It felt like the DJ at one point was hyping up the Ohio State fans with sound effects and visual effects on the Jumbo Tron when they were surging in the third quarter. Am I crazy ?

They did a make some noise for them for sure when they were on defense. Its neutral but I think they're technically the home team

During a commercial break late in the 3rd or early 4th, they played a 2 minute Ray Lewis hype video. Perfect timing. Players were bouncing in the huddle. OSU did not score again.

Yeah crowd went nuts when they brought Ray out during a fan trivia question. He and Mike were hyping up the crowd and were the representation of our emotions down on the sideline.

I thought it was so funny the OSU trivia question was about a random center from 2017 OSU team that nobody knew and the answer to Miami trivia questions was one of the GOAT LBs that the fan got to meet.

The whole two day experience was such a juxtaposition in cultures. Everything from the Battle of the Bands the day before and their chants and songs, everything felt very gentleman’s sport, almost military-esque, “we’re too good for this.” (I’ll give credit to their band; cool seeing the script spell out). They bring their boring center with a monotone voice and we bring Ray and Irvin with their energy. Miami felt like we were there to party and a sense of enjoying the whole experience and life itself.
 
The stadium experience wasn’t great.

1. They some how messed up the national anthem! No announcement, just started.

2. They had the refs Mike check talking over something else.

3. Hardly any replays.

4. Not many team stats on a board.

5. Cell network died a few times.

All that said, I didn’t see much bias

Yeah the anthem choir clearly got a wrong cue and started way early. No announcement and the flag wasn’t out yet. Suddenly everyone stood up when they realized it and the flag people had to run out.

Regarding replays, I know it’s been a rule at some point in the past (at least ACC) that stadiums can only show replays once. They don’t want refs questioned. It’s an awful policy.
