Category: Let's talk
Hello, I wanted to talk about a more enjoyable topic today. I know that many Zoners enjoy watching various sports. I wanted to know what are some of the traditions that the various sports have? For instance, the University of Texas has a hand gesture that resembles a cow goring it's opponent. We call it "hook em horns." It's more of a symbol of the cow throwing it's horns at it's rival. Also, Deep in The Heart of Texas is sung at the seventh inning of every Houston Astros home game.
And we Aggie's sing a fight song that talks about sawing the horns off of the "little u, little t" longhorns. :)
The Ohio State marching band forms a script Ohio during half times at most games. For the first football game of the season when the alumni return, consisting of former band members as old as in their 70's and 80's, there are enough of them to form four separate script Ohios on the field, one at each end and one on each side. It is really spectacular to watch.
