Time and Change is a weekly series highlighting the history of some of Ohio State's storied traditions.
Regarded as one of the best traditions in college football, Script Ohio has been a long standing tradition and trademark for The Ohio State University Marching band.
THEN
The history of Script Ohio can be traced back to The Game in 1932 when, ironically, The University of Michigan Marching Band spelled out "Ohio" on the field.
A few years later, Band director Eugene J. Weigel brought the cursive "Ohio" design we know today to the field when Ohio State played the University of Pittsburgh in 1936.
