The Ohio State University: A Tradition of Excellence
Few programs inspire the level of passion and devotion as the Ohio State Buckeyes. With a massive, fervent fanbase and iconic traditions like the "Script Ohio" marching band formation, the Buckeyes represent a pillar of Big Ten and national football. Their historic stadium, "The Horseshoe," serves as the epicenter of their storied tradition.
Superstar Chic Harley first ignited the fanbase in the 1910s, and his popularity led directly to the construction of Ohio Stadium.
The legendary Woody Hayes defined the modern program for 28 seasons, building a powerhouse on his "three yards and a cloud of dust" philosophy. He won five national championships, waged the "Ten Year War" against Michigan, and coached Archie Griffin, the only two-time Heisman winner.
That championship tradition continued with coaches like Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer, who added their own national titles.
With a record number of Heisman trophies and a culture built around beating their rivals, Ohio State stands as one of the most successful programs in college football history. 🏈
