It's time for the 2025 National Championship! Now, presenting one of college football's most known, prominent, and popular tunes and fight songs in America, here is Ohio State's very own - "Buckeye Battle Cry".
The "Buckeye Battle Cry" was written in the spring of 1919 from a song contest which was the result from the planned construction of Ohio Stadium. The song was written and composed by Ohio University alum but Ohio State Buckeye fan, Frank Crumit. The song, of course, won the fight song contest and by 1928, became a part of Ohio State lore, becoming a symbol of the Buckeyes, when the Ohio State Marching Band played its first ramp entrance, marking the start of their pregame show with "Buckeye Battle Cry".
To this day, the "Buckeye Battle Cry" is played by the Pride of the Buckeyes, known as The Best Damn Band In The Land (TBDBITL), in their pregame show after the ramp entrance, and after Ohio State score, as well as playing this song in performances, pep rallies, parades, etc.
As you might see, the Battle Cry has two verses. The second verse, of course, is no longer sung as it was lost in some publications.
Anyways, hope you enjoy the Battle Cry and Go Bucks!

LYRICS
1st Verse:
In old Ohio there's a team,
That's known throughout the land;
Eleven warriors, brave and bold,
Whose fame will ever stand,
And when the ball goes over,
Our cheers will reach the sky,
Ohio Field will hear again
The Buckeye Battle Cry.
Chorus:
Drive! Drive on down the field;
Men of the scarlet and gray;
Don't let them through that line,
We've got to win this game today,
Come on, Ohio!
Smash through to victory,
We'll cheer you as you go;
Our honor defend
So we'll fight to the end
For Ohio.
2nd Verse:
We'll scatter to the east and west,
When college days are done;
And memories will cling around,
The dreams of everyone;
We'll play the game of living,
With head and shoulders high!
And with it wear the spirit of
The Buckeye Battle Cry!
[chorus]
