink lots of water

It is so easy to get dehydrated when it is extremely warm out so make sure you are drinking the right amount of water.

7. COLD weather only -- Wear layers

When it is cold out and the wind blows over the stadium, it can feel a lot colder than normal. Always dress in layers when its cold because if its too cold, you can just take a layer off. Sometimes you will wish you had more layers later in the season.

8. Just have fun

Being the football fanatic I am, I can forget to have fun in the student section. I sometimes get too focused on the game. Granted it is a bummer IF you lose, but enjoy being around all of the students.
