On this day (Oct. 9) in 1965, an Ohio State University tradition was born when the “Best Damn Band in the Land” played Hang On Sloopy for the first time.
Now Ohio’s official rock song, the tune was played in a halftime show that included Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers and a tribute to George Gershwin.
