COLUMBUS, Ohio — After the Ohio State Buckeyes’ big win over the Marshall Thundering Herd on Saturday, 49-14, fans celebrated with a rendition of “Carmen Ohio” along with the players in the south end zone.
“Carmen Ohio” was written more than 100 years ago, and players have been singing it to the fans at the end of the game, win or lose, since 2001 in a tradition begun by former coach Jim Tressel.
The Buckeyes open their conference play in East Lansing next week against the Michigan State Spartans.
