[edit] Nice but POV
The page seemed to have a nice range of information, but most from the POV of an OSU band member. I cleaned up some of the sentences and added wiki links… but this is an encyclopedia and sentimental information really needs some facts or references to back it up. --Zagsa 00:42, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What song does the Band play...
What classical music piece does the band play after a good defensive play (sack or tackle for a loss)? I don't know if its Wagner or someone else.
You're referring to either an excerpt from Musorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" or the beginning of "Fortuna Imperiex Mundi" from Orff's Carmina Burana, both of which are played as defensive cheers. --a current member
thank you, you are correct. i've been looking forever for that answer. good job! are you in the band or something?
[edit] Honorary “i”-dotters
The OSU Athletics website lists more "i"-dotters than are listed here: [1]. Note that you must read the entire article--parts of it are conflicting. -- Mohrr 04:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Back Bend
The University of Michigan Drum Major has been doing the back bend without a hat for several years. So this makes absolutely no sense. "As part of the big rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan, during the 2006 football game between the two undefeated teams, Michigan's drum major removed his hat, sat back and touched his head to the ground rather than doing the act with his hat still on. Bending back and touching the hat on the ground is a tradition of drum majors at both schools."
[edit] Script Ohio
This article is getting too long. Since Script Ohio is notable, I think it should get its own article. Currently, Script Ohio redirects to the section in the article. —JonTerry4) 22:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Traditions section violates copyright
It looks to me like the "Traditions" section of this article has been lifted from this page here and should be re-written ASAP. Groupthink (talk) 04:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've excised the copyvio portions that have been pointed out. -- Upholder (talk) 17:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ohio State buckeyes logo.png
Image:Ohio State buckeyes logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
