In 2001 the tradition was started where the entire team stands facing the band following the home games and sings the alma matter song. It is quite the powerful sight sending chills down the spine of every Buckeye fan, especially folling a huge win.

“Oh! Come let’s sing Ohio’s praise,
and songs to Alma Mater raise;
While our hearts rebounding thrill,
with joy which death alone can still.
Summer’s heat or winter’s cold.
The seasons pass, the years will roll;
Time and change will surely show
How firm thy friendship O-hi-o.
These jolly days of priceless worth,
By far the gladdest days on earth,
Soon will pass and we not know,
How dearly we love O-hi-o.
We should strive to keep the name,
Of fair repute and spotless fame,
So, in college halls we’ll grow,
To love the better, O-hi-o.
Tho’ age may dim our mem’ry’s store,
We’ll think of happy days of yore,
True to friend and frank to foe,
As sturdy sons of O-hi-o.
If on seas of care we roll,
‘Neath blackened sky, o’er barren shoal,
Tho’ts of thee bid darkness go,
Dear Alma Mater O-hi-o.”

“Offensive coordinator Jim Bollman said the Buckeyes would likely continue the trend of using two quarterbacks early in the season, beginning with the opener against Akron on Sept. 3, and Miller could be in the mix.”

Additionally, Bauserman also threw a pick.

Here is the Bylaw 10.1, which prohibits Unethical Conduct, as it reads in the NCAA rule book:

“knowingly furnishing the NCAA or the individual’s institution false or misleading information concerning the individual’s involvement in or knowledge of matters relevant to a possible violation of an NCAA regulation.”

Did he win a ton of games? Yes, 82-21 at tOSU. He may have the best winning percentage, but does that make him the best at all time at tOSU?

I am not here to judge the man on how nice of a guy he is, or if he has helped countless numbers of wayward players grow into fine young men. But, to act as if this is all on the players you sold stuff, traded stuff for tattoos or were paid for autographs, it outrageous. In my eyes they are all wrong. I’m more upset the players didn’t care enough about the memorabilia such as the gold pants and bowl rings. Not only are those one of a kind, but there is pride in knowing you dominated at tOSU and played on one the best programs in the last decade.

Good luck to Coach Fickell and the 2001 Buckeyes. We find out our team’s fate on Aug 12.
