  • My biggest dream is to go to an OSU football game. I've been a Buckeye fan ever since the day I was born. That was 52 years ago. Love Ohio State football!

    O-H

  • These pants are way to sticky to wear again

  • @ddd1364 it was Michigan you idiot. 1932 buddy. Get your facts right. State had nothing to do with it

  • i love ohio state's band. however. i think kansas state's band is the best

  • I was in the "other TBDBTL" when I went to Purdue and I'll never forget traveling to "the Shoe" and being in awe of the traditions at Ohio State and the respect that the band receives. Hats off to you guys.

  • Oh-bye-O

  • Actually it was msu

  • LOL Michigan invented Script Ohio....just thought I should throw that out there :)

  • Michigan and Ohio State...We couldn't live without eachother in a way. This tradition is AWESOME!

  • Hey tylers12345689, I'm from Michigan, graduated from the U of M, played football there under Bo. I was also in the marching band there, under the direction of George Cavender. I always thought OSU's ritual of "Script Ohio" was MOST impressive. It was also great to kick Ohio States ass 3 out of the 4 years I was there...twice IN Columbus.

    So, no, you didn't have to throw the F-bomb out there, but I hope YOU feel better.

  • I hate OSU, I'm a Michigan fan (of course), but after being in marching band this year, knowing how hard it is to do everything, I have immense respect for these guys and any other marching band. It's amazing that you can make the same form each and every time perfectly.

  • Fuck michagan! just thought I should throw that out there :)

  • I'm dropping everything right now and going to Ohio State.

  • I go to MSU and I hate OSU with a passion, but this is so impressive!!

  • Comment removed

  • When I was in middle school and saw this, I was mind blown. Now that I'm in high school and doing field show, I see that its not much more than the most epic follow the leader set I've EVER SEEN!!!!

  • @mousie1382 this is not follow the leader. Each band member is actually given charts with exact steps around each part. Every member is tested on these steps, and could theoretically be the leader of the script. Also, the band always stops together, which shows it not follow the leader.

  • im a Michigan fan and this is awesome!!! *Like* this is what i wished our marching band did

  • @mugchuger This Iowa student/fan agrees. This is awesome. Go Hawkeyes.

  • GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OOOPS.........and you can still dot the I in probation.........LMAOOOOOOOOO­OO

  • the band should also learn to spell........the script PROBATION...........LOL

  • But the 110 is the most exciting

  • @phantomofopera91 No doubt about it.

  • @preds317 Are you sure it was the UMich band? I had heard it was Leonard Falcone and the MSU band. I'll have to research this. I'm reading the book about Falcone right now and haven't gotten up to that point in the book yet.

  • I'm a kentucky fan, but this band is amazing(:

  • The best part is that this has nothing to do with college football. This is marching band people!

  • Is there anything in college football better than this??

  • @steelersfan7238 Touching the go blue sings waaaay better than this crap

  • 25 minutes until kickoff! Fuck the off the field drama, fuck everything that happened over the summer, it's 2011 GO BUCKS!

  • Can't wait!!!!

  • Best damn pre game show EVER!!!!!!! all my band does I'd get in an ark!!! :D

  • I'm so fucking ready for college football to be back. Let's Go Bucks!

  • Thumbs up if you just heard about this from the Dan Patrick Show.

  • cheeta, u b mor like a hyena...... Brady Hoke gana crush da cheateyes, yo.

  • And for all the idiots claiming OSU stole Script Ohio, actually read the articles you're quoting; not just the headlines. Yes, Michigan performed a "script" ohio. All they did though was form "Ohio" randomly and then march it across the field. Ohio State thought it would be cool to actually WRITE Ohio in script, not just form it.

    Did Michigan have the first "Script" Ohio? Yes. Was it even remotely comparable to this? Nope.

  • @kifi24 Yes Michigan did do the first "Script" Ohio. But they were trying to spell Iowa.

  • Amazing. There's no way it's just follow the leader. You can't be perfect all the time if you're just following.

