BACKING THE BUCKS SINCE 1938

OUR STORY

Founded in 1938 by Clancy Isaac, Block O started with one goal: bring Buckeye pride to life inside Ohio Stadium. That vision became reality at the Homecoming game on October 1, 1938, when the first official cheering section took the field -- and the card stunt tradition began. Clancy's passion set the standard, and it still drives us today.

More than 85 years later, Block O has grown, but the mission hasn't changed: show up, be loud, and support the Buckeyes, Through every era, Block O has remained a place where spirit, tradition, and friendship come together.

Now spanning 11 sections and over 2,500 students each game, Block O has expanded far beyond football. From supporting other sports to giving back through philanthropy, there are countless ways to get involved.

At the end of the day, Block O is about more than game day -- it's about the people, the traditions, and the memories you carry with you long after you leave campus. Go Bucks!
