Some say he's the last voice you hear after the final whistle — a storyteller born from the echoes of America's greatest games.

The Gridiron Ghost travels to Columbus, Ohio, where a concrete cathedral became a sacred shrine to college football. From the birth of Script Ohio to the roar of The Game, this is the legend of The Horseshoe: Ohio State's Cathedral of Football.

They call him the Gridiron Ghost — the eternal narrator of college football, keeper of its rivalries and rituals.

In this episode, the Ghost stands at the edge of the Olentangy River, where in 1922 an architectural marvel rose from the ground — The Horseshoe.
Designed like a Roman amphitheater and built by the people of Ohio, it became more than a stadium. It became a sanctuary.

Discover how Script Ohio, "Dotting the i," and the O-H! I-O! chant turned a city into a choir, and how Woody Hayes' fire, Urban Meyer's resurgence, and a century of heroes carved the identity of an entire state.
Uncover the hidden time capsule buried beneath the rotunda, the legends who dotted the "i," and the moments that made The Game against Michigan more religion than rivalry.

For the fans in scarlet and gray, the Horseshoe is more than concrete and steel — it's a living monument to unity, memory, and belonging.
Because in Columbus, football isn't just what they play. It's what they pray.
