The tradition returned.

Every year, the Ohio State football team and The Best Damn Band in the Land meet up to kick off the week of “The Game.” This season was no different, and it appears both sides enjoyed themselves as the Buckeyes focus their attention on “That Team Up North.”

Ohio State’s social media team posted videos of the annual celebration. Here are some of the clips shared from the weekend:

Ohio State is feeling confident after a 56-7 win over No. 7 Michigan State. The Buckeyes will enter the game with a 10-1 record, the same mark as Michigan. At stake is a trip to Indianapolis for a chance to play for a B1G title.

The Buckeyes have won 8 straight games against Michigan. Last season, “The Game” was called off because of COVID-19 concerns, adding even more fuel to the fire.

The stage is set for one of the best games between the two bitter rivals. Is it Saturday yet?
