I posted about this last year and got no response: OSU apparently now has some branding requirement that they be referred to as the "World Famous" Ohio State Buckeyes during national telecasts. This "brand" was used twice during the intro to today's game. Then, even worse, as the Buckeyes lined up for their first play, announcer Gus Johnson said, "Let's take a look at the offensive line for the 'World Famous' (w/o the rest of the name). Small penises up there in Columbus? Secondly, I've never heard a national play-by-play announcer scream in joy during a play. Johnson emitted guttural screams, along with "Yeah!" after successive Rourke sacks. This is sickening.

That's really bizarre.

You realize that the University has nothing to do with this and it’s not them “Branding” anything.

No other Big Ten school is given this "title." Just a Fox network thing? Referring to the offensive line as "the world-famous?"

It's a choice Gus Johnson makes, and it's a reference to Jesse Owens.

Why isn't their football team "world famous?" Just really stupid, especially the "world famous offensive line."

Did Mark Spitz win any gold medals with Hitler in the stands?

Yes. The Ohio Bobcats had a running back Jesse Owens (84-87) who gained 1,600+ yards and 11 TDs on some pretty bad teams. A real tough kid, IIRC.
