My personal favorite, block, a term students use to imply tailgating for students at frats or students’ houses off campus. To people unfamiliar with Ohio State, block can be a very foreign concept. Girls wear their trendiest OSU gear, face tattoos and high-top converse while flocking to a frat house that only serves Natty and Four Loko. Boys just h...
We take game day apparel very seriously. If you aren’t wearing one of these colors on game day, you need to go home and change. The stadium looks like an ocean of scarlet and grey when all the fans are cheering in Buckeye colors.
Although it may seem weird to scream at random people in public, we fully accept and embrace it at Ohio State. If you hear the words “O-H” screamed at you, do not be alarmed. Just respond with “I-O.” This is something all Ohio State fans know and love. A few years ago, I was on top of mountain in Switzerland and saw someone wearing an Ohio State sw...
We sing OSU’s oldest school song, Carmen Ohio, after every football game. It really brings home the feeling of community and love surrounding our team. Everyone in the stadium throws their arms around each other and sings, “The seasons pass the years will roll, time and change will surely (truly) show, how firm thy friendship … OHIO!” Hearing every...
“Hang on Sloopy,” Ohio’s official rock song, gets performed at every Ohio State football game before the fourth quarter. The Ohio State band performed this song at a game in 1965and it stuck ever since. As the only state in the U.S. to have a designated rock song, our pride to be Ohioans really shows. Usually, fans chant “O-H-I-O” during the song a...
This weird looking, nut-shaped guy, known as Brutus Buckeye, dances his heart out at every OSU game. With the amount of jumping and dancing, the poor guy in the suit must overheat at every game. He also randomly shows up around campus. One time I was actually being studious when I looked up from my computer and to my surprise, Brutus was doing a ha...
Fun to watch, definitely not fun to participate in. Every time the Buckeye’s score, the ROTC students do as many pushups as we have points scored. For the first score, they have to do seven. For the second score, they have to do 14 and the number of pushups keeps increasing with each touch down. That means if we end with a score of 28, throughout t...
This ritual may not fit my style because I usually leave the game for Chipotle in the 3rd quarter, but if you want to be a football groupie, I have good news for you. Ohio State has a section reserved for die-hard fans, known as Block O. The people in this section are the most spirited peopleI have ever witnessed. They live for the game, painting t...
Unlike your stereotypical band member, taking part in the band at OSU is an honor. People will praise you if you get accepted into the marching band. They perform every game at half time, playing instruments while walking in unison to make shapes. These shapes could be anything from spelling out “Ohio” to outlining a witch on her broom stick. I’m n...
When Ohio State plays their biggest rival, Michigan, all hell breaks loose. Some say this day tops Christmas. Dedicated fans wake up at 5 a.m. to tailgate for the noon game. They dress in their finest Ohio gear and ready to beat the team up north. The coolest part about this tradition is walking around campus and seeing all the “M’s” crossed out wi...
Sep 4, 2024 · The OSU Marching Band Skull Session starts two hours before kickoff of every home football game. The tradition began all the way back in 1957. The Skull Session is basically the biggest, most exciting pep rally you’ll ever go to. It’s free to attend, so even if you don’t have tickets to the game, you can still get your fan on.

Jun 4, 2018 · Located in the southeast tower of Ohio Stadium, the Victory Bell is rung after every Ohio State victory. It was a gift of the classes of 1943, 1944 and 1945. Resting 150-feet up in the southeast tower, members of Alpha Phi Omega ring the bell after victories, a tradition that began after OSU beat California Oct. 2, 1954.