  • Rod, I will beat you down with my tuba if you don't quit it. SousaPWN, get it?

  • Look "RichRodWeTrust" don't even start to talk about TBDBIL, you don't even know how much talent and skill it takes to do what they do. So back off brod

  • And why does the band only sing the fight song for??? Are you dumbasses in Cracktown to dumb to know your fight song??? Just like your buddy ol pal of piece of shit TP?????

  • Best Damn Band in the Land??? Then why is the "h" crooked at 2:05 then???

  • the scrubs, scribs,and hix in Columbusted have nothin to do but in breed and blab and live in a fantasy world

  • @1972mgoblue 37-7

  • ****these nerds ARE LAME AND NEEDA LIFE... WATCH: HITLER HATES OHIO STATE....IT GREAT, UNLIKE THESE MARCHING NERDS.... CHEATEYES R FINISHED. HEHE!!!!!!!!

  • @1972mgoblue 2804 days. 

  • @1972mgoblue Watch what you say because every colledge has these "marching nerds" as you call them :P

  • Too bad Michigan invented the Script Ohio LOL borrowed traditions thats sad

  • @EminentFate102 too bad michigan sucked at it and too bad michigan's band doesnt have the prestige ohio states does and too bad they suck at football

  • @EminentFate102 Michigan presented it to us and we improved upon it. Get your facts straight.

  • The prestige of being in this band must be unbelievable! The Seminoles never posted a marching band until the late 40's or early 50's. It became a co-ed school in 1947.

    Many similarities in the way the two march, especially with the left hand motion! What a treat to watch!

  • The tradition continues - OSU is a very impressive pre-game show to view! I'm a Florida State Seminole and watching good bands perform is a special treat for me. I have gone through many of the schools pregame shows on You Tube and none can compare to the Script Ohio. Wish I could be there for just ONE of the home games. I'd say that next to the FSU Marching Chiefs, OSU would be my favorite band! Don't let the past year get you down - you'll surely be back!

  • @pumphd Thanks! Glad to get some Seminole love! As I understand it our director before World War II Manley Whitcomb went to FSU after the war and spread our marching style to the South. We're glad that at least one band down there can march properly!

  • Proud Ohioan and Damn right Imma BUCKEYE!!!! ^.^

  • What year was this?

  • What they dont tell you is that all the band members got free tattoos for doing it so well

  • To everyone that is an alumni, Watching the Band, and script Ohio is Heaven on Earth. It was the best times of our lives.

    And, the band is the True Pride of the School!! They work hard, study hard, uphold Ohio State Values for the entire school.

    Most of the time, me and my group, enjoyed the band, fellowship at pregame, the loyalty we have for Ohio State, more then the football game. The football team is just one part of the Ohio State experience.

  • You know...Script Ohio has nothing to do with the coaching/player scandals. Don't come to this video to complain about the bad things that have been happening with the team. Come here to watch our awesome band. Even though I'm pissed about Tressel and Pryor, I'm still feel a sense of pride at the fight song and seeing the band perform.

  • even though we will suck balls this year we will be better than that school up north.

  • @53footballer Sorry, no. Coach Hoke is gonna curbstomp the suckeyes. Go Blue

  • @Wood97son you guys said that when you hired your last coach

  • What's more likely? Jim Tressel dotting the "I" this year at a game or Terrelle Pryor playing even one down for OSU this year? I say neither! LMAO! Liar Liar Vest on Fire! Muaahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Suck it bitches! Muaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • O-lie-O.

  • Nothing quite like the moment the "i" dotter high-steps to his place and the crowd goes absolutely ballistic.

  • i remember when this was my favorite thing to watch on youtube.

  • HOLY CHEESE IM IN MARCHING BAND AND I KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THOSE MOVES CAN BE IF NOT DONE RIGHT WOW IVE DONE A COUPLE OF THE CROSS OVER MOVES WAY TO GO BUCKS LOVE MY STATE AND TEAM

  • Ohio's Legit .

