This was my first OSU game in 1982, and for me is a classic. 10 point underdogs win the game by 10... I was a freshman in college (although not at OSU) and had an absolute blast that entire weekend celebrating with my friends who were students there. Watching the goalpost come down and exit the stadium...what a fine day.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Ohio State was a 10 point underdog against Michigan on the road in 81.Bucks won that one too. If 82 was an upset it was a mild one.Ohio State took a 5 game win streak into this game

[@markgriffin3442]

@@nathaniellathy6559 Mild? Maybe. I remember watching the goalposts leave the stadium and I ended up having a great time on high street that evening. OSU was a great experience for a kid going to a small private college, especially for "the game" and for my first B1G/OSU game also.

What a great video to watch on thanksgiving day with THE GAME two days away. This team with Tomczak, Tim Spencer and the rest is when I really started getting into football and the Buckeyes. GO BUCKS!!!

[@stephenevans7574]

I was 11 when this game was played. I remember just despising Anthony Carter, though he was such a great wide receiver for UM.

[@bradlafferty6076]

I went to Ohio State Football camp summer of 83. They were fixing the field in August....possibly going to grass, I don't remember. We practiced against Jim Tressels QBS, I was with the D backs. Earle Bruce was my head coach and Dom Capers was my defensive back coach. Pete Carrol left the year before. I met Archie Griffin running on one of the practice fields. Best week ever!

[@sriig]

Nick Saban had been there a year or two prior also.

[@rshelley7496]

You were with some buckey royalty there my man😎👊🏼

[@loydkline]

Wow ❤️ : archie griffin my hero

[@kvernon1]

The field was essentially hosed-down concrete. Their bodies must have taken such a beating back then.

[@robertbruce7772]

As a kid I was able to get down on the field after the spring games and yeah, that old turf was like playing on asphalt just with a really thin green carpet put over it. I was also able to meet the players in the locker room after actual games. All the linemen had horrible scarring on their knuckles. They should have kept real grass!!!

[@docseverson8188]

Yep....we played pickup games on the field in the mid 80’s and can vouch for how hard it was.

[@buckeyevinnie8456]

LOL i have always thought that too. Checkout my youtube channel BUCKEYE VINNIE, please watch my videos and sub to my channel thanks.

[@duewhit310]

Unconscionable. Subjecting people to that. And playing pickup games on it.......well the rocks in the head are bigger than the ones under the green carpet.

[@markcourson3151]

Graduated March of 82'. We used to play on the field and it was hard as a rock!

[@TS-ef2gv]

I grew up in Cbus as a big fan of the Bucks starting in the '60s. I remember watching this game live on TV from the west coast (9 am kickoff - yuck) where I was stationed in the military, and it making me homesick but also glad I wasn't back there in that dreary, damp late Nov Midwest weather. After winning this game the team was invited to the Holiday Bowl. It was strange seeing so many OSU gear-wearing fans around town starting the week before that game.

[@user-tm8ov6og3b]

Marcus Marek == the Michigan Drive Stopper - STILL the all time leading tackler at OSU!

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Strange to see this game on CBS. I've grown so used to it being on ABC

[@lloydkline1518]

ABC had Keith Jackson; I think he t❤ SEC;;; Pac ten football better than big ten::;

[@wdrauch]

There was some serious hitting going on in this game

[@JackycClark]

And the RB's were dishin out some too . Both OSU backs were bustin thru and over guys .

[@hazelwood55]

I went to Ohio State at the time. They used to talk about Doug Flutie being short. I used to see Mike Tomczak around campus. He could not have been more than 5'9".

[@Packman1294]

'82 was the first season I followed the Bucks from start to finish. It seemed almost hopeless after losing three in a row in the 'shoe (Tomczak was even benched for the Wisconsin game), but then the Bucks played as well as any team in the country the rest of the way. This one wasn't overly pretty, but what better way to cap off the regular season. Seems weird seeing the Bucks or any other Big Ten team on CBS after so many years on ABC or ESPN!

[@smtti32]

Great post as always! You made my morning. Keep 'em rollin!!

[@Quakerman14]

It's so strange to see how small the southern stands are.

[@hazelwood55]

Back then they were temporary stands. They took them down at the end of the season.

[@hazelwood55]

I982, it was a very good year. My last year at OSU. John Frank and Scott Zalenski were in some of my classes. They talk about Doug Flutie being short. Tomczak couldn't have been over 5'10".

[@sriig]

and he was way ahead of his time from a "taking care of one's body" perspective. The man was on an NFL roster in 2000, and even started several games in 1999.

[@carseye1219]

He used to drive one of my housemates back to Illinois sometimes. He was at least 6'.

[@BIGBUCK20]

Thanks for posting!! I remember this game like it was yesterday!! I lived in Colorado Springs then and the game came on @ 10:00 am. That logo @ midfield was really bad. Who's idea was that anyway?

[@2508bona]

That midfield logo looks like someone's bad imitation of an UNO card. Thank goodness better turf has arrived. 😀

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

+Chris Barat Yes, it does look like an UNO card. The midfield was just silly, although it would have been no matter what. I think a script Ohio (like the band formation) would be cool in the middle.

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

For those who aren't old enough to remember, did you notice that beautiful track around the football field? Jesse Owens ran on that. In 1999, OSU decided that history wasn't important. The track is gone now.

[@charleswachunas646]

😆

[@charleswoodhouse4754]

Weird seeing astro turf at both stadiums back in the day now

[@Packman1294]

@pronkb000 Admittedly I'm nostalgic for this time period, but I always loved that midfield logo, and the track never bothered me either. Besides, it isn't like the Bucks were alone in the Big Ten playing on carpet at this time. I may be biased against them, but check out the '79 and '81 games against the team up north for some really bad looking AstroTurf....it appeared to be getting VERY worn out by that time.

[@flanz45]

I was four months old when this win took place....but I knew then that anytime michigan lost...it was a good thing! Also: MARCUS MAREK!

[@carseye1219]

How in the world did a team with that much talent lose 3 games in a row? They put a 30 point hurting on Steve Young's BYU team in the bowl game.

[@TS-ef2gv]

"Old Nine and Three Earl" had a maddening tendency to lose to teams he had no business losing to, like Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, and Illinois, and it ended up costing him his job. The blowout loss at home to Indiana in '87 during a 6-4-1 season was downright embarrassing.

[@michaelbitler507]

Tim Spencer was special. Then his son Evan throws the iconic touchdown bs Alabama in the 2015 semi final

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

Ohio State didn't play Iowa in 1982. However, Michigan played everyone in the Big Ten. Remember this was when the name Big Ten actually meant ten schools.

[@markcourson3151]

Said Carter had 33 TDs and the record was Elmo Wright with 34. Impress me with who that dude played for in the Pros and what he was famous for.

Alabama Fan and Graduate here. ( Class of 89 ). As much as I love the Tide, I swear I would like nothing more for Michigan and Ohio St. to get back to the top. I know OSU10 is there, but CFB needs Michigan to get back up there as well. We, ( CFB Fans ), need that Ohio St. / Michigan rivalry back again. We need both teams to be NC contenders again where 1 team is knocking the other out of the National Title hunt. ..I love Alabama, but agree this constant Alabama vs. Clemson matchup is not good for football.
