Today's Tidbit... When Ohio Stadium Was Framed

The picture of Ohio Stadium below was taken one hundred years, six months, and two days ago when the Horseshoe was little more than a frame.

About six months later, the Buckeyes beat Ohio Wesleyan and Oberlin to start the 1922 season before opening their 63,000-seat stadium with a 19-0 loss to Michigan. Ohio State finished the year with a losing record. They did the same the next year and the year after before adding only six more losing seasons over the next century.

While Ohio State is unlikely to have a losing season in 2022 or lose to Wisconsin tonight, the good citizens of Badgerdom would be pleased if the Buckeyes dropped one tonight.

Here’s to a good game!
