What sets college football aside from the NFL is the pageantry and custom. Marching bands, wild fanbases, and of course, some time-honored minutes that conjureup chills and respect. A program like Ohio State is front and center with some of college football’s finest customs, however it’s not alone.
USA TODAY’s Paul Myerberg set out to different some of the customs in the Big Ten by method of ranking them in tiers, and one Buckeye staple of videogame days made it into Tier 1.

According to Myerberg, the age-old “Script Ohio” is one of the finest college football customs in the Big Ten, and for excellent factor (duh).
“Dotting the ‘i’ ― Performed to the tune of Robert Planquette’s ‘Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse,’ the school marching band’s renowned Script Ohio development is topped with a senior sousaphone gamer strutting to the dot above the ‘i’ in ‘Ohio’ and taking a deep bow to both sides of the arena.” composes Myerberg. “The honored task has just been given to a handful of non-band members, consistingof John Glenn, Jack Nicklaus, and Bob Hope.”
You’ll get no argument from us, and we’ll go a action more and state that it’s the finest custom in the Big Ten and perhaps the finest in the nation. I’ve seen opposing fanbases make sure they were settled into their seats to see “Script Ohio” take location priorto the videogame — and to rave evaluations.
