Random data point #1:
A couple days before the Fiesta Bowl game against the buckeyes a local news station did a story where they interviewed a handful of local business owners asking them who they wanted to win. To a person, each one said that Ohio State winning would be better for their business and the state's economy as a whole.
Random Data Point #2:
We were late getting to the stadium for the Fiesta Bowl game against Ohio State and had to park on the other side of downtown Tempe. As we walked through the town, every single bar was filled to capacity with buckeye fans. I remember joking that these morons are going to miss the game while sitting around drinking.
Then I got into the stadium and the entire stadium was buckeye fans. My estimate is that 150K+ buckeye fans went to Tempe for that game, the bulk of which didnt even try to get tickets. They have a MASSIVE fan base.