  • I HAVE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF SEEING TBDBITL PERFORM SCRIPT OHIO IN PERSON. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE. TOTALLY AWESOME. I GET CHILLS WHEN I SEE IT PERFORMED ON TV. THIS VIDEO EVEN GOT ME CHILLIN'...  GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm going to miss my season tickets next year. At least I'll be in the alumni drawing.

  • Great tradition, from an outsider looking in. Band kid here, and its always nice to see the band appreciated by the fans. DOT DAT "i"! lol

  • the only good thing about the state of ohio, is ohio st.

  • the only good thing about ohio

  • @ElmoWasowska193 We don't h8 mIchigan people,...Just that fuckin' sCREWELL...better luck next year, just not against US! :)

  • It is quite a tradition. Very moving. God bless Ohio and God bless the USA.

  • @45Seabee i agree even for us high schooler and its fun too

  • Go bucks! we have to march like this to spell out bath and when we do it its hard. They are so good like robots lol

  • god I miss waking up at 8 am on a crisp fall saturday, cracking open a beer, walking across campus to the stadium, and watching this. GO BUCKS

  • I got to see this in person. I enjoyed every second of it.

  • Fear the Buckeyes, Razorback Fans!!!! I got your Pig Soo-EEE right here.

  • The 69 people who disliked this are from Michigan.

    Also, this is without a doubt my favorite part of the watching The Best Damn Band in the Land and the best college football tradition I have ever known.

  • The 110 is better...just saying

  • I have to admit that this is beautiful, congratulations from Spain! By the way, O-H

  • Okay. I've watched several performances of the Script Ohio, and in this one, the loop of the O and the long line of the h just imploded. Not very good at all. I can respect a good tradition, but that's just no good. I hope this was just one really off performance.

  • I'm not a big fan of marching bands, but DAMN that is sweet!!!!

  • As a former high school marching band member, and a former Sousaphone player, this totally blew me away!

  • how can 69 peeps dislike this? i aint a fan of ohio state but this is still bad azzzzzzzzzz. i give this 10 thumbs up if i could

  • Interesting fact,

    It was the Univeristy of Michigan band that came down to Columbus in 1932 and instructed the Ohio State band it's long time tradition for them until the Buckeyes finally grasped the script and has kept it since.

    Irony is a strange thing isn't it? :)

  • @searchengines4fun Michigan bands script Ohio isn't the same as the Script Ohio now performed. It's vastly different, google it and read the articles. I don't feel like explaining it lol

  • TBDBITL!!! :D

  • ive been a buckeye for life. its my 3rd year at the ohio state university and this still gives me chills.....everytime.

  • How in the hell is this even possible? This is amazing. It takes one wrong step by one person to mess it up, that was about as perfect as you can get.

  • @hothand3 You should hear them on the practice field, the echo's of the band leader's shouting reverberates through campus, as they do it over and over and over...truly a comment on the dedication to excellence:)

  • I'm not a big Ohio State fan, but this totally KICKS ASS!!

  • My band teacher was the dot on the i once

  • I believe the name of the march is Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse. It's good!

  • Does the March have a name? I don't mean the Fight Song, but the song the play when they're 'writing.'

  • @KNS1996DFS the song is called Le Regiment

  • @KNS1996DFS Le Regiment

  • i swear, my favorite part of script other than the dotting of the i is when they sing battle cry...it's so eerie how the whole stadium goes silent, but it's so amazing at the same time.

  • Whoo!!! Go Ohio!!! my brother can't decide OU or OSU

  • @SkullxXxFire OSU. The band gets so much more respect here. Its not like any other marching band in the country. And OU sucks.

  • I hate Ohio st. But I love there band it's BA.

  • @Ben69ist couldn't agree more.

  • Yep, I'm an Ohio State student. Our band is boss :)

  • Oh, that's what it meant by script Ohio lol. That was pretty cool. Wonder what their field show is. My favorite Band is L.D. Bell High school tho :o

  • I part of the clifton mustang marching band in nj and we do a script chs check us out. but these are freakin amazing. my idols

  • im part of the clifton new jersey mustang marching band and we do a script chs, but this is amazing. my idols

  • Listening to this always gives me the chills. One of the best damn things I've ever seen.

