AA has been bustling in the evenings...

Thursday I stopped in and met with MB and his friends at Bill's Beer Garden. There was a line to get in and lines at the beer hut. Place was packed. That whole area was booming.

Last night was the same. After stopping at Union Rec after the game to get out of the heat, we went to dinner at Echelon and then had a drink at the Grotto. People everywhere on Main and on the cross streets and Ashley. Perfect weather last night. I did not end up seeing MB yesterday; was with family.

Atmosphere pre game was very dead in AA. More than normal. Shocking for a game this big and there were empty seats in the stadium that were never occupied. But the AA nights this time of year are amazing.

My experience with the OU fans in the stadium yesterday. They were generally fine but indifferent. - By MFlyer September 13, 2026 at 11:10:26 AM
- Their fan base is probably just as MAGA as OSU's. Likely a bunch of miserable people* - By mtb September 13, 2026 at 02:20:54 PM
- Differ experience: Those around me, albeit younger, were enjoying the atmosphere & were fine in game conversation.* - By kccambo September 13, 2026 at 12:39:01 PM

- Disagree. My lady and I had an affirmatively great experience with them both at the game and the night out before and after.* - By weebay September 13, 2026 at 11:39:39 AM
- As I've gotten older and traveled to games I sincerely enjoy being treated well on the road and enjoy intelligent conversations and interactions. I went to the game in Norman last year and everyone but a few people were really nice. Yesterday (m) - By uncwolverine September 13, 2026 at 11:37:13 AM
- I thought they were good ppl. The game was boring and it was hot/humid in the stadium so ppl were kind of subdued at times. Most were gracious and I think a little shellshocked... - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 11:14:32 AM
  - They ABSOLUTELY expected to win. They thought it would be a dog walk and, to be fair, were gracious when they were proven wrong in my experience.* - By weebay September 13, 2026 at 11:53:54 AM
  - Those who would talk gave credit to Michigan and same, said BU outplayed Mateer. I didn’t get out in town in the evening which was a bummer* - By MFlyer September 13, 2026 at 11:22:58 AM

  - contin, they were not cheering against Ok State but I think they were in amazement at that game. We were watching the end of it with OU fans. - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 11:17:15 AM
- Glad their plans blew up in their fat faces. Makes the win even sweeter. Hope they left a lot of their oil money in Michigan. * - By jhamm September 13, 2026 at 11:13:44 AM
