OSU football team tramples cheerleader during title game intro (PHOTOS)

When all was said and done, the Ohio State football team had a way better finish than entrance at the National Championship Game against Oregon on Monday night — especially for one OSU cheerleader.

Usually, the Buckeyes race onto the field from the tunnel led by four students carrying large flags that spell out O-H-I-O. Before last night's, however, one of the flags got snagged on the ground, tripping a cheerleader and sending several players sprawling.  While the players did their best to avoid trampling the helpless rah-rah to death, the Spirit Squad was left missing an "O."

We spelled #OHIO wrong. Not a good start. Cmon Bucks!! #BucksNotDucks #UOvsOSU

Getty Images photographer Tom Pennington got three images of the pompom carnage and the heroic attempts of a male cheerleader who tried to help.

The horror... the horror.

Things ended up OK for everyone involved. Yay team!

Our Cheerleader is ok. Just a miscommunication with the team runout and the producers but everyone is ready for the second half !

A student posted the tweet you see below of a jersey that was on sale at a Foot Locker located on Ohio State's campus.

Hope they take more care when they spell Buckeyes.

OSU marching band performs a Michael Jackson tribute complete with moonwalk (VIDEO)

In case you didn't know the Ohio State University Marching Band puts on a half-time show that shouldn't be missed— here's proof.

During their latest performance — a tribute to Michael Jackson’s Bad album, released 25 years ago – the band entirely justified their claim to be The Best Damn Band in the Land.

In a routine during Saturday’s game against the University of Iowa, the band’s 225 musicians played a medley of hits, including the title track, Billie Jean, The Way You Make Me Feel and Man in the Mirror – but it was the formations that make your jaw drop.

They seamlessly moved from one to the other — at one point forming the word "Bad" and the crown that adorns the album cover.

The most impressive moment, though, arrived during Billie Jean, when the band formed an image of Michael Jackson himself (04:15), complete with a white glove —  and then moonwalked. All that was missing was Bubbles the Chimp.

Footage of the clip, posted to YouTube, has gone viral, with over two million views to date.