  • This is pretty dang cool!!!!

    Though... It's still nothing compared to the Aggie Band's four way cross. It's literally an impossible drill :)

  • @Pharafly ..Sorry...this is this the best college tradition ever...the people have spoken and it will always be. nothing against your big bon fire because we appreciate that too but NOTHING compares to this

  • @baco62 Haha, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)

  • Oh, conmoto, that just goes to show you know nothing about college bands or icecream!

    For your information, Ohio State's band is always the number one college band in the country year after year. I do not march in their band so I'm not bias. I twirl in another university band. So, educate yourself before commenting, sweetie.

  • In honor of the Number One rated Buckeyes - The Best Damned Band in the Land

  • and hes the dot on the i

  • the thing with a big horn

  • 2:17 is my band teacher today Mr.JohnBrhem

  • I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say those 67 people that voted this video with a thumbs down are people who are Michigan fans. :P

  • It's why we're called TBDBITL ;)

  • I've been to Ohio State games in 1998 and 2001 and have seen this and it was amazing

  • Geez, I've never even been to the state of Ohio, and this sends chills down by spine.

  • I'm in the Goin Band, but script ohio is pretty cool, actually

  • I unfortunately have to hate this team because I am a MICHIGAN fan, but this band is certainly talented.

  • The close-ups show band members bumping into each other! lol

  • What's with those uniforms? So 1800s. Michigan's uniforms are more modern and band is better.

    Script Ohio is so overrated, plus Michigan performed it first! Go Blue!

  • @tasams michigan performed it first as a joke... they thought it was funny and thought it mocked ohio. except that backfired and script ohio kicks ass.

  • @TooTuffShuff You still haven't explained those uniforms from 2 centuries ago!  lol

  • @tasams the uniforms are fine... they wear them for tradition. something michigan doesn't have or has ever heard of. the only tradition i can think of is losing to ohio state year after year after year.

  • @drewzy2008

    fuck you

  • TBDBITL!!!!!!!!!!

  • now I thought that the Vols. were the best, but after this, they have to do more work.

  • This never gets old no matter how many times you watch it in person or recorded.

  • Never ever will this get old doesnt matter how many times

  • Miami is under us.now lets not get to cocky and finish this out..GO BUCKS..It is 6 am in Colorado and Michigan will always suck.

  • As much as I luv everything OH-IO. This is not the est Damn Band. Its got 2 be a black college. Nobody even watches the game bc the bands r so tight. Outside Script O they just average. Wisconsin is the best band in the BIG 10. Anyway Go Bucks!!! DrewZy!!!

  • YEAAAA

  • jstephan2b@charter.net

    

  • it'd be awesome if the leader had tourette syndrome (or a good sense of humor) and made them spell out a huge curse word.

  • BEST DAMN DAMN IN THE LAND!!! There is no other in comparison....sorry Muck Fishigan :LOL

  • The most memorable event in all of collegiate football .... the thrill of Script OHIO.

    GO BUCKS !!!

  • Coming from a Florida fan, Script Ohio is probably the coolest thing any band does in college football.

  • sambre et meuse march :))

  • There should be more flugelhorns in marching bands. In fact...drum corps' should use flugelhorns if they ever have jazz shows. We have a solo Flugelhorn in my marching band. Anyone else think there should be more high stepping low brass?

  • This can't compare to seeing it live! Nothing like an OSU Football game in the SHOE!!!! Go Bucks!!!

  • @mondojoey yeah it gives you chills

  • I grew up a little rocker (in Cleveland, Oh, whatelse?). After seeing this performed for the first time (aprox age 8 or 9) I became determined to be a part of something as spectacular and unique. It was my inspiration to join marching band in Jr. high. I hated highschool - all but for those incredible 3 hours on autumnal Friday evenings! Thank-You TBDBITL.

