Jack Nicklaus Dots The "i"

[vicodinzz]

Only OSU game I've had the privilege of attending. 2005 vs. Minnesota, I was seated in the loop of the shoe. Ray Small got knocked unconscious during the game and Troy Smith had his only rushing touchdown during that heisman campaign. Amazing moment, that stadium gave me goosebumps the entire game. What an experience.

[ghetto300]

Im not being rude, just curious, but why do all big 10 fans, esp ohio fans always gotta talk about SEC teams not playing up north in cold weather etc? It sounds like poor excuses as to why they always struggle against the SEC. Yes weather plays a vital role in performance, but football players can tune it out if they have a true drive to win. Plus bowl games are more important than a reg season game up north. And from what ive seen, the SEC steps up in those big games, with 5 straight titles.

[badinsucks]

basically to dot the i and not be part of the OSU marching band you have to be EXTREMELY successful or do great things in your life to achieve this honor. I would cry if I was chosen for this.

[MrAmericanrebel]

The drum major should have a 6 iron

[Kane9891]

Hey bucks, from the UM marching band, you're welcome for the script ohio idea. I'm surprised you guys can even spell it.

[a10sloopy09]

believe it or not you never marched out the script...you simply marched out already in the formation. nice tribute to ohio state though.

[BillyBong05]

Michigan couldn't even march out of a block and write it out. Who's the dumb one now?

[ieatglue44]

@BillyBong05 Well, I mean...we most certainly could, but writing out "Ohio" takes so damn long that writing out "Michigan" would just be nonsensical.

[Geneparmesan1]

i'm surprised you can even breathe considering you should have already fallen victim to natural selection

[uwajimya1]

so who is dotting the I tomorrow?

[jethromayham]

Whoa, let Bill Clinton dot the 'i'? hahaha

[nickma71]

Is there video of Bob Hope? We have this and Coach Hayes.

[UncleMikeNJ]

I'd heard the only non-band members to dot the i were Bob Hope and Woody Hayes.  I hadn't heard about OSU grad Nicklaus doing it. Has anybody else been granted this honor?

[crashoveride1288]

OSU Presidents Gordon Gee and Novice Fawcett, boxer Buster Douglas, composer Richared Heine, and Anne Droste, wife of former OSUMB director Paul Droste have all dotted the i

[nickma71]

They let Buster Douglas do it also. Why, I don't know. Might as well let Maurice Clarett do it.

Bob Hope, Jack Nicklaus, Coach Hayes, Buster Douglas, Gordon Gee, I think 2 band directors and wives. I want to say 9 all together. The big 3 are what gets you choked up.

[UncleMikeNJ]

Buster Douglas is from Columbus, and was not only the heavyweight champion of the world, but did the world a favor by showing us that Mike Tyson could be beaten. That deserves at least an i-dot and the key to Columbus and any other city he wants.

[nickma71]

So is Lawrence Funderburke. He clocked Damon Bailey. That counts more.

[mochief13]

I'm not even an Ohio State fan, but I love script ohio and the tradition of dotting the I...It's one of the reasons why college football is so amazing. Traditions and pride.

[ggjoe723]

i was at that game with my dad it was awesome best golfer but now that is tiger oh well go jack nichouls go buckeyes

[bus114]

In their primes, same golf equipment and conditions -- Jack would beat TW. And by the way that's Nicklaus, not "Nichouls".

[sretsam68]

"In their primes, same golf equipment and conditions -- Jack would beat TW"

I agree.

[wajimya]

Who wouldn't tear up if you had the chance to dot that I.

[frphilipmullen]

Go Bucks!

McCain/Palin 2008!

[YankeesandRangersfan]

Go to hell Republican asswipe...OBAMA/BIDEN 08 BABY!

aNYWAY, I'm only watching this because I'm thinking about going to Ohio State. Anybody been there? Is it a good school outside of the football.

[frphilipmullen]

YankeesandRangersfan: OSU is NOT for YOU.... They only take a chosen few.... You'd better stay in New York state.... Because you're a slacker who just wont rate.... Besides all that you're not so fun.... You're a sociopath with quite a foul tongue.... For when you're all battered, and tattered, YOU BLEW.... For You & Obama curse the Red, White, and Blue! Go Bucks! God Bless The USA! McCain/Palin 2008! ;)

[YankeesandRangersfan]

I swear quite a lot...

I thought Barack was leading Ohio?

[osubucks4]

its a great one it should be ure 1st choice

[YankeesandRangersfan]

A little nervous about the, being from the Tri State area and going to the midwest thing.

