Crap! Sorry. Tried to embed, but failed:

Like Cardale Jones on his homework, the OSU band just copied off someone else.
October 8th, 2012 at 1:27 AM ^
I thought those Cal kids were supposed to be smart.
October 7th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
That is probably the most creative band show I've ever seen... not that I'm an expert, but that's pretty cool.

This must be fellate-Ohio-State day on Mgoblog.

I came in here ready to give the typical "Who gives a shit about Ohio's halftime show", but that was actually pretty awesome.
October 7th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
They probably used a GameShark on that show. Cheaters.
October 7th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
Wow, Zelda. Wow
October 7th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
So they do have a skill or two that doesn't involve driving trucks.
October 7th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
Wish I could say that our band is just as cool but I've never actually heard them properly because I couldn't hear shit sitting in the student section for 4 years. They sounded like they were playing at Pioneer.

Herm must not see this thread. I'm afraid he would never recover.
October 7th, 2012 at 11:28 PM ^
That was great.
October 7th, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
That was pretty cool. Can we post something making fun of Ohio now? I feel dirty.

I believe this one earned the title of "best halftime ever" on the main page and rave reviews on the MGoBoard:

Ohio's halftime show wasn't terribly original but it was impressively well executed. It was better than Cal's show, for what it's worth. And I think video game shows are just a good idea in general as they have a lot of memorable tunes that really strike an emotionally resonant chord.
Movie shows are similar in that respect actually. Familiar content in a new context. The Oz show is fantastic, but imho spent too much time on in between songs reinacting bits of the movie. The songs are memorable enough on their own... though the script Ohio was a nice educational moment I suppose.

Whether it was the 'best ever' is a question I don't have enough data to answer, but it sure was good. Nice work band.
October 8th, 2012 at 1:24 AM ^
Damned fine execution. There was no quesiton in what any of those formations were, and they used so many!
October 8th, 2012 at 1:46 AM ^
Was where I had no choice, but to concede... that was pretty amazing.
I feel dirty.

Very impressive show....those kids really did a good job. Lots of complex formations.
Kudos to all the marching bands that add a ton of enjoyment to college football.

What else would OSU use to represent Bowser? It's highly appropriate.
October 8th, 2012 at 2:40 PM ^
...but to be fair, I have been to football games in Ann Arbor where our marching band makes fun of Brutus or something else related to Ohio; it goes both ways. Obviously it is more extreme with buckeye folks, but still, it goes both ways.
October 8th, 2012 at 4:54 PM ^
Dude, did you even see the Michigan halftimes posted on this thread? Taking shots at OSU and MSU all over the place (hilarious, too!). OSU is hardly alone in this.

Are you, like, a knight? Or what's the deal?
October 8th, 2012 at 6:07 PM ^
You had me at "Yeah, it's good. But".....
October 8th, 2012 at 11:28 AM ^
hate the school and the bad by extension, but there's no denying that halftime performance was cool.
October 8th, 2012 at 11:41 AM ^
I was a dork in a military style marching band in High school, so obviously I'm biased...
But I was there in person, and was in awe of the complexity of the show. I was hoping for more out of the HALO section, but it was impressive throughout.
It was the only time I've ever seen people start to flood to the bathroom and halftime, and then turn around to watch the rest of the show...
Props to the bank and the director...
October 8th, 2012 at 2:43 PM ^
I was hoping for more with the Halo part also, but it was still awesome to hear a marching band play the theme music to one of the greatest game franchises ever.
The best part was indeed Epona's galloping.

to practice their kicking:

to make the shapes fit properly during the "Tetris" portion of the show? And how many Buckeye fans were like..." Damn, that's how those are supposed to go...."?
