Ohio State and Penn State combine for 141,000 fans at their spring football games

A lot more spring football games were played over the weekend, and we were reminded of something we already knew.

Ohio State fans love their football.

Urban Meyer's first spring game at OSU drew 81,112 fans. That's two-thirds or four-fifths of the population of Cedar Rapids. I'd be more precise, but what am I, the U.S. Census Bureau?