[1obamahater]

[YankeesObama]

[oujb1]

[naplescanes80]

[quaker91]

Top 10 Things I can infer about VictoryForLSU from his posts:

1. He's 12

2. He has no friends because he apparently has nothing better to do than post on YouTube on OSU videos

3. He is completely braindead for reasons cited in #2

3. He's recovering from VD he got from a hooker in the French quarter

4. His pet kitten died trying to eat a Buckeye

5. He once had a humiliating experience with hot sauce

6. He's still bitter about the Civil War

7. He got cut from summer tryouts for TBDBITL

[brendan78979]

lol

[buckeyenutz05]

excellent...I especially like #4 and #7

[MagnusLegatus]

@quaker91 The SEC could win every National Championship for the next 25 years, and I wouldn't change anything about Big 10 football. We play hard and long and give everything for the glory of our schools and the conference. 3 YARDS AND A CLOUD OF DUST BABY!

[VictoryForLSU]

Top Ten Things Ohio State learned in New Orleans: 1. They lost. 2. Cajuns know how to party. 3. Cajuns know how to play football. 4. Hookers may have VD. 5. Tigers do eat OSU Tree Nuts. 6. The SEC is superior. 7. Bourbon Street was not named by accident. 8. Hot sauce really is hot. 9. Grief counselors were on hand at the Dome for OSU fans. 10. The French Quarter never closes!

[MStiff726]

Matt Flynn is a Heaux Meaux

[MStiff726]

6.Alabama hasn't played in Big 10 stadium since 1989 (They lost)

7.Kentucky hasn't played in a Big 10 stadium since 1975. (They lost)

8.Vandy had the guts to do it in 2006 (They lost)

9.Any SEC wins in Big 10 stadiums came before 1940. (Other than Kentucky vs. Indiana, they play every year)

10.They are lucky they didn't have to play in November when its actually COLD

[baco62]

@MStiff726 Amazing they never come north to play but we have to play them in their backyard every bowl game.....neanderthals at their finest

[EDJR0]

@MStiff726 i agree.

[M89Shoaf]

@MStiff726 I hear the same argument EVERY year by ignorant blowhards from Texas. At least Texas had the balls to play at OSU when it was warm. I'd love to see them play a bowl game up north when the weather gets to I don't know... negative 200? Whatever the hell it is in Michigan in November. The shit Big 10 teams go through during there season says a lot. Unfortnately they won't receive recognition because the weather isn't nice!

[bammybound]

@MStiff726 How about getting your facts straight. Alabama didn't play a Big 10 school in 1989 and if you're thinking Penn State, they were independent and Bama beat them in Happy Valley.

[MStiff726]

1.Auburn and Tennessee have NEVER gone and played a game in a Big 10 stadium.

2.Florida hasn't played in Big 10 stadium since 1965. (They lost)

3.LSU hasn't played in Big 10 stadium since 1988 (They lost)

4.Georgia hasn't played in Big 10 stadium since 1965 (They lost)

5.Arkansas hasn't played in a Big 10 stadium since 1925 (They lost)

[VictoryForLSU]

Stiffie, You must be on crack. Please tell me which book you read these stats in. The OSU Dreamer's Guide?

[MStiff726]

Trust me you don't want to see the stats, they will be quite embarassing to you. I went easy on my list, not enough space to type it all.

[BillVol]

Excuse me, but Georgia won their game at Michigan in 1965.

[jondrumline07]

yeah, in 1965. ha. not in 2008

[UncleMikeNJ]

That Florida game was while they had at quarterback a certain future Heisman winner and insufferably obnoxious coach, correct? Spurrier? My hat is off that as-yet-undisclosed Big 10 school, even if it's Michigan.

[buckman2]

I was at this game and I still get chills watching Jack "Dot the I"!!

Go Bucks!!

[hoosierlooker]

He had to be thinking of his Dad at that point. Story goes Nicklaus Senior and one of Arnie's Army almost came to blows at the '62 U.S. Open when Jack beat Palmer at Oakmont. Guess who prevented the fight? WOODY HAYES!!

[jharvey33]

Greatest honor anyone from Ohio or from The Ohio State University can receive in there life.

[Biggie1231]

Get me some Minnesota Shoe Fly pie

[Wan2Golf]

It's nice to see that The Ohio State University still and forever will have class.Nice tribute to an Ohio legend.

[kevinsadrummer4]

that was great I love Jack & of course the Buckeyes. If anyone likes Jack Nicklaus, he has a museum right by the Schottenstein center it was amazing.

[Escalade714]

i was at that game!!!! on the 10 yard line, row 2 on the home side. i wanted to fuckin cry it was great!!!!

[osualum95]

Thanks! Awesome to see from out of state alumni!

[crashoveride1288]

[tjvbryant]

WOW, what game was this?

[elledom]
