The athletic department has officially banned the chant and will be monitoring the student section moving forward. Thank you for helping bring some dignity back to our stadium. We finally reached the standard of respect that our university deserves.

As Ohio State kicks the ball off to the opposing team, students in Block O and surrounding sections can be heard screaming "O-H-I-O rip his fucking head off!" This chant is embarrassing, disrespectful, and does not represent The Ohio State University. We ask that the students stop using this chant.

I started this because I am tired of explaining to friends from other schools why our stadium feels so hostile. Reading through your experiences has only confirmed that this isn't just a few bad apples but a culture that needs to change. I am working to get this in front of officials who can actually address the conduct in the student section.

Seeing this conversation take off brings me a lot of relief because I have spent years sitting in the stands hoping for a change in our culture. It feels meaningful to see so many people agree that our traditions should reflect respect for the game rather than hostility.
