Florida Football  Back to Americas2002 Home Page

Tampa Bay Florida.  The Outback Bowl in the stadium normally used by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  There is actually a pirate ship at the other end of the field.

The teams are the Ohio State Buckeyes (good guys), and the University of South Carolina (bad guys) somethings.  Being an Ohio kind of a guy, I am a big booster of the Buckeyes, and of the Cleveland Browns....  especially since my Brother Ray bought the tickets to the game.

The Ohio State Cheering Section.  USC has their cheering section in the opposite corner of the field.

Ohio State cheering a touchdown.

There's the pirate ship.  Ohio State didn't get a touchdown until the fourth quarter.  By that time USC was ahead by 27 points.  In the fourth quarter, however, Ohio State had got 3 touchdowns and a field goal.  The cheering squad here is celebrating one of the touchdowns.  Unfortunately, OSU needed 4 more points to win.  Note the Pirate ship at the other end of the field.  Pretty tacky, but that's football in America.

These people in front are doing the OSU cheer.  O__H__I__O.  Think Y M C A.
