When The Best Damn Band in the Land played “Hang on Sloopy” before the beginning of the fourth quarter of each game at Ohio Stadium, Urban Meyer would take a moment to reflect on how fortunate he was to be Ohio State’s football coach.
Ryan Day expects that moment to hit him just before games begin, when he leads the Buckeyes out of the southeast tunnel and onto the field.
“When I'm with the team in the tunnel, looking up to see the Horseshoe and everybody that supports Buckeye Nation, how cool that is; take it in, take a deep breath, because you can go through a whole game and not even recognize anything that's going on because you're so caught up in the moment,” Day said.
