Special Volume: History of a Champion O-H-I-O

Congratulations to the Ohio State Buckeye football team for winning their ninth national championship. 

If you grew up in Ohio, especially in the 1960s and 70s, you were probably an OSU fan no matter where you ended up going to college in the state. My parents certainly were and they instilled the love of Buckeye football on us as well.

During the early 1970s, the Bucks’ offense featured a back who is still the only two-time winner of the Heisman Trophy, given to the country’s best player each year. Archie Griffin.

But we’re here to listen to one of those albums that my dad collected over the years more for what’s on it than to really listen to it. In fact it doesn’t look like he did much playing of this one at all.

This record recaps in great detail the 1974 season which ended in a Rose Bowl loss to USC for the national championship. You are going to hear some very familiar names if you are an older college football fan.

And I’m going to do something different. I’m going to play the whole album with only one interruption at the end of side one. Each side is 45 minutes long.

So get ready to hear Ohio football history through the voice of Marv Homan to celebrate the 2024 NCAA Football Championship in this Special Volume: History of a Champion; O-H-I-O