  • @apunkr I agree with you! I'm a junior in highschool and I march the tuba (3/4 shoulder "contra" tuba, not sousaphone, sadly) and even though I'm ready to get out and go to college, the only reason I'm enjoying highschool is because I'm in marching band. OSUMB is my inspiration, since I'm considering attending OSU at this point. GO BUCKS AND TBDBITL!

  • I'm such a college FB geet I flew to NC game in 07 and watched them practice (along with 20K OSU fans. )

  • @friarcajun I lived in Charlotte during those years OSU & NCState played. Although the ACC deserves props in B-ball, it was a beautiful thing to put all those Acc football fans in their place & effectively shutting them the hell up!!!!! GO Big 10(2)!!!! GO Bucks!!!!!!

  • @ericboy1 that's funny because I have heard Florida and Oregon fans and other fans say they thought it was great so I guess not self proclaimed.

  • CENTRALOHRONNIE in Ohio saying... In Columbus the mantra is this: 2 @ 10 for 75 years in a row........... 2 minutes protest (one minute for each school) stand up and chant when 10:00 comes up on the stadium clock both stadiums. OSU-UM every single home game SAVE THE GAME!!!! over and over and post videos of the protests here on youtube fans joining in with chants world wide on youtube Protect the biggest rivalry in sports history. SAVE THE GAME!!!
  • I wanna be that Tuba someday!

  • Is it just me or are those the most awkward turns you've ever seen in your life?

  • Damn! I miss Saturday afternoon halftime shows. Just moved to Texas :(((((

  • @MowDawg I hear ya, but at least in Texas, they appreciate college football. I moved to Sacramento, Ca 2 yrs ago. I swear, not a single person here appreciates or even aknowledges ncaa f-ball!!! I grew up in Ohio & spent a few years in SEC & ACC country. I never imagined that a region in this fine country of ours could be SO DEVOID of ncaa football. If you didnt know better, you couldnt even tell its football season, here (except for the occassional Oak Raider brain-dead excuse for a fan.

  • @apunkr I live in San Jose, CA and grew up in Ohio. I LOVE coming home to football fever!!! Its such a community thing.

  • Check out my new Terrelle Pryor official heisman campaign video! GO BUCKS!!!

    O-H-I-O

  • Holy friggin' crap! I'll be able to close my mouth in a couple of minutes.

  • You know what's actually funny is that the Michigan Marching Band showed OSU how to perform script ohio. I'm not even making this up, look it up if you don't believe me. Just very ironic that OSU's hated rivals had to show them how to do this haha

  • fuck! I'd be the retard in the endzone yelling TOUCHDOWN!

  • O-H I-O!

    i live in ohio and can't stand the football team (bunch of tools) but my dream is to be a trumpeter in 'Script Ohio' ^.^

  • I recall a trombone player getting completely clobbered going through the intersection that goes from the 'O' to the 'H.' He had blood running down his face. But, as any band member that's worth a shit would do, he kept going.

  • TBDBITL!

  • i love wen my highschool scripts rams on the field its amazing! :)..i cANT WAIT TO GO TO O.S.U! :)..hopefully ill get into the band

  • i had a dream that ann arbor was swallowed by a giant sinkhole... i woke up sorely disappointed

  • i still like straight leg marching a lot better than bent leg marching, but at least their steps looked nice

  • Best DAMn Band In The Land is friggen CORRECT!!!!!

  • THE best college marching band in the country!

  • This is one of my favorite things to watch...."Script Ohio".....thank you so much for posting this...

  • Everythime I see script Ohio it gives me chills.... thanks for posting!

  • I LOVE Ohio!

  • Comment removed

  • im not even a buckeye fan and this still brings a tear to my eye..love the tradition..one of the great moments in all of sports.

  • I cant wait to be in this band, i script wit da best of em

  • Fuckn awesome! GO Buckeyes!

  • I'm a student at the University of Oregon and I was at the Rose Bowl and I have to say seeing this is person was the coolest thing ever. One of the best traditions in college sports.
