Ohio State Fans Take 6-Hour, 19-Mile Walk to Spell Out 'Ohio' in Columbus
Define the word "dedication."
Some would throw in synonyms like "commitment" or "devotion." A fewer number of folks would think of classic Lil Wayne mixtapes.
A more accurate bunch might define it as walking 19 miles around the state of Ohio from 6:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. just to show support for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
That's what a Reddit user named Orweezy and a couple of his cronies did over the weekend, using GPS and Google Maps to show their dedication to the Buckeyes:
"My coworker friends and [I] thought it would be cool to start off the football season by mapping and walking the Ohio Script this past weekend and using the stadium as the "I" dotting. Would anyone be interested in doing this with us next year? Maybe even as a fund raising event for a good cause.
"
Another user pointed out that biking would be much easier. Orweezy agreed:
"LOL, we got like 8 miles into it and thought.... "you know this would have been better if we biked it" It took us 6 and a half hours of walking but we made a few bar stops so from 6:30am through 2:45pm. We were doing a work competition about fitness and the metrics used was time, so we walked everywhere and I think we just carried it over. I would rather bike it next time for sure.
"
Here's a map of the journey (notice the dotted "i" is Ohio Stadium):
This is true fandom at its finest.
