Archie Griffin dots the 'i' in Script Ohio during halftime of Ohio State season opener

The recognition is considered the greatest the Ohio State University Marching Band can extend to a nonmember.

In 1974, he was invited to help raise money for the March of Dimes in Mansfield, Ohio. I was there. He came in and if you didn't know who he was, he came in and helped out like the rest of us. He got to work, moved, hauled, did eveything we did. He lifted the heavier items, so the older women wouldn't and treated everyone so kindly. I was 14 yrs old. in awe. Starstruck and not the only one who was. He didnt bring anyone, he drove himself up, arrived early, he gave autographs, stood for pictures as long ss needed. He stayed and helped us until everything was cleaned up. From beginning to the end he was the consummate gentleman in every way. He offered to come back whenever they needed to raise any more money. He came to help others and he did, in multiple ways.

Archie spoke at our church and all I remember is him saying, "When I get into the endzone, and raise my finger in a #1, that's not for me. It's for my Saviour, Jesus Christ. Without Him, I wouldn't be saved." He is a humble, genuine man.

[@sarahhughes7128]

Hey look a Ohio State schedule

[@EllEss331]

I think they needed a few more photographers to totally detract from the event. They ruined the whole visual. Tacky

There’s no “I” in team, but there’s no “I” in “Get the F- out of the left lane” either.
